Football Possible PSU Bombshell: Joe Knew in 1976 - Page 8

**gblowfish** · 05-06-2016, 10:53 AM

New story in the Washington Post says JoPa knew about Sandusky's child molestation as early as 1976....and did nothing about it.

Even in Joe Paterno’s last days, the iconic college football coach maintained his innocence in the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal at Penn State.

A report published Thursday by PennLive.com offers new evidence Paterno might have first heard about accusations that his former defensive coordinator was molesting children as early as 1976.

Described as “a new bombshell” in the Sandusky saga, the report references a court order on a related insurance coverage case involving the more than $60 million the university has paid out in civil claims filed by victims of Sandusky’s child molesting crimes. Penn State is seeking reimbursement for those settlements from its insurance carriers.

According to PennLive, the court order contains claims by one of Penn State’s insurers that “in 1976, a child allegedly reported to PSU’s Head Coach Joseph Paterno that he (the child) was sexually molested by Sandusky.”

“The order also cites separate references in 1987 and 1988 in which unnamed assistant coaches witnessed inappropriate contact between Sandusky and unidentified children, and a 1988 case that was supposedly referred to Penn State’s athletic director at the time,” the Penn Live report says.

All of these examples were taken from victims’ depositions used in the still-pending insurance case. According to PennLive, those documents are sealed.

Judge Gary Glazer has decided not to bar insurance time claims from the above referenced dates because, “There is no evidence that reports of these incidents ever went further up the chain of command at PSU,” he wrote.

Penn State told NBC News Thursday night it was aware of the allegations, “but the legal case and confidentiality commitments that govern our settlement agreements preclude us from discussing these matters at all.”

In the last interview before his death, former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno told the Post's Sally Jenkins he had no knowledge of accusations of child molestation involving former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. Paterno's comments conflict with the Louis Freeh report released Thursday, claiming that the legendary football coach and other top university officials engaged in a cover up.

In a 2012 interview with The Post’s Sally Jenkins, Paterno could not explain how Sandusky evaded him and so many different authorities, for so long.

“I wish I knew,” Paterno said. “I don’t know the answer to that. It’s hard.”

The Paterno family, who have zealously disputed claims that Paterno knew of Sandusky’s misdeeds, spoke out against the latest allegations through an attorney.

Isn't there a movement from die hard PSU Alum about trying to get Joe Paterno's statue re-instated somewhere on campus?

Do you think this torpedoes that suggestion?

I don't even understand how this is possible.

I understand the concept of Paterno having screwed up priorities and putting his football team before the welfare of children. It's totally ****ed up, but i comprehend the reasoning for it. How in the hell does he let Sandusky on campus after finding out?

He could have just told Sandusky to go away, discontinue anything related to him without hurting his football program. Maybe he saves some children along the way.

Not only is Paterno a selfish bastard but he's a worthless PoS. He couldn't even gather up the energy up to make a single call to disavow Sandusky from the Penn State football program, to stop enabling of a child predator.

I've done many things wrong in my life but come on.

I absolutely CANNOT understand how ANYONE could defend anyone in this

If they want to replace the Paterno Statue with one of Sandusky raping a teenager, then that would certainly be more accurate...

Teenager? Shit try elementary, a teen was too old for that piece of shit

Sandusky must have been a really good defensive coach. I bet before the big games Paterno would say, "Jerry, hold them to 17 or less, or I'm going to have to turn you in."

Maybe Paterno should have been more worried about the 17 or less off the field. I can't believe there are dipshits actually wanting to bring his statue back.

So much this.

This is the saddest sports related story I can ever remember. So many innocent children's lives ruined to protect a freakin football program.

Just boggles the mind.

Sick and disgusting to put a football season above the lives of children.

Penn State fans need to stop admiring Joe Paterno. What a sick, disgusting man.

Ohio State needs to fire Greg Schiano as well.

There is so much fail in this tale. For starters:

Coaches showering with little kids? Walking in on someone with their hand down a 13 year old boys shorts and your response being

Quote:

"oh, sorry," and immediately walked out

Not "what's going on?" or pulling the kid away getting his side of the story immediately.

I have lots of friends and family that went to Penn State. Sad to see the schools reputation take such a hit. Where the hell are all these little kids coming from anyway at four year college?

It's nothing but blood, shit, cum, and shower water under the bridge at this point.

"Stalker post"? LOL

Here is the point: This is an issue that people want to talk about, and you're trying pretty damn hard to get everybody to just shut up about it. You are acting just like Hillary did when she said "What does it matter?".

It does matter. That's why people want to talk about it. Why do you insist upon trying to censor the discussion? Are you a Penn State fan?
