Jeff Byers Radio Show: Parlato Roasts Sandusky Accusers and Two Penn State Trustees Who Refuse To Examine Evidence of Innocence

Frank Parlato appeared on 98.7 The Fox radio show, with hosts Scott Geesey and Jeff Byers on May 7, 2024.  The interview featured an in-your-face Parlato chastising the accusers of Jerry Sandusky and two Penn State Board of Trustees for refusing to even look at the evidence of Sandusky’s innocence.

Jeff Byers:

We are joined via the phone line by Frank Parlato, frankreport.com. And, Frank, first of all, thank you once again for taking the time this morning. We appreciate it.

Frank Parlato:

It’s my great pleasure. Thank you for having me.

Jeff Byers:

Frank, there’s a bunch of different things I want to touch on. Just in case somebody is tuning in for the first time, doesn’t know anything about you, just give a little bit of your background, and then I want to share what I think is an amusing story on some of your reporting, which falls in line with what some folks were saying about John Ziegler. And it falls well short of what I think the intention is of the writer, but just give us a little bit of your background here and, again, maybe touch on how you got involved in investigating this Jerry Sandusky saga.

Frank Parlato:

Well, I’ve observed in life that the voice of the majority, particularly with the media, is often wrong. In fact, maybe that’s why we live in such a chaotic world is that the majority echoes each other’s chorus. And so I got into trying to develop thoughts, stories, and ideas that I thought the mainstream media was missing. I’ve had a little success at it over the years, and I publish a number of websites, including the Frank Report, which is a popular website that is a media-recognized platform by Google and others.

And a few months back, I ran into the bizarre and preposterous notion provided to me by an old college professor by the name of Frederick Crews, that Jerry Sandusky was not, as every one of the media and most of the nation believe, guilty. And I began to investigate this preposterous notion that Jerry Sandusky was indeed not guilty, and what I found, to my delight and surprise and also chagrin, because, once again, the media got it wrong,

Jerry Sandusky is indeed innocent. Not only did the media get it wrong, but the courts got it wrong, and that was deliberate. And the simple story was that eight perjurers, maybe nine if you count Mike McQueary, came to court and lied and made a lot of money by condemning an innocent man.

Jeff Byers:

Now, I saw somebody, and I think it was an anonymous poster again, who’s like, “Well, here we go again. All these people are just trying to cover up to protect Penn State football.” Why would you do that?” Your association, Frank, with Penn State football is, again, what?

Frank Parlato:

I have no association. I’ve never seen a Penn State football game. I have a rough idea that there are 11 or 12 men on each side that chase around a pigskin.

Jeff Byers:

Yeah, and John Ziegler, let the record show again, had zero association with Penn State. Why these people, these two individuals in particular, Frank Parlato and John Ziegler, who have zero association with Penn State football, would work to protect Penn State football is … I’ve just never seen anybody explain why that could possibly be. So, it’s just absurd at face value, but it still gets peddled out there, and there’s a lot of stuff that gets peddled out there that, again, makes no sense, including a lot of stuff about this case.

That being said, Frank, where are we at now? And then, I want to go to what happened with the Penn State Board of Trustees meeting on Friday, and I want to play devil’s advocate a little bit there with you.

But where are we at right now to get the right people to hear and understand that Jerry Sandusky is, in fact, an innocent man?

Frank Parlato:

The progress is ongoing, and the most important thing was to try to reduce a mountain of injustice into a digestible form where anyone with an IQ of even 40 could see that Jerry Sandusky is innocent, that he was railroaded by a combination of liars and ambitious people, people who were reckless of the truth, and it was not a concerted type of conspiracy. It was a bunch of people who each had their own agenda, money, or name, or fame, or prosecutors who wanted to have a notch on their belt, a famous big case.

And each of them combined and created a travesty of justice. And now, people 12 years later can understand this, as it’s all put into perspective. Sometimes, time is needed with these great injustices. It took, I think, about 300 years for the state of Massachusetts to finally apologize for burning witches, and I hope we can do this a little quicker this time.

Jeff Byers:

It would be nice. As far as the latest developments in the case, do you want to update us on what happened here with Aaron Fisher and where we’re at with his role, which was pretty integral in the case against Sandusky?

Frank Parlato:

Aaron Fisher was, in a way, the father of this case. His lies created the opportunity for another group of liars to all make millions of dollars. Curiously, most of them have squandered their money. I think Collodi said, “Stolen fruit never fructifies.”

And I think it’s true in this case that these men have wrecks of a life. They have ruined themselves. One could argue they were losers, reprobates, and degraded people before they came and told their lies, but time has done nothing to improve their character. And in fact, putting an innocent man in prison, such as they have done, has only created greater catastrophes in their life.

Aaron Fisher, for example, the father of the Sandusky case, a teenage boy who didn’t want to fulfill his obligations to the Second Mile, made some excuses.

He never thought his mother, and his quack therapist, would turn this into a monstrosity.

He recently was stabbed. He just got arrested for drunk driving. He leaves his mother dead broke, living on a hill. I think he’s probably squandered his money.

The accusers are a group of reprobates who made millions for lying about Jerry Sandusky, a completely innocent man.

Jeff Byers:

Yeah. Honestly, as I read through some stories about these individuals.

While I agree, the reprobates were a big part of a miscarriage of justice against Jerry Sandusky, I, honest to God, cannot help but feel badly for them.

I can’t imagine living the lives they’re leading. I mean, it is a tragedy. It really is. We’re all given that gift of one opportunity here, and to see how most of these guys spend their time, including Allan Myers. And Frank, I have been saying from the first time that John Ziegler and I talked about how to try to get this injustice rectified.

I really thought Allan Myers was going to be the key, and that this would eat him up so much inside, because I believe he knows what a good person Jerry Sandusky is, how much good he has done, and that this is, in fact, a miscarriage of justice.

But in talking with you and a few other folks, it sounds like Allan is at a point where he is not coherent, and I am not saying that lightly.

Frank Parlato:

I think if you lined up all the bottles of alcohol that Allan Myers has consumed to try to drown out his guilt for betraying a man who did nothing but help him, I think it would line up from Penn State all the way to California. And this man has tried to escape the truth. I don’t know if he can ever recover. I think he’d have to sober up for a while.

All these accusers are either drinking, taking drugs, trying to forget through some sort of deviancy, or gambling their money away because “stolen fruit never fructifies.” It never grows sweet. And you’re going to have all this stolen fruit, but it’s not going to feed you well. That’s the case here.

Jeff Byers:

Frank, to those that would say, “Listen, Frank, yes, they’ve turned to all these vices because of what Jerry Sandusky did to them. Jerry ruined their lives, and that’s why they’re on the path they’re on.” You would say what?

Frank Parlato:

I would say $110 million couldn’t cure them? Each of these scoundrels got millions of dollars. They had all the therapy in the world, quack therapy. And if they were really victims, they would do something to help other victims. They could heal themselves. Victims of abuse can be healed with the effort to come forward bravely and tell their story. But what these men did to themselves is mark themselves with the badge of permanent cowardice, and they have only one chance to remedy themselves.

I’ve asked them to debate, and I’ve asked them to debate on your show. Not one of these cowardly dogs has come forward.

But there is a salvation for them, and that is to confess what they have done. They’ve put an innocent man in prison, and the only salvation, the only hope they’ll ever have for happiness in life, is to confess what they’ve done. They lied to put a man in prison. They knew they lied, and they went in under the guidance of the suborners of perjury, the prosecutors. They testified Jerry abused him when he did not. They know it, and their conscience knows it.

Jeff Byers:

Frank, what is the next step in the process here in the attempt to get Jerry Sandusky free and to get, again, what I full-heartedly believe is the truth, out there?

Frank Parlato:

Well, let me ask you a question, Jeff, if I may. We put out an offer a few weeks ago. You were gracious enough to even provide your own phone number, your cell phone number, to allow people that I challenged to debate: all the accusers, the prosecutors, the judge, all these civil lawyers. I was just wondering if anyone accepted my offer to debate. Did anybody call you?

Jeff Byers:

None of the accusers, none of the lawyers did. We had the one individual who did reach out to me and said that he knows that Jerry Sandusky was involved. But then I’ve read and watched a couple of interviews that he’s conducted and by his own admission, he never actually saw Jerry Sandusky abuse anybody, and Jerry never abused him, even though he was around. This individual was around other folks who, I think, did horrible things to him.

Frank Parlato:

Well, yes, we’re referring to Greg Bucceroni. I interviewed Greg at length because if he had some information about Jerry that would point towards something that I didn’t think was the case, I wanted to know it. I’m interested in the truth. After an extensive video-recorded interview with Bucceroni, I determined and he admitted, Jerry Sandusky never abused him, never even asked to abuse him, never even tried to abuse him. He had no contact whatsoever with Sandusky, other than he met him once at a Second Mile function. And the whole claim of Jerry being connected was that apparently, at one of these Second Mile charity functions, there was a man by the name of Eddie Savitz there who happened to know Bucceroni.

Jeff Byers:

When I read through what Bucceroni told me that he knew that Sandusky was involved with pedophilia, and again, I watched a few interviews with him. Even in reading through what he wrote to me, it’s like, well… and I don’t know. Frank, I can see why he thinks he knows that. I cannot imagine, because I think he went through hell as a kid. I mean, we have got to end pedophilia. We have to do a better job. And I think we are. And I think, fortunately, I guess maybe one of the good things to come out of the Sandusky case is that we have better protocols in place, better awareness of what to look for in real pedophiles. And ironically, if you do that comparison of, all right, this is what pedophiles do and what Jerry Sandusky did, boy, there are a lot of differences.

But anyways, you were talking about Eddie Savitz and some of the others involved in real pedophilia in the Philadelphia area.

Frank Parlato:

Well, I think it’s important to clarify that Greg never saw or was never abused by Jerry Sandusky. He was, he says, abused by Eddie Savitz, a notorious pedophile who died in prison. And it was established, I think beyond a reasonable doubt, that Eddie was a pedophile. And the sum total of evidence he has against Jerry Sandusky was that Eddie apparently attended a Second Mile charity event, and Savitz brought this boy (Bucceroni) with him, and that is it. That’s the evidence. And that Jerry said hello to him. And I don’t think you can conclude that just because Eddie Savitz, who might’ve been there to try to find boys to molest, came to a charity function where there were 100 people. Jerry was busy, by Greg’s own admission, shaking hands and talking to people. He didn’t spend any time with Eddie Savitz or Bucceroni And that isn’t enough evidence in my book that Jerry is a pedophile, because he ran a charity to help young people out, and a molester happened to come around.

Jeff Byers:

Let’s go to the Board of Trustees meeting on Friday, Frank. Let’s start with the letter you wrote to the trustees, and why you wrote that letter. And maybe for the folks who aren’t aware of the letter, what was stated in the letter and what you were hoping would be the outcome of sending that letter to each member of the Board of Trustees at Penn State.

Frank Parlato:

I wrote a letter. It was signed not only by me, but also by 65 other people, most of whom are distinguished people, Penn State graduates, Penn State teachers, professors. One was the head of the university press for 20 years. John Ziegler, the great investigative reporter, signed it. Tony Farina, another investigative reporter. We have doctors. We have lawyers. All of these people have taken a few minutes to study the evidence. And anyone who studies the evidence will quickly realize Jerry Sandusky was railroaded into prison by this group of connivers.

I sent the letter, basically, which explained that I have evidence that will show anyone who cares to look that Jerry Sandusky is innocent. And because Penn State boasts it is an institute of higher learning, and because Penn State was instrumental in railroading Jerry Sandusky, I thought it would behoove the Board of Trustees to look at this evidence. I asked their permission to submit evidence of Jerry Sandusky’s innocence, so they could look at this and acknowledge that this institute of higher learning railroaded a man into prison, and maybe it’s time to undo their crime against this innocent man.

Jeff Byers:

From a legal perspective, even if the Board of Trustees said, “Yep, you know what? We take a vote. We agree Jerry Sandusky was innocent, and it was a travesty what occurred,” the legal impact there is what?

Frank Parlato:

It’d be enormous, because the legal industry is very much wagged by the tail called the media, and the media drove Jerry into prison. And I believe it’s the media that has a responsibility to get him out. The various culprits who railroaded an innocent man have a responsibility, and Penn State is one of the culprits. They threw Jerry and Joe Paterno under the bus. They did not provide him with the presumption of innocence. And by firing Paterno, by presuming Jerry was guilty before a jury heard any evidence, by hiring a true gadfly, an incompetent prosecutor in his day, a man named Louis Freeh, former head of the FBI, by paying him money to betray their university.

The poser Louis Freeh scored $8.3 million for a heap of bovine manure he called the Freeh Report.

These were the acts of cowardice and dishonesty that an institute of higher learning should not be guilty of. And they confessed to guilt that wasn’t theirs 12 years ago. Now they need to confess, the state, the university has to confess that they had a major hand in putting an innocent man in prison, and but for them, Jerry wouldn’t be in prison.

It’s no institute of higher learning if it doesn’t learn higher things. And the higher thing this board has yet to learn is that truth trumps political opportunism. Truth trumps fundraising and enrollment. I want the Board of Trustees to look at this evidence. Some trustees, I believe, are willing, but there are two who represent the faction that we must keep Jerry in prison. We must keep him silent until he dies, and then we’ll get past this. And these two board members conspired to shut down my letter and not let it be heard, because one of the trustees, Anthony Lubrano, a brave and fearless individual, wanted to bring this up before the board under the category of new business. And the chairman and his henchwoman shut it down by making a motion to adjourn before Lubrano could get the floor.

Jeff Byers:

To your knowledge, Frank, that is permissible, though, within the board? I don’t know what the rules are. I know there’s been some questions regarding the Sunshine Laws with the board. I truly don’t know the answer here. Is the board under any obligation to hear new business if it’s on the agenda? Do you know that?

Frank Parlato:

I do know that a board member has the right to take the floor and offer new business, usually at the end of the board meeting. And what happened was new business, it was time for new business to be discussed, and they conspired. These two characters conspired to close the meeting by asking for a motion to adjourn, which was offered and seconded at lightning speed. Before Lubrano could raise his hand to say, “I have some new business,” they adjourned the meeting. And not only did they adjourn it, they knew Lubrano was going to present this information, and they said, “We can’t let this trustee have the floor. We can’t let him speak.”

So, I think it’s unethical. It may be illegal. It may be some category of conspiracy. I don’t know. I’m not saying it’s criminal. It’s certainly unethical, and I don’t think you can suppress it for long. It’s going to get out that they don’t want this truth.

Jeff Byers:

Have you heard, Frank, from any board members in response to your letter?

Frank Parlato:

Yes. And some apparently are willing to consider that their previous board made an egregious mistake and unnecessarily tarnished Penn State 12 years ago by admitting to falsehoods, by believing a liar by the name of Mike McQueary, and a dishonest prosecutor by the name of Jonelle Esbach, who each, with their own lies, created a false narrative about Jerry in a shower that never happened.

Scott Geesey:

Frank, this is Scott Geesey. The last couple of times you’ve been on the show, by dumb luck, I was away both days. So, I’ve been listening from afar on this. Have you contacted anybody else? And I’m thinking the current Pennsylvania Attorney General, or the Center County district attorney, or elected officials, and in other words, I guess a level, if you will, higher than Penn State. Have you sent your letter or contacted anybody else with the information, and so on, that you’ve uncovered in your investigative reporting?

Frank Parlato:

I have waited for that day, which is coming shortly as I prepare what I believe is the most dispositive evidence package ever presented relative to Jerry Sandusky’s innocence. I offered to share it with the Penn State Trustees first for one good reason. I wanted to give them the opportunity to do the right thing. I don’t know if they’ll do that. It doesn’t matter if they do it or not. This evidence is so compelling. The evidence of Jerry Sandusky’s innocence is so astoundingly compelling, and so evident that it will be irresistible.

It’s going to fall on society like a bombshell. And then they’re going to realize, everyone, that it’s possible in our society to lynch a man, rush to judgment, pick out a witch and burn a witch at a stake before you bother to look at all the evidence.

The answer to your question, Scott, is that I have this package in preparation right now. It’s almost complete, and what it shows will be jaw-dropping for even someone who doesn’t care. And this package I wanted to offer to Penn State, I wanted to offer it to them first, so they could get in front of this, instead of being embarrassed by the tomfoolery of the chairman and his henchwoman trying to block the truth. That’s not higher learning.

Jeff Byers:

Frank, I just want to make sure we’re clear. What you asked for with the letter is just the opportunity to address the board and present the evidence you’ve compiled. Do I have that right?

Frank Parlato:

That is correct. I didn’t ask them for a judgment. We asked them to study as evidence. I wanted to provide them this evidence by the next board meeting, which will help them get in front of the undeniable truth, which will hit the nation shortly. And when you look at this evidence and how it’s put together, it’s dispositive. It’s not debatable. There’s no possibility that he got a fair trial, and it’s clear and unequivocal that these accusers all lied. There’s no possibility you can say he’s guilty. I wanted to give Penn State that chance not to embarrass themselves a second time, like they did 11, 12 years ago, and get in front of it. And two board members conspired to shut this down.

Jeff Byers:

Frank, as always, we appreciate the time. We will certainly stay in touch, appreciate all the work you are doing to get the truth out there, and we can’t thank you enough. Appreciate the time again this morning, Frank.

Frank Parlato:

It’s my pleasure, Scott, Jeff, thank you much for having me on your show.

Scott Geesey:

Thank you.

Jeff Byers:

It is Frank Parlato. You can see a compilation of all his work, not just on the Sandusky case, but also on other cases, frankreport.com, frankreport.com. We’re back with one final segment here on a Tuesday after this commercial timeout.
