Read the Grand Jury report (link at New York Times website).
In 1998, Sandusky confessed to campus police AND a victim's mother that he had molested the 11 year old boy in the Penn State showers. While the campus police were investigating that incident, they found another 10/11 year old who was similarly molested by Sandusky in the Penn State showers. Nevertheless, the Centre County DA was asked to drop the prosecution by the Penn State police. It is quite apparent a deal was struck because when Penn State finished the 98 season (bowl game in spring '99 - Paterno directly told Sandusky that Sandusky would no longer be Paterno's successor as head coach, and Sandusky agreed to resign, AFTER negotiating a resignation deal allowing him to retain an office, phone, email account, and access to all the Penn State sports facilities (including the infamous showers), PLUS continue to offer summer football camps for youths on Penn State branch campus.
Do not delude yourself that Paterno, who ranked above God, let alone the university president, on the Penn State campus, got rid of his heir apparent without specific knowledge of Sandusky's confessed pedophilia. Penn State got the coverup, and for 13 years the monster pedophile wore the Penn State blue & white & used the university's name & Paterno's football reputation to lure young boys to his football camps.
Bottom line: Sandusky confessed. There was not a scintilla of doubt as to his guilt. Paterno knew. Paterno covered up for 13 years, allowing other young boys to be seduced, threatened, molested and raped.
