“This may be the most high-profile sexual abuse case ever,” says Benjamin Andreozzi, a Harrisburg, Pa., lawyer who is representing at least one of the victims listed in grand jury filings. Adreozzi noted that once other potential victims see that they’re “not alone,” perhaps they’ll come forward, too.

“I think things are going to be fast and furious over the next weeks,” one attorney said.

It is going to be interesting following this, although I find stench of evil sickening, to see how successfully the cover-up is put into place and how many mid-level pervs will be sacrificed to protect the high level pervs. Subscribe to *US INDUSTRIAL WAR MACHINE* Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top Page Up Full Thread Page Down Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 45.

unfortunately because this is in the news, that's the first thing most people will think of when Penn State is your alma mater. however, this is not fair to alumni, professors, employees outside of the football program, current students, etc who had nothing whatsoever to do with this sin. this guilt by association is bullshit. and i have to disagree with you in regard to their playing football. a clean sweep of the perps is all that is warranted, imo.
It will be interesting to see how many are left standing after the smoke clears. They may not have much of a football program left anyway. There may not be much of a university left either. That is not including what happens to those outside of Pedo State. That is where it will get interesting, imo.

I disagree with you there. Their "insulation" depends on the cooperation of other criminals. Mob bosses can't count on that, and neither can pedophiles. It depends on who is investigating it. I don't know who the good guys are in this.

That judge will have to answer for this. He should have recused himself. They will definitely try and cover up as much as possible. But this judge was sloppy. They may not have had time to properly set up a cover-up. If that is the case, they will be tripping all over each other. It all depends on who is investigating this. Which agencies are doing it? That's not rhetorical. I don't know who is investigating this. Think back to watergate. This is where I think it's going. It may be that big. And that coverup failed.
