The child traveled to and from both bowl games with the football team and shared their accommodations, the report said. The teen reportedly told the grand jury that when he resisted Sandusky's advances while on that trip, the coach threatened to send him back to Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania prosecutors allege that Sandusky molested at least eight boys between the mid-1990's and 2009, all of whom he met through The Second Mile a charity he founded in 1997.

  • 2011-12 Annual Report I
    VA SYL NI A N N C E O A P 2011-12 Annual Report L I A T I G O A N I N S T R A P E NIA VA CO L A Y L S A letter from our CEO I I’m proud to present to you the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape (PCAR)’s Annual Report for fiscal year 2011-12. The year provided an opportunity for our coalition to engage communities across Pennsylvania in a broader conversation about child sexual abuse. T In November 2011, the national spotlight focused on former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky who was facing multiple criminal charges related to accusations that he sexually abused 10 boys. In June N 2012, he was tried for 48 related charges and convicted on 45 counts. All eyes were on Pennsylvania. With that spotlight came increased attention to child sexual abuse—and sexual assault in general. I’m proud to say PCAR led the way in advocating for the rights of sexual assault victims and educating the public about sexual abuse. We fought to keep the names of the survivors who testified about Sandusky private I by filing an amicus curiae in conjunction with the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, the Victim Rights Law Center, the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence, The National Center for Victims of Crime and the National Crime Victim Law Institute. Members of our staff stayed on-site throughout the entire trial process, offering victim perspectives to members of the media and their audience, and combating claims by Sandusky’s attorneys through blog responses and N O national media releases.

  • Pennsylvania State University Sandusky Scandal Analysis Erin Gilbert De Paul University
    Running head: SANDUSKY SCANDAL ANALYSIS 1 Pennsylvania State University Sandusky Scandal Analysis Erin Gilbert De Paul University SANDUSKY SCANDAL 2 Pennsylvania State University Sandusky Scandal Analysis Introduction Looking at a crisis management case-study is much different than simply evaluating a previous public relations case for different aspects of the Potter Box Model. This case study took an in-depth look at how loyalties and values of public relations professionals can affect the decisions they make. In this analysis, I will be discussing the Sandusky Scandal at Pennsylvania State University and the problematic public relations decisions that were made immediately after the scandal became public. Facts of the Case On November 4, 2011, a Grand Jury in Pennsylvania issued a report which went into graphic detail about one of Pennsylvania State University's retired football coaches, Jerry Sandusky. The report was based on an investigation which had been taking place for more than two years, and ultimately described in graphic detail the criminally sexual behavior of Coach Sandusky with eight boys over the 15 years spanning 1994 to 2009. The report explained that at least three of the sexual encounters with underage boys happened on Pennsylvania State University grounds and two were witnessed by fellow employees. Jerry Sandusky was officially arrested for 21 felony counts of abusing children (Swann). The section of the report which detailed the encounters which were witnessed by other employees was highly speculative until the Grand Jury investigation. It was found out that in 1998 a mother called the high school that Sandusky volunteer-coached at claiming that the coach SANDUSKY SCANDAL 3 had bear-hugged her son in the showers.

  • The Betrayal of Joe Paterno: How It All Probably Happened
    The Betrayal of Joe Paterno: How It All Probably Happened Submitted by jzadmin on Wed, 07/10/2013 - 10:54 “A lie gets half way around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.” Winston Churchill "In the aftermath of the Freeh Report, the powers that be at present at Penn State should have the good graces to suspend the football program for at least a year, perhaps more.” Bob Costas, July 17th, 2012 “That doesn’t necessarily make sense.” Bob Costas, May 29th, 2013, on the underlying theory of the same Freeh Report A year ago this week the Freeh Report investigation of Penn State and Joe Paterno was released to great fanfare. Largely because of that report, most people seem to think they know the story of the Jerry Sandusky scandal. Almost all of them are at least somewhat mistaken, and most are very wrong about what actually happened. Amazingly, the average media person, because they have a stronger incentive to believe they didn’t blindly perpetrate a false narrative, appears to be even more in the dark than the typical American is about the real truth of this tragedy. After spending most of the past year and a half researching, pondering, and speaking to more people closer to the Jerry Sandusky case than likely anyone else in the world, even I am still not positive that I know exactly what really transpired in the so called “Penn State Scandal.” While I am quite certain that the largely accepted media storyline of some concerted “cover up” by Penn State of Sandusky’s crimes is false, I am somewhat convinced that we may never know for sure precisely what actually did occur.

  • Louis Freeh in Conjunction with Announcement of Publication of Report Regarding the Pennsylvania State University
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE REMARKS OF LOUIS FREEH IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANNOUNCEMENT OF PUBLICATION OF REPORT REGARDING THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY Philadelphia, PA, July 12, 2012 – Louis Freeh today issued prepared remarks in conjunction with today’s publication of his report of the investigation into the facts and circumstances of the actions of The Pennsylvania State University surrounding the child abuse committed by a former employee, Gerald A. Sandusky. Mr. Freeh will summarize these remarks during his press conference at 10 a.m. today. Mr. Freeh and his law firm, Freeh Sporkin & Sullivan, LLP, were retained in November 2011 on behalf of the Special Investigations Task Force of the Board of Trustees of The Pennsylvania State University to conduct the independent investigation. The full text of the remarks follows: I. Introduction Good Morning. We are here today because a terrible tragedy was allowed to occur over many years at Penn State University, one in which many children were repeatedly victimized and gravely harmed. Our hearts and prayers are with the many children – now young men – who were the victims of a now convicted serial pedophile. I want to remind everyone here, and those watching this press conference, of the need to report child sexual abuse to the authorities. In Pennsylvania you can report child sexual abuse to the Department of Public Welfare’s ChildLine. That number – which is on the screen before you – is (800) 932-0313. It is our hope that this report and subsequent actions by Penn State will help to bring every victim some relief and support. Penn State University is an outstanding educational institution, which is rightly proud of its students, alumni, faculty and staff, who, in turn, hold the institution in very high esteem.

  • Covering the Scandal in 140 Characters: a Case Study of Twitter’S Role in Coverage of the Penn State Saga
    International Journal of Sport Communication, 2012, 5, 384-402 © 2012 Human Kinetics, Inc. www.IJSC-Journal.com CASE STUDY Covering the Scandal in 140 Characters: A Case Study of Twitter’s Role in Coverage of the Penn State Saga Jimmy Sanderson Clemson University, USA Marion E. Hambrick University of Louisville, USA This case study explored how sports journalists used Twitter to cover allegations about former Penn State University assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky sexually abusing young boys. A content analysis of 1652 tweets from 151 sports journalists was conducted. Analysis revealed that sports journalists used Twitter in the following ways: a) offering commentary, b) breaking news, c) interactivity, d) linking to content, and e) promotion. The results suggest that Twitter serves as an additional venue for sports journalists to frame stories; however, their behav- ior in this venue blurs professional and personal boundaries as they mock fans and promote their competitors. The analysis further suggests that the immediacy with which news breaks on Twitter places sports journalists and sports media organizations into a dialectic between “being first” and “being accurate” when reporting news. Keywords: Twitter, sports journalism, social media On November 5, 2011, the sports world was rocked by news that former Pennsylvania State University (PSU) assistant football coach Gerald “Jerry” San- dusky was being charged with sexual abuse of minors. Testimony from a grand jury investigation revealed numerous accusations against Sandusky—specifically that he had molested 10 boys during a 15-year period—with some of the abuse alleged to have occurred at Penn State facilities (Chapell, 2011). One of the more prominent allegations involved assistant football coach Mike McQueary (then a graduate-assistant) who reported that in 2002 he personally witnessed Sandusky engage in sexual activity with a young boy in the football facility’s showers.
