Alleged victims of former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky are working with at least two legal teams to prepare civil lawsuits against the university—seeking damages from the university over administrators’ failure to take action.
“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.
Poster Comment:
This is one reason Pedd State is pouring on the coals to keep as much of this covered up as possible. The potential here is that it could cost the university hundreds of millions in damages both real and punitive. It is a foregone conclusion that "The Second (s)Mile Foundation" is toast. They will be sued out of existence and no one is going to donate to a known pedophile front organization.

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.
And while it may well be unfair the stench will attach itself to every PSU graduate - to the point that they will begin not saying where they went to school. The only way Pedd State returns to being Penn State is if everything is rooted out and there are more than just show trials of a few scapegoats sacrificed to take the heat off. As long as there is even the shadow of a doubt that all has not been fully aired, traced back, and prosecuted some shadow will remain upon ALL Pedd State graduates. So, is in the interest of the good people associated with the university to roll up there sleeves and get involved so that the malefactors in the background are not allowed to cover their trail.

when that includes the state elites, which i believe it does, is that possible? we know for a fact that this is business as usual in DC. do we the people do anything about it?
TPTB in Pa. already have the people in place to limit the damage and protect prospective perps. I'm seeing lots of conflict of interest, starting with the judge who set Sandusky's low bond.

Ped State officials have cheapened their diplomas.
