The Pedophile File

[Jeff]

Has anyone explained how, if Sandusky left Penn State in 1999 (presumably under an unmentionable cloud), he was still apparently welcome to escort minors into the locker room and showers for years afterward?

Unus pro omnibus, omnes pro uno.

Nests of pedophiles are tight-knit groups, presumably.

Part of the deal he "negotiated" before retiring. Included retaining an office on the campus, various sorts of access to open to emeritus coaches of the university and other goodies.

As late as last year running sleepover camps on campus...

Jerry Sandusky, the longtime defensive coordinator for the Penn State Nittany Lions charged with sexually abusing young boys over a 15-year period, including four years when Sandusky still was a member of the staff, was running an overnight football camp for kids on Penn State campuses as recently as last year, according to Deadspin.

Sandusky ran the camp, called Sandusky's Football Camp, for nearly a decade, but by summer 2010, the camp stopped running because a grand jury had already begun its investigation into the sexual allegations.

Spanier was at Nebraska-Lincoln, just saying. All of this, as I have realized today with horror (PSU alum and from area), is perfectly consistent with a pedophile ring--and that's consistent with the feudalistic nature of the 'modern' university, which sucks up public money but is accountable to almost no one. PSU has always been veiled in secrecy, and has always been associated with black budget stuff, CIA recruiting, and so forth. Don't forget about the Sunshine Project's attempt to shed light on the http://www.nldt.org/, for example.

Anyway, I'm having creepy flashbacks and trying to remember what was said in bars, years ago. We'll see what pops up. Please, though, realize that those thousands of fans are assholes, always have been, always will be. There's even rifts at PSU, and not everyone 'bleeds blue and white' or otherwise buys into the culture. PSU and its money have RUINED the environment and watershed of Happy Valley; Paterno is and has ALWAYS BEEN a corrupt son of a bitch, and many people know this. He is a lowlife. They have forced out farmers, speculated up land prices, been implicated in development schemes that have ruined our area's scenic beauty. They have built interstate highways and bypasses and stomped all over local activists, who subsist on the fringes.

Police: No link between long-missing DA, Sandusky

Uh huh. Right. Sure.

[geogeo]

I think I was mostly coherent in my last post, though not totally. My point was that in an economically-depressed area, all of this greed and profligacy beget jobs--so everyone OUTSIDE Happy Valley, us mutant hillbilly 'townies' 'from Deliverance', depend desperately on the place. Yes, PSU is the ultimate job creator, creating the economy that everyone says is what this country needs.

I also wanted to point out that, at least in local culture, for many, the boy who has been victimized is as guilty, sometimes more so, than the grown-up. I doubt anything has changed from when I grew up and witnessed a boy who had been victimized; the story came out and the good townspeople in their righteous fury drove the predator out. But the boy was brutally beaten on nearly a daily basis, which I saw with my own eyes, and I seem to remember that no adult wanted to do anything about it. All quite ironic, because there had been some sort of a pedophile scandal in the town that was hushed up, some years before--involving the 1% of our town, as I remember. In any case, I suspect it will be quite difficult for many more victims to come out of their own accord in this scandal, until someone sets up a support network directly for 'white trash' 'trailer trash' 'working class' white victims from forgotten Pennsylvania hollows. Somehow, I just don't see the PSU alumni fundraiser to help the victims doing that.

In case I haven't made it clear, to me this is very much of a class issue as well--and this is typically un-analyzed in the media.

What I also think is that pedophilia is far more widespread across America than we pretend it to be. Just my own opinion.

Police: No link between long-missing DA, Sandusky

Uh huh. Right. Sure.

Rickard, the police detective investigating Gricar's disappearance, said Gricar's refusal to prosecute Paxson dovetails with what he knows of the prosecutor.

"Ray was a hard-charger. If there was something there, I'm convinced he would have gone after that," he said, referring to the 1998 case and any other case Gricar refused to prosecute.

Rickard has gone through Gricar's personal effects, his desk drawers, his note-filled day planner and found nothing to suggest Gricar was still involved with—or otherwise concerned about—the Sandusky case by the time he disappeared.

"I can say that prior to Ray's disappearance, there was absolutely nothing going on with Ray Gricar and Jerry Sandusky," Rickard said.

Master detective Rickard seems to forget the hard drive that Gricar apparently meant to destroy. It is probable that any notes he might have made related to an investigation (if that investigation is linked to his disappearance) would have been destroyed as well. But anyway, I'm surprised Rickard hasn't cracked the case yet.

"To me it's just another sign of how much is covered up within Happy Valley."

Crittenden also thinks there is a lot more to the Sandusky story, which also features former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, an assistant coach, and three former top Penn State officials.

"I think that this is a cover up of epic proportions," Crittenden said.

He says reporters always had trouble digging up sensitive information at Penn State, and he believes there's much more to this story.

[Luther Blissett]

Just for posterity and continuity, and because it hasn't been brought up yet with regards to the Sandusky case, it's worth reiterating the stance that something about the way power corrupts leads to that penultimate actualization of fascism, pedophilia; or that something about those who are driven to hoard power are predisposed to become fascist pedophiles.

Scapegoating gay men for the Penn State tragedy
...
Some good responses in the comments, pointing out that Sandusky is a married man and a father. "Until you can show that he can sleep with adult men, you heterosexuals own him because at least we know he can sleep with women."

umm, the problem is he's not a bio-dad of any kids...

Sandusky is married and has six adopted children. He also took in foster children.

Jesus, what's the "other 1%" possibility of what happened to him? Kidnapped and held captive? That gave me chills.

I really like this crowd.

Corbett Investigating Allies is Unethical http://casablancapa.blogspot.com/2010/1 ... cal-alli...

PA Attorney General Tom Corbett ignored complaints about misuses of $7 billion Hershey Trust as far back as 2007. The question is whether Corbett owes too much to his political allies including Hershey Trust chairman Leroy Zimmerman to investigate them fairly. Corbett has significant conflicts of interest w leadership of the Trust who sponsor fundraisers for his campaign in the millions. The Trust exists for one purpose - to provide a boarding school for as many needy kids as funds allow. However, they used their for profit subsidiary HERCO to serve their own purposes. The Inquirer pointed out that HERCO has paid less than 0.002 percent of their revenues to support the school in recent years, even though the school owns 100% of HERCO. HERCO controls the hotels, amusement park, campground, etc. http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index. ... _should_...
