Joe Paterno, Penn State head coach, was fired and died of cancer shortly after. The University President, Graham B. Spanier, was also dismissed. Apparently, they were both alerted of at least one of Sandusky's incidents and failed to take the necessary steps against him. He claims he mentioned it to athletic director, Tim Curley, who failed to report the incident and was also arrested and charged.
Many of the victims spoke out against Sandusky during his trial, admitting that Sandusky has violated them, made sexual advancements both in the shower on Penn State campus, and in Sandusky's home. He was also accused of writing them "creepy letters," which Sandusky says were just to keep up with them. Sandusky's lawyer, Joseph Amendola, repeatedly questioned the victims, and asked if anyone had witnessed the "uncomfortable situations with Sandusky in the shower." Several witnesses said yes and shared their story. Why were these incidents not reported and brought to attention then?
Jerry Sandusky's wife, Dorothy Sandusky, when asked if she had "ever seen inappropriate contact between her husband and the many young boys," said that the only thing she recalls in one of the boys being overly affectionate with her husband (yeah right!!).
“They can take away my life, they can make me out as a monster, they can treat me as a monster, but they can’t take away my heart. In my heart, I know I did not do these alleged, disgusting acts. My wife has been my only sex partner and that was after marriage.”
“I didn’t say he would put them to bed,” Mrs. Sandusky said firmly. “He would go down and tell them good night.”
