Riley Keough, Kathy Baker, Greg Grunberg and Annie Parisse also star. It stars Al Pacino as former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, and his career leading up to his dismissal following the university's child sex abuse scandal in 2011. Once, in 1998, the State College police got involved, but the investigation went nowhere one of the many dismaying passages in the document is this: “Detective Schreffler advised Sandusky not to shower with any child again and Sandusky said he would not.” (That’s when it looked like Sandusky could be the next head coach.Paterno is a 2018 American television drama film directed by Barry Levinson. The janitor told others on the cleaning staff it seems to have stayed with them. That was seven years before he allegedly assaulted Victim 1, another boy he met through his charity, in the basement of his home. (The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has a timeline.) A janitor allegedly saw Sandusky performing oral sex on Victim 8 in the same set of showers where he would be seen, two years later, with Victim 2. Listing them in sequence might have made reading the report even less bearable: you read about the potential ruin of a child’s life, and then move back in time to the missed chance to have stopped all this.
(He is facing forty charges involving the sexual abuse of children, all boys between about eight and twelve years old.) Paterno wasn’t charged that doesn’t mean he doesn’t bear a great deal of blame.Ĭould it be worse? Yes: the 2002 incident involves only the boy described as “Victim 2” the findings extend to “Victim 8.” They are not listed in chronological order Victim 1’s story is set in 20, Victim 3 and 8’s in the summer and fall of 2000 Victims 4 and 5, from roughly 1996-99 Victim 6 in 1998. Their attorneys have denied the charges, as has Sandusky’s. They are being arraigned this morning, and went on leave and retired, respectively, last night. That was, as the grand jury notes, “in contravention of Pennsylvania law.” Curley and Schultz were indicted for that omission, and also for allegedly lying to the grand jury. The Penn State officials never reported an eyewitness account-not some “Doubt”-like insinuation-to any child-protection officials. But “both the graduate assistant and Curley testified that Sandusky himself was not banned from any Penn State buildings and Curley admitted that the ban on bringing children to the campus was unenforceable.” In other words, according to the grand jury’s findings, university officials did nothing to stop a man who used his reputation as one of their coaches to get access to children-he brought the boys to games, gave them gifts of sports equipment, told them stories about the athletes he could help them to be (one of the many levels of cruelty here)-other than tell him not to rape them on Penn State property. Sandusky was told not to bring more children into the football building. He also said that the university was taking away Sandusky’s locker-room keys. He testified that he told them “that he had witnessed what he believed to be Sandusky having anal sex with a boy.” A couple of weeks later, Curley let him know that they’d said something to people at a foundation Sandusky supported, The Second Mile, which was meant to benefit boys in difficult situations (this is how he seems to have found his alleged victims). A week and a half later, the graduate assistant was asked to a meeting with Curley and Gary Schultz, a university vice-president. The next day, according to Paterno, he told the athletic director, Tim Curley, about the conversation with the assistant-exactly what he told him is in some dispute. Sandusky had retired, but had the status of an emeritus professor, an office in the facility, and his own keys to the locker room. He told Paterno that he had seen Jerry Sandusky, Penn State’s former defensive coördinator, raping a boy in the football locker room’s shower. In 2002, according to the findings (pdf) of a grand jury in Pennsylvania, a graduate coaching assistant came to Paterno’s home on a Saturday morning.
