This week, the former head of the FBI, Louis Freeh, released a damning
report on the Jerry Sandusky child molestation case, regarding the former
Penn State assistant coach, molesting disadvantaged young boys at the
school, by raping and having sex with them in the showers.
Sandusky was convicted of said charges in a criminal court of law this
year. The official review and report by Freeh, regarding the crimes and how
they were allowed to transpire and for so long, reveals a widespread
cover-up at Penn State, which included the complicity of head coach, the
late Joe Paterno.
Freeh, who was commissioned by Penn State's board
of trustees, issued a 267 page report on the case. During a press
conference this week Freeh stated, "Our most saddening and sobering finding is the total
disregard for the safety and welfare of Sandusky's child victims by the
most senior leaders at Penn State. The most powerful men at Penn State
failed to take any steps for 14 years to protect the children who Sandusky
victimized."
There is no excuse for this. Everyone that knew and
looked the other way
should be prosecuted. So many lives were destroyed by this
inexcusable
corruption and cowardice. And for every time people looked the
other way,
Sandusky went after more children and molested them. Someone should
have spoken out and done something to stop the kids being
molested. When you look the other way to crime, it empowers
criminals to
think they can do more and worse.
