A YouTube channel called WorldSportsDocu has just released a 30-minute documentary on the Jerry Sandusky scandal at Penn State. It’s called “The Dark Side of Penn State.”
As you begin watching, you may think it is just another regurgitation of the biased and scandalized media accounts that have populated the mainstream airwaves and promoted Sandusky’s guilt, but halfway through the video, the filmmaker – who is also presumably the narrator – departs from the mainstream narrative and hones in on a few important and damning facts about the accusers.
FR readers will already be familiar with most of the information that’s presented in the film, but it does a commendable job telling the story visually and selecting notable facts that inspire doubt in anyone who hasn’t studied what actually happened.
Most of the evidence presented in the second half appears to be taken from John Ziegler’s website, framingjoepaterno.com, and his podcast, With the Benefit of Hindsight.
Beyond challenging Aaron Fisher’s credibility as an individual and alleged victim, the narrator points out the impossibility Fisher’s story considering he claimed to be at Jerry’s every weekend… with no other kids. Strangely, however, Victim #9, Sabastian Paden, also claimed to be at Jerry’s house every weekend during the same time period, yet they never met.
Narrator: “After staying there for three years, [Fisher] should have at least one friend. He does have one friend, or should have had, because there is this one other boy who stayed at the same place where Aaron stayed in Jerry Sandusky’s house, more specifically, in the same basement, same bedroom and on the same bed. Aaron previously stated he stayed at Sandusky’s house every weekend, from 2005 to 2008 and the other boy, he said the exact same thing.”
The film also delves into Mike McQueary’s role, his changing timeline, and the many holes in his “shower boy” story, not the least of which is the shower boy himself denying the claims outright.
Excerpts from “shower boy,” Allan Myers’ statement to Joe Amendola, Sandusky’s attorney, before trial:
Narrator: “If we were to take it as truth, then Mike McQueary put an innocent man and legendary coach into prison. According to this next excerpt, upon the advice of his father and Dr. Dranov, Mike McQueary eventually took his concerns to legendary head coach, Joe Paterno at his home. Apparently, because Mike McQueary did not actually witness anything sexual, they did not suggest he contact the police, nor did they feel called upon to do so. Again, if that excerpt is true, then maybe the students were right to be upset. A beloved legend that belonged to their school was thrown to prison, left to die. These two men [Fisher and McQueary], as John Ziegler had said, were the pillars of convicting Jerry Sandusky, as they were the major events that brought this case to light.”
The narrator concludes the film by saying: “This story is one for the ages, but we’ll never know what truly happened. This video aims to present both sides, but the third side, that’s a mystery.”

Dear Readers
I’ve received a number of letters regarding the complex and deeply troubling case of Jerry Sandusky, and the commentary surrounding it, particularly the views expressed by individuals like John Ziegler. It’s a situation that demands careful consideration, and above all, unwavering support for survivors of child sexual abuse.
Mr. Ziegler’s perspective, as presented in the media, challenges the established narrative of the Sandusky case. He raises questions and presents arguments that contradict the legal outcomes and the experiences of the victims. However, it is essential to remember that:
Jerry Sandusky is a fag rapist. He should have gotten the death penalty.
His physical condition rendered him incapable of at least half the acts of which he was convicted. The prosecutors did not know that at the time of the trial. Neither did you. In other words, neither they–nor you–know what you’re talking about.
You must be one of the ones that got so much money from this Penn State scandal
Howard Stern wants him castrated. https://youtu.be/7daTQHsahc0?si=uT3iEEd2Y0WV5ig7
They wonder why we Second Milers gave Sandusky a landslide “conviction”.
We are just tired of crazy people quite frankly @realfrankreport
We know why. To virtue signal.
I think it’s safe to say now …
THE KRAKEN HAS BEEN RELEASED !!!
What are you afraid of the truth
I live in PA and agree, without reservation or doubt, with you. I happen to live in an area where the Speaker of the PA House at the time, Kerry Benninghoff, and the leader of the PA Senate at the time, Jake Corman, were my rep and Senator. Useless mouth breathing, finger sniffing RINOs.
They should never be able to do it again and the only way to ensure this is to show them that they will not go unpunished.
As Janine says, “ this case isn’t tough to figure out at all!” Never was tough however its not how certain people needed the story to be told and so we were manipulated by the same press that fawned all over Kamala Harris is presenting a narrative that she was ready to lead our country. Are you kidding me? Should I not bring politics into the Sandusky case? Way too late as the governor of the Commonwealth already did that which landed several innocent men in prison, and the least guilty is still there.
The public is self absorbed. How do you make one care enough to take action?
And what action can people take who do believe in Jerry’s innocence?
Is it a gofundme? Change.com? What avenue can be taken to help Frank Report and others force the change that needs to come for Jerry to be vindicated?
You bring up an interesting topic of how do we get more involved. First, I would get out from behind the “anonymous” label and use your name like Frank and I do. Second, my wife and I, mostly my wife, set up a website called justiceforjerry where people can see a link to donate to Jerry’s defense fund which I’m sure you can imagine is quite sizable. We just have not seen many people come out in open support of Jerry and say “enough is enough!”
The least guilty is in prison . Well said . How can this be and injustice continue for so long ?
