Court documents: Paterno ignored claims of Sandusky’s abuse in 1976

“In response to media reports from earlier today”, Schiano said on the social media site. Schiano was a graduate assistant and defensive backs coach for the Nittany Lions from 1990 to 1995.

Among those are current coaches Tom Bradley of UCLA and Greg Schiano of Ohio State.

In the last interview before his death, former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno told the Post’s Sally Jenkins he had no knowledge of accusations of child molestation involving former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. The existence of the testimony was made public in May, but the details weren’t released until Tuesday.

Sandusky, who worked under Paterno for thirty years, was convicted in 2012 on charges that he sexually abused 10 boys between 1994 and 2008.

Meanwhile, Sandusky is attempting to appeal his own conviction.

Doe alleged Paterno said nothing more and walked away while the man was left feeling “shocked, disappointed and offended”, according to the documents.

“Because of the situation being what it is, I’m not even going to get into it”, he said. “You’re not going to do anything else?”

The man claimed Paterno responded, “I don’t want to hear about any of that kind of stuff”.

The man testified he never told law enforcement or his family about the incident.

In a statement released through his representative Brett Senior, Bradley denied the allegations.

“The overwhelming evidence confirms that Joe Paterno never engaged in a cover up of Jerry Sandusky’s crimes”.

“He said he told several adults about it, then sought out Paterno”. He died on January 22, 2012 at age 85.

Sandusky often met his victims through a football program he ran, The Second Mile, for underprivileged youth. “I was insulted”, John Doe 150 testified.

John Doe 101 said that Sandusky would frequently change what he was doing when he heard the push button entry to the room being activated to make it appear they were wrestling.

The testimony came from former Penn State assistant coach Mike McQueary, a key figure in the Sandusky trial. But the one coach the man named said he wasn’t working there at the time.

“I think it’s a good time for the entire country to do some soul-searching – not just Penn State”. Gricar mysteriously disappeared in 2005.

Sandusky’s lawyer has denied the allegations. Risk management expert Raymond Williams, in a report obtained by PennLive, has pointed to six separate occasions in which Penn State should have reported Sandusky’s behavior.

In McQueary’s testimony, he said Bradley had spoke of the incident in the 1990s which Schiano had witnessed and another in the 1980s in which was witnessed by an unnamed assistant.

“I don’t know. I don’t remember, and I could not honestly say I heard a rumor”, Paterno testified.

The newly unsealed documents also provide additional information about 1987 and 1988 encounters accusers say were witnessed by coaching staff.

At that time, Bradley was the team’s outside linebackers and special teams coach, making he and Schiano peers. “But I don’t believe I ever saw any, just, coaches bringing random children in and showering with them”.
