Doe 150 also claimed he told “several coaches”, none of whom acted immediately on the incident.

The documents are part of Penn State’s suit against an insurance company over payments of claims for abuse by Sandusky, who is serving decades in prison for child abuse.
“That Penn State chose to settle claims without fully assessing the underlying facts is something that the university obviously felt they had to do to help resolve this matter”, he wrote.
Following Tuesday’s news of the documents made public, many addressed the incident, including Penn State President Eric Barron. He was sacked in November 2011, and died two months later after complications from lung cancer.
Meanwhile, Sandusky is attempting to appeal his own conviction.
According to testimony delivered in an insurance lawsuit, a man said under oath in 2014 that when he was attending a Penn State football camp 40 years ago when he was 14 years old, Sandusky touched him in a way that was, to say the least, inappropriate. “I don’t want to hear about any of that kind of stuff”, Paterno allegedly told the boy.
“I was shocked, disappointed, offended”, John Doe 150 said of Paterno’s reaction.
“Because of the situation being what it is, I’m not even going to get into it”, he said. “I said, ‘Is that all you’re going to do?”‘
Penn State trustee Anthony Lubrano, another Paterno supporter, said the documents change “nothing”.
Paterno’s family continues to vigorously deny the attacks. McQueary also said that Bradley told him that Greg Schiano, in the ’90s, saw Sandusky in the shower with a boy. This incident was witnessed by another Penn State assistant football coach, Joe Sarra, according to John Doe 75’s version of events.
College football fans and power brokers, as this horrifying scandal has proven for four and a half years, are not normal people. Doe 150 speculated that other campers had heard him.
“Did Mr. O’Dea say anything when he came in and saw that?” his lawyer asked.
It was Bradley, after all, that led Penn State as the interim head coach as the scandal unfolded during the 2011 season.
Your teams on the go or at home. John Doe 101 said he was only in his underwear at the time.
The deposition was among records unsealed in an legal fight between Penn State and its insurer, Pennsylvania Manufacturers Association Insurance Co, over who should bear the costs of the claims linked to Sandusky. Sandusky retired in 1999, but maintained access to the campus and athletic facilities. Therefore, instances of Sandusky’s alleged abuse that were witnessed by school employees (coaches) but not reported should take PMA off the hook for helping Penn State with the financials of the settlements.
Another deposition included is from Mike McQueary, former Penn State assistant coach turned key witness in Sandusky’s trial.
Paterno, however, brushed off the complaints, which explicitly stated that Sandusky had sexually assaulted him, the man testified.

McQueary testified that Bradley told him Schiano “had come into his office white as a ghost and said he just saw Jerry doing something to a boy in the shower”.
