The story just keeps getting worse and more legitimate against Papa Joe & Jerry. How disgusting can it get?
CNN reported Friday that Joe Paterno knew of a 15-year-old boy who was allegedly raped by Sandusky in a Penn State bathroom in 1971. The victim, referred to as Victim A in the story, says Sandusky came up behind him in a bathroom, wrestled him to the ground and raped him. Victim A said he told his foster parents about the incident, and his foster father told him to call a couple of high-ranking officials at Penn State.
Victim A made the call, and talked to two men who identified themselves as Jim and Joe. Victim A does not know who Jim was, but claims that Joe was Penn State coach Joe Paterno, telling CNN "I've heard that voice a million times. It was Joe Paterno."
According to Victim A, after telling the two men about what happened, they accused him of making the entire story up, and told him they were going to "call the authorities."
Victim A was never interviewed by authorities during Sandusky's trial because he fell outside the statute of limitations, but he did receive a settlement from Penn State acknowledging him as one of Sandusky's victims.
Another story, this one from NBC News, reports that Joe Paterno wasn't the only coach who knew of Sandusky's crimes as far back as the 1970s, but that up to six Penn State assistants were aware. ...
