It began with an article Rich Luthmann wrote for the Frank Report, where he mentioned Jerry Sandusky, the former Penn State football coach convicted of sexually abusing boys in 2012.
The Frank Report repeated the common narrative and read, in part:
“Joe Paterno, then the head football coach, faced criticism for not adequately addressing reports of misconduct by his assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky. Sandusky was convicted in 2012 for the abuse of ten boys, receiving a sentence of 30 to 60 years in prison. “A former Penn State quarterback, Mike McQueary, had reported witnessing Sandusky raping a boy in a Penn State locker room shower in 2001. Paterno informed Penn State officials but did not contact law enforcement. The revelations led to Paterno’s firing in 2011. He died a few months later.”
After publishing the story, I received an email from Frederick Crews, PhD, an Emeritus Professor of English at Berkeley, who authored numerous books, including “Freud: The Making of an Illusion,” published in 2017. His email was short: “The truth about the Sandusky case is exactly opposite to what the public believes. Please read this, just for starters: A Shower Of Lies: Spanier, Sandusky And The Mess At Penn State.
I read his essay and found more articles Crews had written about Sandusky. We spoke on the phone. He surprised me when he told me he was 90.
Why would a man past 90, an educated man, with a keen clear mind and the ability to express himself in concise language, put time into exonerating a notorious pedophile?
Crews said he did not know Sandusky before his conviction.
A Small Group Are Unconvinced
Online searches revealed that a small group thinks Sandusky may be innocent.
John Ziegler, for example, produced a documentary “Framing Paterno,” which argues that media and public opinion unfairly targeted Joe Paterno in the aftermath of the Sandusky scandal. Ziegler maintains a website called FramingPaterno.com. He interviewed Sandusky in prison and shared those interviews publicly.
Then there is Ralph Cipriano, a journalist formerly with the Los Angeles Times and The Philadelphia Inquirer. He has written extensively about the Sandusky prosecution.
And John Snedden, a former NCIS agent who is a special agent for the Federal Investigative Services. He conducted an independent investigation on the president of Penn State who was fired for the Sandusky coverup.
“There was no coverup,” Snedden said on Ziegler’s podcast. “There was no conspiracy. There was nothing to cover up.” Ziegler asked Snedden if he turned up evidence during his investigation that Sandusky was a pedophile.
“It was not sexual,” Snedden said about what Mike McQueary allegedly heard and saw in the Penn State showers. “It was not sexual,” Snedden insisted. “Nothing at all relative to a sexual circumstance. Nothing.”
Then there is Mark Pendergrast, who wrote the book, “The Most Hated Man in America: Jerry Sandusky and the Rush to Judgment.” He reviews the evidence, trial proceedings, and media coverage of the case and suggests Sandusky is innocent.
Pendergrast has also written on recovered memories, authoring two books, “Victims of Memory: Sex Abuse Accusations and Shattered Lives,” and “The Repressed Memory Epidemic: How It Happened and What We Need to Learn from It.” In these books, he delves into the psychological phenomenon of repressed and recovered memories in the context of sexual abuse allegations.
This is relevant because almost the entire case against Sandusky was built on “recovered memory.”
The case ignited with McQueary, who said he saw Sandusky in the shower with a boy. That boy, Allan Myers, initially said Sandusky never sexually abused him. Through the help of a psychotherapist, Myers recalled he was sexually abused.
He did not testify at the trial.
But eight men did. Of the eight, seven had forgotten Sandusky abused them as boys. Therapists helped them remember, after they had retained lawyers.
Eight men testified at Sandusky’s 2012 trial, telling stories of abuse when they were boys.
The Victims and Their Awards
Here are the “victims” and their awards from Penn State:
- Aaron Fisher, $7.5 million
- Allan Myers, $6.9 million. (Shower boy; he didn’t testify.)
- Jason Simcisko, $7.25 million
- Brett Swisher-Houtz, $7.25 million
- Michal Kajak, $8.1 million
- Zachary Konstas, $1.5 million
- Dustin Struble, $3.25 million
- Unknown, unnamed, never-identified “victim,” no payment because he never materialized
- Sabastian Paden, $20 million
- Ryan Rittmeyer, $5.5 million
Victim #8 is a man unknown. Victim #10, Ryan Rittmeyer, is the only victim who did not need a therapist to remember Sandusky abused him.
All victims met Sandusky through the Second Mile, a charity he founded in 1977, an organization said to serve troubled boys, but later known to be a setup for Sandusky to sexually abuse boys – and, it seems, to forget they were ever abused. There was never any report of sexual abuse by any boy, nor contemporary reports of abuse, despite hundreds of rapes and sexual acts by Sandusky against forgetful boys.
No allegation came out until Sandusky was under investigation for the shower boy incident, when two attorneys came on the scene to help any man who ever met Sandusky as a boy remember.
Victim 5 – Michal Kajak – for instance, did not remember being abused by Sandusky. But memory recall therapy revealed Sandusky abused him when he was 10. More therapy helped him remember he was not ten at the time, but actually 12. Next, he remembered he was not 12, but actually almost 14.
Kajak’s abuse was not rape. Memory therapy helped him recall that Sandusky soaped him up in the shower and may have touched his penis. He got $8.1 million.
Then there is Sabastian Paden (victim 9). Paden did not recall any abuse by Sandusky but later recalled Sandusky molesting him about 150 times. On one occasion, Sandusky locked Paden in his basement for three days, starving him and raping him anally and orally, while Dottie Sandusky, one floor above, was undisturbed by his screams.
Paden went away with the highest award – $20 million. Afterward, he went on Facebook to post: “Shit I’m balling like a mother fuck yea $.”
Based on his conviction, and the settlements of Penn State, Sandusky committed more than 500 rapes without any boy making a complaint.
If we believe the evidence the jury believed, justice was served. And the biggest dispenser of justice was attorney Andrew Shubin. He represented most of the victims who testified at the trial. Before they testified he helped them get their memories back by referring them to recovered memory psychotherapists. He represented poor men and made them millionaires – taking between one-third to half of their settlements with Penn State – between $20-30 million.
He did it all on spec. He did not charge them a dime; which he explained upfront unless they got money. Then they shared.
In fact, Shubin represented the boy seen in the shower by Asst. Coach McQueary, which started the whole thing. The shower boy, a man named Allan Myers, did not testify at Sandusky’s trial because attorney Shubin chose not to disclose his whereabouts, which apparently was at a rural location Shubin provided for the young man.
It made sense. Myers might have been a bad witness and if he testified justice might not be served. Myers originally told police Sanudsky did not abuse him, though he did shower with him in the locker room showers at Penn State.
Attorney Shubin provided Myers with a recovered memory therapist and Myers recalled his abuse. He got $6.9 million.
The Mystery of Victim 8 and the Reliability of Testimony
Of the ten whose victimization convicted Sandusky, two did not appear at trial: the shower boy, Myers, and Victim 8, whose name remains unknown to this date.
His existence is known only through the testimony of a Penn State janitor. He never saw Victim 8, but heard from another janitor that Sandusky abused an unknown boy in the locker room at an unspecified time.
The original janitor who witnessed the abuse was not called to testify due to cognitive issues. However, he had previously told police that the abuser whom he saw was most definitely not Sandusky.
Victim 8 never testified because he was never identified. The man who saw him being abused did not testify, as he was said to have dementia. Victim 8 came to life before the jury through a janitor who heard from another janitor that the unknown boy was abused. Double hearsay created Victim 8, who never received any money because he never came forward.
Rittmeyer’s Testimony: A Memory Unclouded
But eight young men did testify, and seven recovered memories aided by a therapist recommended by their attorneys. One man, the eighth, Ryan Rittmeyer, did not need therapy. He remembered Sandusky abusing him as a boy. He called the attorney general’s hotline, which sought victims of Sandusky, and retained attorney Andrew Shubin.
Rittmeyer was convicted of burglary in 2004, then burglary and assault in 2007. His criminal record expanded to include convictions for impersonation, criminal solicitation, robbery, and reckless endangerment, all of which was later blamed on the trauma inflicted by Sandusky.
Like other accusers, Rittmeyer never revealed his abuse when it happened as a boy.
But the man, Rittmeyer, testified Sandusky drove him in a silver convertible, exposed his penis, and invited the boy to put it in his mouth. Rittmeyer refused. Sandusky threatened to kill him.
Everything Rittmeyer said, the jury believed, except possibly the silver convertible. Sandusky never had a convertible. Rittmeyer received $5.5 million.
Rittmeyer was perhaps the best, most forthcoming witness possibly because he did not need therapy to remember his abuse.
Which brings us back to the shower boy who hid during the trial. He was likely to be a terrible witness since just a few months before retaining attorney Shubin, Myers told investigator Curtis Everhart, “Never in my life did I ever feel uncomfortable or violated… never did Jerry do wrong by me… I will never have anything bad to say about Jerry.”
He learned to recall this was untrue.
As Prosecutor Joseph McGettigan told the jury before calling his witnesses, he would have to “press these young men for the details of their victimization,” because “they don’t want to remember.” “That’s why the investigation was slow,” McGettigan told the jury, because “the doors of people’s minds” were closed.
Nobody believed Myers would make a good witness to corroborate McQueary’s story of how he saw Sandusky rape him when he was 10. For one thing, Myers was 14 at the time it allegedly happened.
McQueary’s Impact on the Case
Which brings us back to the man who got the ball rolling – Mike Jacob McQueary who saw Myers in the shower with Sandusky.
An athlete, McQueary, then in his twenties, at 6’4″ and 220 pounds, said in 2002, he saw a naked, 57-year-old Sandusky raping a 10-year-old boy in the locker room showers and ran away. He did not even call the police but he told head coach Joe Paterno the following day.
His original story got the ball rolling against Sandusky.
Later, McQueary changed his story to align with Paterno’s later-revealed diary, backdating it to 2001, since Paterno’s diary showed he was out of town on the date McQueary said he reported the incident to him.
Later still he claimed he never said he saw Sandusky rape the 10-year-old boy.
He wrote deputy Attorney General Jonelle Eshbach, “I cannot say 1000 percent sure that it was sodomy. I did not see insertion. It was a sexual act and or way over the line in my opinion whatever it was.”
His story changed again. After being ridiculed for running away with a rape of a 10-year-old boy in progress, not even calling the police, McQueary said he did tell police on campus. Neither university police nor the State College PD had a record of his contact with them.
Later still, McQueary admitted under oath that he did not actually see Sandusky rape the 10-year-old boy but rather he heard ‘two or three’ slapping sounds and later saw Sandusky with his arms around the child’s waist and saw that the child’s hair “was wet.” Although he did not see any sexual contact of hands or genitals or any evidence of arousal, just from the positions of the bodies he knew it was ‘over the line’ and ‘extremely sexual’ and ‘some sort of intercourse’ was taking place.
The McQueary story, whether in 2001, 2002, or another year, and whether it was sodomy seen or only heard or something else, it not only ignited the prosecution of Sandusky, but also led to the firing of Joe Paterno, the Penn State football coach, the university’s athletic director, Tim Curley, vice president Gary Schultz, and Penn State President Graham Spanier – all accused of covering up the shower boy crime.
McQueary, an assistant coach paid a salary of $140,000 per year, had troubles of his own.
He was allegedly illegally betting on Penn State football games, and used a Penn State phone to text photos of his penis to various women who weren’t his wife. Oddly, one of the women McQueary allegedly sent photos of himself was Sandusky’s attorney’s wife.
Penn State Dispenses with Protocol in Settlement with Victims
Following the Sandusky conviction and million-dollar awards for nine brave survivors, about 30 other men claimed Sandusky also abused them as boys.
In addition to the $60 million in payouts to the victims who testified and the shower boy who hid, Penn State made $50 million more in payouts to victims who came forward after the conviction.
To show sensitivity for the survivors, Penn State dispensed with normal vetting of claims and paid victims based on their uncorroborated stories, largely related by their attorneys, who charged the victims nothing but a percentage of 33 to 50 percent of what the young men collected.
How Recovered Memories Worked So Well in the Case
It was recovered memories that enabled making millionaires of men who forgot Sandusky abused them. The process is illustrated by Dustin Struble (Victim #7).
At first, Struble said, “Jerry Sandusky, he has helped me understand so much about myself. He is such a kind and caring gentleman, and I will never forget him.”
He told the grand jury Sandusky never molested him.
Struble, possibly through a referral from the prosecutors, retained attorney Andrew Shubin.
Shubin arranged for Struble to see a psychotherapist, and after a dozen recovered memory sessions, Struble remembered Sandusky put his hands down his pants when they were riding in Sandusky’s car. And in a locker room shower, Sandusky grabbed him and pushed his front against his backside, touched the boy’s nipples, and blew on his stomach.
Asked why his story changed, Struble testified, “That doorway that I had closed has since been reopening more. More things have been coming back and things have changed since that grand jury testimony. Through counseling and different things, I can remember a lot more detail that I had pushed aside than I did at that point.”
Penn State paid Struble $3,250,000.
Fisher Had Trouble Remembering Then Speaking About It
The process also worked for Victim #1, Aaron Fisher.
Fisher saw psychotherapist Mike Gillum, who extracts true recollection by encouraging the patient to face some of the truth, then more, and eventually all of it.
The process is so nuanced that the victim, Fisher, did not have to actually say what happened.
Gillum would “peel the onion,” by guessing what he thought Sandusky did, and Fisher would nod his head or say “Yes” or “No.”
When Fisher finally began to remember, he was ready to be interviewed by police. Gillum accompanied him on every interview.
At first, Fisher was hesitant and partial in his explanations of abuse. Two grand juries refused to hand down an indictment against Sandusky.
Gillum said it took him six months to peel away enough onion layers for Fisher to nod his head or say “yes,” when asked if Sandusky forced oral sex upon him — a charge Fisher retracted in the first grand jury appearance.
By the time he got to trial, Fisher (as “Victim 1”) could clearly nod yes to the questions.
Just as Gillum would pose questions, and Fisher would simply say yes or no – at trial the prosecutor asked, “Did the defendant put his penis in your mouth more than twenty-five times over the course of 2007, 2008?”
Fisher replied, “It was — yeah.”
The prosecutor asked whether Aaron performed oral sex on Sandusky at least twenty-five times.
Again, Fisher was able to say, “yes.”
Fisher and his attorney Shubin settled his case for $7.5 million.
Sounds Legit
Gerald Arthur Sandusky, born January 26, 1944, will be 80 in a month. He has been in prison since 2012. I am told he is a man beloved at the State Correctional Institution – Laurel Highlands, where no one, including the guards, thinks he is a child molester.
But no one thought he was a child molester for 30 years until Mike McQueary saw (or heard) something in the showers and an attorney helped some men remember things they never imagined happened.
Most of the world believes Sandusky is guilty. For him not to be guilty means his conviction rivals, for instance, the McMartin Preschool trial, or the conviction of Robert Kelly, or the Amirault family, who were convicted first by the media, then by reckless prosecutors, and later released from prison after suffering for years.
I suppose it’s time to look into this. But before Dr. Crews sent me his email, like everyone else, I just assumed Sandusky was guilty. He may be guilty, but just now, I am not so sure.
Please leave a comment: Your opinion is important to us!
[…] ‘The Sandusky Case is Exactly Opposite to What the Public Believes’: The Case Against Jerry Sand… […]
mcqueary never said he saw rape. ever. i would encourage you to produce that evidence since you mentioned it in article.
Frank, excellent reporting. Please keep up the good work and tell the story of Jerry’s sham trial far and wide.
Every evening during Jerry’s trial upon arriving home I would turn on evening news and listen without judgement to the lurid allegations made in court that day. However, when the jury’s verdict was read on June 22, 2012, and Jerry was led from the courthouse, I read his expression and body language on a large-screen TV. Without benefit of my undergraduate degree in psychology and a lifetime of experience, I immediately knew that Jerry was innocent. In the following years I have studied many aspects of Jerry’s sham trial. The more that I learn—the rush to trial, prosecutorial misconduct, ineffective representation, doctoring of witnesses, incentivizing witness, the university’s rush to pay witnesses without scrutiny—the clearer it becomes that a good, kind-hearted man sits in jail.
Excellent article. This man is clearly innocent. A rushed trial with zero evidence is a scary proposition for everyone. The evidence is actually on his side. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out what went on here. Nothing happened, nothing happened, nothing happened then Boom! Hire a civil attorney and something happened.. after using repressed memory therapy, a science that has been debunked for years. The timelines are extremely important here. He needs a new trial and will win when he gets one.
Can that mind altering doctor make me forget? He made the rapable boys remember. Id like to remember my life before rape.
Sandusky is lucky to be alive. He deserves the death penalty.
Do some research . Stop being lazy
you know nothing about this man cause if you did you would not make that comment the evidence if you follow the men that have been checking on this case have proven otherwise. He is innocent and the justice system in Pa. is a scam
Could Dick Luthmann’s “memories” of rape be recovered BS?
LMAO!
LOL
Luthmann remembered he was raped after he pleaded guilty to multiple crimes. But he won’t name his rapists. Was it Sandusky?
LOL
never in a million years
The judge should have had all Sandusky’s victims rape him, so he knows the same pain they know.
you don’t do that to an innocent man put yourself in his position knowing you are innocent and the media blasts you as guilty before you even go to trial
Anyone present at the trial would have heard the lies that so many involved were caught in, yet nothing was done. So much was at stake, such a rush to judgement they couldn’t take it back. It would have made the governor and Penn State look terrible so they just pushed it forward.
Did you know that Sandusky didn’t even know all of those who have accused him? He literally didn’t even know some of them and that is a fact. It’s gut wrenching and hideous to those who have known an entire different side to this.
Thanks for writing this.
Sandusky was married you say. Well answer this – did his wife stick to him or bolt when she heard the allegations?
She is still with him. Goes to visit him every week and knows that he is innocent. They have been together for 57 years.
Factor in Ray Gricar, the Centre County DA (the county where PSU is located) that went missing under very mysterious circumstances, around that same time period. He still hasn’t been found.
Mr. Gricar evaluated and exonerated Mr. Sandusky his disappearance had nothing to do with the case.

NewsTimes UnionThree women accuse upstate Buddhist leader of rapeAn explosive lawsuit alleges a four-decade pattern of sexual assault by Lama Norlha, abetted by leaders of a Wappingers Falls monastery
By Phillip Pantuso, Dec 7, 2023

Random question.
Moira Kim Penza said in the HBO “The Vow” documentary that more arrests would come later down the line in the NXIVM case and right now they basically were just concerned with the bunch that they arrested and making it stick as quickly as possible so that they couldn’t weasel their way out of it like many times before.
Does anybody on here happen to be in the know in regards of what’s going on with that?
Are there going to be anymore arrests coming down the line or are they just content with whom they’ve already got and it’s done?
Seems to me that if no more arrests are coming that all of that cooperation of Lauren Salzman, Allison Mack, Mark Vicente, etc whistle blowing to law enforcement behind the scenes as well as on the stand in court is in vain.
Why would they want all that info of other people (and I’m not talking about info in regards to Keith Raniere or other people that were already arrested and put on trial) and all the naming names if they weren’t going to do anything else?
Sounds like a big waste of everybody’s time me (outside of the relevant information in regards to the ones that they already arrested and it helped convict of course).
Frank,
Do you mind giving me response about this please?
I do not think there will be any more arrests in connection to NXIVM
So why do you think Moira said that then in the docuseries on HBO?
Is there even a legal possibility that they can still arrest certain people now due to the statute of limitations and other things?
Frank,
Can you please answer?
Moira said this for HBO in 2020 – if there were gonna be more indictments it would have come by now. She left the DOJ in 2019.
So you don’t think that somebody else could take it on now? Perhaps maybe in the other district?
Ummmmmm.
Do you think that you could answer my questions there, bud?
I cannot even imagine how many times Sandusky has been ass-raped.
Pilgrim, I’d like you to consider investigating the possibility that Sandusky was railroaded into prison and may be innocent.

Thank you for writing this piece. When I came to realize Jerry was innocent it shook what little faith I had in the media and our justice system. Dottie and Jerry have handled this ordeal with extraordinary grace and dignity and they deserve our admiration and support.
ditto
Thanks for the article and letting people see what really took place. The lawyers, counselors, government and PSU all were in the wrong. Watch out you could be next.
RE This Story:
Pedophile cases are impossible to defend against.
It would be easier to defend someone who is accused murder.
Reading Frank’s story makes me feel this one is worth looking into.
In a case like this it’s not about finding evidence and leaving no stone unturned…..
It’s about developing sources and interviewing people.
Nobody is better than Frank at developing sources.
Frank’s Jerry’s best shot at a fair shake!
I just remembered Sandusky raped me 7!587 times locked in the trunk of his silver convertible over a 10 period.
What’s your address? Penn State will cut you a check.
That happened to me too. I forgot about it. I thought he locked me in the trunk because he thought I was luggage but Dr Quackamillion remembered it for me. Jerry climbed in the trunk soaped me up and raped me 246 times while his wife drove the silver convertible totally oblivious.
Interesting thing Jerry never had a silver convertible. Never had a convertible.
Funny that you say silver convertible because that’s what one “victim” said and Sandusky’s never owned, leased or rented a convertible…. Ever.
I don’t smell a rat. I smell a whole sewer full of rats.
Let’s be clear – when we say “the media” convicted Sandusky. It was ESPN that convicted him and mainstream media eventually followed. That was back when people still watched Sportscenter.
ESPN still wields massive power – see getting their SEC team in the CFP instead of undefeated FSU.
Sportscenter!?!?
LMAO @ U!!!
It was a show that talked about the sports news of the day. Sports is a thing where people compete – often some sort of ball is used in the competition.
ESPN Sportscaster is like
Sports illustrated so very 90s. You my fair friend are dating yourself.
I wager you are a Skip Bayless fan.
Oh whimper, whimper, whiner!
NutJob is not a bottom!
Jerry Sandusky is 100% innocent. Anyone who KNOWS this case knows he is innocent. Even Penn Staters actually believe he is guilty because they are misinformed/uninformed and thoroughly believe the courts “cannot get it wrong.” This is a total miscarriage of justice but people are too afraid to come forward because of the toxicity of the subject. And, of course, Pennsylvania judicial system would never admit to getting this wrong. The attorney general’s office and then-governor Corbett had everything to do with this travesty.
Asst. district attorney at the time, Jonelle Eschbach, told Mike McQueary not to say anything because it would ruin her case when he told her she was putting words in his mouth. FACT Those words he did NOT say stood in the presentment. FACT
Jerry is still fighting for another trial every day.
Please continue to investigate! You’re on the right track!
When you lay it out as you do the scam is so clear.
Yes. Frank explains it perfectly!
How can this be? I mean how can the system be so wrong? Frank must be wrong on his facts. The system might be needing repair but it is not broken. This kind of mistake would make me think any kind of injustice can happen. It can’t be.
this did happen and it is very scary that our justice system can do this to innocent people
Frank- I assume you’ll be connecting the dots of the political mechanisms that needed Paterno and Sandusky eliminated?
Any suggestions, Anonymous?
I don’t know the answer, but I know several people/organizations benefited from this.I’d guess it lined up and the thing just snowballed.
It certainly hurt that Penn State football boosters were looking for a way to get an aging legend to turn over the coaching reins. Paterno couldn’t be fired and he was not going to retire. Because of this dynamic, the football program didn’t have the support it typically would have had from the University and the big money backers of the program. Add backlash from a pouncing media, and nobody was willing to give any kind of support to Paterno or Sandusky.
There’s just one big dot to connect… disgraced and excessively vindictive former Governor Tom Corbett – he was publicly embarrassed by President Spanier in front of the legislature – and did everything in his power to satisfy his vindictiveness – to include hunting for fictitious “victims” – go to RalphCipriano.com, search “Penn State” where the entire case is chronicled
The latest DSM-V diagnosis:
RM syndrome.
Recover Memory = Recover Millions
They put out an advertisement and people with no scruples stepped forward to claim their millions.
Within a year of Franks reporting the public will have discovered his innocence.
Another tragic example of giving too much power to psychologists—
Because they say so it’s true – with zero tangible evidence.
So the genesis of an investigation that destroyed reputation and took the life of Joe Paterno, never existed. No record of any report.
As with Steve Pigeon they announce the alleged dirty deed as fact and they’re off –
So much is poked on quickly the damage can’t be undone.
“Did the defendant put his penis in your mouth more than twenty-five times over the course of 2007, 2008?”
Fisher replied, “It was — yeah.”
So he not only recovered the memory of the abuse, but with the specificity to recover 25 incidents.
The 2 officers/investigators (Leighter and Rossman) on the case accidentally tape recorded themselves telling Brett exactly what to say. Until their prompts he had said nothing happened. They played it at the trial. Both investigators were also caught lying on the stand, but who went to prison?
crazy
“ ] Mike McQueary, former Penn State graduate assistant football coach, testified that in 2001 in a Penn State locker room, he heard “skin on skin” slapping sounds coming from the showers.

Are you writing this Frank because you’re friend was just convicted of being a pedo?
My friend is innocent. I suspect Sandusky is innocent.
Bingo!
This article is a disgrace. There is no question JS was 100% guilty. The problem was the cover up by hundreds (maybe thousands) who went out of there way to make sure Joe Paterno was not involved in any way. This was one of the greatest cover ups in history.
Anyone with half a brain and the bare minimum research knows this man is innocent. There is zero evidence. In fact, the evidence is on his side. There was no cover up because there was nothing to cover up.
I too, would remember I was raped if offered millions of dollars
Crazy !
#metoo
Those prosecutors though, so slanted.
“Freeh’s team interviewed more than four hundred and thirty people and looked at three and a half million pieces of “electronic data and documents.”
https://www.newyorker.com/news/amy-davidson/the-person-involved-the-freeh-report-and-penn-states-shame
Freeh’s staff probably transferred the data and documents to computers. Algorithms calculate big numbers these days and law enforcement employees have all kinds of tools. A more relevant question might be: Why do we let some in control of the world solve some crimes and ignore other crimes?
Someone chose Freeh to run the Penn State investigation. Freeh ran an “Intelligence” office around the time of 911. Was 911 more political than technical, too?
Have American law enforcement employees ever investigated any American crimes committed in the Ukraine? Who put the “Metabiota” bioweapons labs there? Instead of investigating and solving what look like big crimes, Americans sent billions there to kill a few hundred thousand people. Maybe a few hundred or a few thousand were raped there, too. We need to step back and look at the bigger picture to figure out what’s
According to the Wall Street Journal:
Even before Babylon, criminal cases and most everything else was probably sometimes about power and control. Was there something about Penn State that rattled someone in control of some part of politics?
Was the Penn Sate case about politics? Who would benefit from taking down that school?
The Freeh report was commissioned by Penn State for $8 million or so. There’s a smoking gun document that says they did NOT interview Mike McQueary at the request of the prosecutors — page 12, paragraph 2 of the actual Freeh Report!
Louie Freeh was a Clinton appointed head of the FBI. He also recently made a donation to the Biden’s grandchildren’s trust fund.
Anyone know the name of that “recovered memory therapist”?
Listen to the episode “Secret Agent Man” of the Podcast “With the Benefit of Hindsight” where a fake accuser has these people outlining the scam on tape.
The “therapist” is Mike Gillium. Scum
Mike Gillum who also co-wrote Fisher’s book. SCUM
The Therapist was Cind McNabb from State College
The Therapist was Cindy McNabb who is in State College
Mike Gillum and/or Cindy McNabb?
Mike Gillum was Aaron Fischer’s therapist. Most of the others had Cindy McNabb. She even did group therapy with them.
Oh, you need to do Episode 14 to understand the therapy. AJ Dillion pretends to be a victim for 3 years and when he says he was actually never abused, she says “well, you saying you were not abused is evidence you were abused.” https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-fourteen-secret-agent-man/id1562078872?i=1000526052032
It’s all the attorneys. They are evil. The scams of our courts take down innocent people for the almighty dollar. They destroyed Joe Paterno, Sandusky, and the millions of devoted fans.
The truth will come out. Thank you FR for taking the time to investigate and bring truth to the public.
Whoa. How could this be ? Everyone knows Sandusky is stone cold guilty.
If Sandusky is innocent, the media murdered Joe Paterno.
Sandusky is innocent and the media is not alone in their crimes. Listen to John Ziegler’s podcast ‘with the benefit of hindsight’ for the full list of bad actors, which includes, sadly, the Pennsylvania State University.
I believe in Frank’s investigation!

Richard how many men want to hangout with other people’s kids?
Ask yourself!
Seriously!
Would you want to hangout with other people’s children?
Because what man does – ponder it.

Frank should investigate this story.
He walked the walk. Truly a Jeus like character and Allan Myers slaughtered him for $6.9 million dollars. Real life Judas. Read this summary of Sandusky. Saint! https://vault.si.com/vault/1999/12/20/last-call-jerry-sandusky-the-dean-of-linebacker-u-is-leaving-penn-state-after-32-years-to-devote-himself-to-a-different-kind-of-coaching
