Pennsylvania State University longtime football head coach Joe Paterno, fired President Graham Spanier and other officials failed to protect children from sexual abuse by former coach Jerry Sandusky, according to a report by investigator Louis Freeh.
“Our most saddening and sobering finding is the total disregard for the safety and welfare of Sandusky’s child victims by the most senior leaders at Penn State,” Freeh said yesterday during a press conference concluding a seven-month probe. “The most powerful men at Penn State failed to take any steps for 14 years to protect the children who Sandusky victimized.”
