I think this whole Penn State thing is gonna get a lot worse...

read this: Jerry Sandusky Rumored To Have 'Pimped' Boys To Donors: REPORT


...............Shockingly, there are reports that even more depraved details about the sexual crimes committed by Sandusky will be revealed in the coming days. As the quasi-riots shook the Penn State campus late Wednesday evening and early Thursday morning, SportsByBrooks began tweeting ominous messages about allegations that have yet to become public.


@SPORTSbyBROOKS

I can confirm there will soon be new, major allegation involving child sex abuse in Sandusky case. Told tonite it could come before Saturday

@SPORTSbyBROOKS

if what I was told tonight about the details of the new allegation in Sandusky child sex case is true, it will horrify the public.

@SPORTSbyBROOKS

This is a deadly serious matter. Keep the victims in your thoughts. Cannot emphasize that enough. In your thoughts.

Several hours after these SportsByBrooks tweets, Pittsburgh radio host Mark Madden appeared on The Dennis and Callahan Show on WEEI in Boston and shared what he believes those allegations to be.

"I can give you a rumor and I can give you something I think might happen," Madden said on the radio. "I hear there's a rumor that there will be a more shocking development from the Second Mile Foundation -- and hold on to your stomachs, boys, this is gross, I will use the only language I can -- that Jerry Sandusky and Second Mile were pimping out young boys to rich donors. That was being investigated by two prominent columnists even as I speak."
Madden has been following the Sandusky case long before the former coach's alleged sex crimes against young boys became widely known several days ago. In April, Madden authored an article for the Beaver County Times positing that Sandusky's sex crimes had been swept under the rug by Penn State in the late 1990s in exchange for his quiet resignation.

"The other thing I think that may eventually become uncovered, and I talked about this in my original article back in April, is that I think they'll find out that Jerry Sandusky was told that he had to retire in exchange for a cover-up," said Madden during his Thursday morning radio appearance. "If you look at the timeline, that makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
If the allegations that Madden is making are indeed the same ones foreshadowed by Brooks and they turn out to be true then this entire scandal will continue to metastasize and the firing of Paterno will only be the beginning.

2. I'm wary of these kinds of stories because of the Wenatchee sex ring...
and the McMartin preschool case.

They have a tendency to become witch hunts.

And before anyone climbs down my throat, I am making no claims that this is the case here.

3. The difference is...
we aren't seeking testimony from pre-schoolers but from adults and some teenagers.

12. People don't change with the times.
A witch hunt is still a witch hunt.

6. I know, it is rumors now.....and probably should verify if true or not...
I may-be shouldn't have posted this until the rumors are either confirmed or denied.

4. Retire in exchange for a cover-up? Man-O-Man...shit is going to hit the fan.
This is deep. If he's been pimping little boys to rich donors, I hope they get the rich donors also! :grr:

9. There is definitely some cover up going on
Why did they let Sandusky resign quietly after the first allegations surfaced and the case was never perused? What happened to the DA who knew of the allegations and is now a missing person? What did the DA have on his hard drive that he was trying to get rid of?

13. Yep! The DA had the case. He is now missing. They found his car, a laptop (in a river), no hard
drive and he has disappeared from the face of the earth. Could be dead or could have been paid a LOT of money and is sitting on some island vacationing for the rest of his life. The FBI is investigating.

17. How bizarre. The missing HD is an important clue, plus I heard about
a search re hard drive destruction found on his home computer.

16. conspiracy theory nonsense
The DA, Ray Gricar, who decided not to go forward to trial with the 1998 allegations against Sandusky (they were mild allegations, and any DA would likely not have taken the case forward either) mysteriously disappeared years later in 2005. It is still unknown whether he was murdered, committed suicide or if for some odd reason took off to a new life.

Personally, I think foul play was involved. He was last seen speaking to a still unidentified woman near where his car was abandoned, and though he was a staunch anti-tobacco advocate and would never allow anyone to smoke in his car a small amount of cigarette ash was found on the passenger side of the car and the interior smelled like tobacco smoke. After an extensive investigation there was no indication whatsoever that he ditched his life for a new one. He was about to retire with a handsome retirement package, there was nothing at all shady about his finances (no stockpiling money secretly to provide for his new life) and he disappeared with nothing at all but the clothes on his back. When people intend to ditch their life for a new one, they prepare for it - particularly financially - and there would have been at least some evidence of that.

He was declared legally dead last July, but neither he nor his body has ever been found, and there is still no inkling of what happened to him.

Interestingly, his brother, Roy, disappeared in 1996. His body was discovered in a river a week later, and his death was ruled a suicide.

11. If he was pimping little boys to poweful/rich donors I expect Sandusky might commit "suicide"
very soon.
