Penn St. is going to be paying out big for years to come.
Spanier supports the queer agenda, which means he supports the pedophile agenda.
I could see the possibility of civil charges against the administrators for any incidents after the first time they were made aware of Sandusky's proclivities but there's likely enough plausible deniability built into their actions that proving guilt could be difficult.
I don't forsee anyone else doing jail time unless Sandusky had partners or a pedophile network. Some believe Sandusky was actually a procurer for other pedos and that the charity was simply a front for their operations.
Almost everyone focused on Joe Paterno as responsible for this scandal. But as I pointed out at the time, he reported the incident to his superiors, and it was those superiors who decided to sit on it and cover up.
In particular, it was the President of Penn State who authorized the coverup, at the athletic director’s urging. The buck stopped with him.
And, as I noticed at the time, one of that President’s announced policies when he took over was to push for more gay rights at Penn State. Well, I guess he did.
But as you can see from the comments, pro and con, the discussion immediately drifts to Paterno and the Catholic Church, although neither bears the responsibility for what happened. The idea seems to be to deflect responsibility from gay rights to Catholic priests, and so far it has been a pretty effective propaganda ploy.

They chose to protect a monster rather than innocent victims with their “humane” treatment.
What a disgrace.
How stupid. Paterno’s reputation is permanently tarnished.
Penn State is a queer college....
Penn State needs to be razed to the ground and then nuked from orbit. Just to be sure.
Joe Paterno's statue has to come down. That's clear today, now that CNN has released emails that bury Paterno and his Penn State cronies with their own dirty words.
Paterno's statue outside Beaver Stadium has to come down, because otherwise Penn State would be celebrating a man who helped talk school officials into leaving Jerry Sandusky alone in 2001, letting an alleged pedophile escape detection for another decade, giving that alleged pedophile -- and it's not "alleged" anymore -- unfettered access to campus for another decade.
. . . . .
CNN found an email from Curley that said: "After giving it more thought and talking it over with Joe [Paterno] yesterday, I am uncomfortable with what we agreed were the next steps. I am having trouble with going to everyone, but the person involved."
In other words, Curley still wanted to confront Sandusky, Paterno's longtime defensive coordinator. But call Second Mile to warn them Sandusky was using the charity to groom potential victims? Call child welfare officials to tell them of the predator in their midst?
Curley didn't want to do that. Not after "talking it over with Joe."
And Spanier, gutless cretin that he is, signed off on the new plan.
"I am supportive," Spanier wrote in an email obtained by CNN. "The only downside for us if the message isn't heard and acted upon, and then we become vulnerable for not having reported it."
Read that again.
The only downside for us if the message isn't heard and acted upon is that we become vulnerable for not having reported it.
Never mind the downside of another boy -- or 10 more boys -- being molested by a pedophile. That wasn't the downside that scared Spanier. What scared Spanier? That Penn State, and Penn State officials, would be "vulnerable."
