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.

I re-posted the article and the above comment was on Phant2000's posting of the story. I reposted for two reasons: 1. This may be the most instructive part of the unraveling of this mess. 2. I like using the term Pedd State. (I'm a bad boy.) deleted
The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one. None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. This is going to be interesting to follow. As you say this has sweeping ramifications far beyond catching and neutering the actual pervs. This was a systemic breakdown and a window into a world most people have been conditioned to ignore because it is all "just a big Conspiracy Theory. Uh, folks, you lurkers and drift by readers, this is not a (((((shudder))))) Conspiracy Theory it is the REAL world in which you live. As long as you allow the chains and shackles of the mind planted by Tee Bee Infotainment (a.k.a. "The News") to limit your view of the world you will continue to live in a fantasy constructed for you by some very well trained Psychiatrists and Psychologists to keep you enslaved, and we are approaching the time when the elites will no longer bother to keep it secret. Pedophile operations such as the one at Pedd State do not operate for over a decade without high level support and cover. The last thing the "learning centre" is in need of is locker areas, and showers. It is vital to understand that there is no truth without discernment and no wisdom without the truth. What then is “faith” but an effort to confound truth and wisdom?
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. 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. -------------------------------------------------------- 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?
Never underestimate our collective capacity for blinking a couple times and completely forgetting. Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson 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.
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? Hard to say at this point. Because it occurred with involvement in the national religion this seems to have been very jarring to a lot of people, and awoken at least a few from their trance. As Loddy says people do have a capacity for blocking out things that are too horrifying to the point of refusing to see, and there are a lot of things that fall into that category. Look at the FreepTards - they have supported war crimes for which NAZIs were hung, and call any evidence outside their own narrow and controlled viewpoint a (((((shudder))))) "Conspiracy Theory" - even to the point of banning. I did some posting on a NeoCon Website here not too long ago and lasted about 6 posts before I was banned for speaking the unvarnished truth. So, your point is granted in that a lot of people are too cowardly and too brainwashed to even look at and consider evidence that is not part of their "normal" self-reinforcing echo chamber. I noticed that in another article earlier today (not posted here). Oh, there is no doubt in my mind that the cover is going into place. The question is, is there enough public outrage to overcome it? That is a variable and a wild card, and the lawsuits are going to force even more information out, and drag the story on. A lot of this is going to hinge on whether the prosecutors can be bought off or threatened into inaction. Normally that would be the case, but if the public pressure outweighs the private pressure something may give way. Hard to say at this point. For safety and honety's sake Pedd State should appoint an investigative committee so large (20 people or more) that it becomes very difficult to shut them all up. well said.

Yes, I'm sure Pedd State and the Second (s)Mile helped the kids down one path or another. To so abuse the trust of a child is NEVER acceptable. This is just SO Sick! I cannot stand even looking at the stuff but if we do not force ourselves to look, see, and act when something like this occurs it is simply a green light to keep doing it. The pervs are not going stop unless someone exposes them and stops them. I'm there with you on this one. There was a time when we had decent, watchable, enjoyable shows - not so much today.

One of their websites is named Blue/White Illustrated (BWI) which we Buckeye fans refer to as Baboons with internets. Anyway, there was a post there last night spreading a rumor that the victim in the shower was 16 instead of 10. You should have seen the rationalizing they were doing. According to a lot of their posters, rape is ok as long as the victim is the age of consent. Many of them are in deep denial over all this.

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one. None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. For me it would be "Have Gun Will Travel", Daniel Boone starring Fess Parker, The Cisco Kid, Star Trek, "Whirly Birds" (mid-50's and very dated now), Wyatt Earp, Cheyenne, Sugar Foot, The Rockford Files, Maverick, Bewitched (first 2 seasons), Mash*, and "The Name of The Game". ISpy was good too but I've only seen a few episodes - it was always on during one of my mom's favorites on another channel. There were a few others I found enjoyable, but those were the main ones. I didn't like Bonanza that much after one of the actors who played one of the brothers left the show and they replaced him with someone else. Honorable Mentions: 77 Sunset Strip (Which had the coolest opening of any TV show) Peter Gunn (Al Hirt's Trumpet made the show with that wonderful Henry Mancini Theme song.) Surfside 6 - which was a copycat of 77 Sunset Strip Mr. Lucky - another dark detective show. The Outer Limits - best early SF drama. Along Came Bronson (first season only) The Rebel - (Johnny Yuma) deleted

Thank goodness we can catch the replays. Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson We'll know tomorrow what happens.
Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson Actually, thinking about it, I mean't "Davey Crockett" - "King of the wild frontier ..." and not Daniel Boone. Oddly enough Fess Parker, I believe, played both. A little trivia - the man who played Davey's Indian Sidekick/Friend was played by an actor named Ed Ames (who was really an Indian) and he was also a Operatic Tenor - and a very good one. I still have one of his recordings somewhere. My mother loved his rendition of "They Call The Wind Mariah" - which was the opening theme for the movie "Krakatoa East of Java". Yes, Adam Cartwright - and he was the best. I don't know if he ever regretted leaving the show or not. Just looked him up on WackyPedia - evidently not - they have an extensive entry about him. Pernell Roberts He would have made a mint from it for as long as it ran. I think it was second only to "Gunsmoke" as the longest running Western. Roberts was the last surviving member of the cast and died of Pancreatic Cancer, age 81, in 2010. we'll just have to disagree that a diploma from Penn state is tainted for all who have ever gotten one. sure this has brought shame to the university, but Penn State is first and foremost an academic institution. for example, what does what happened in the football program have to do with what happened in math class? your approach, imo, is to throw the baby out with the bath water. again, the University is much more than its football. even still, there's absolutely no reason that the athletes past and present shouldn't be proud of their personal achievements. a clean sweep of anyone who had anything to do with this situation is what's warranted, not a destruction of the entire school and community.
Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson Coolness. :-)
Yeah, no shit. Ex-Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky admits to showering with boys
Sandusky: "I didn't have sex with that boy ..." Nixon: "Your President is not a crook." Clinton: "I did not have sex with that woman - Monica Lewinsky." 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's a huge problem for all of our society. The good guys haven't been showing up lately - it looks to me like an intervention is required. Even if some "innocent" people were prosecuted (or persecuted) in error - it'd be a good lesson for future perps ! Just my opinion. "the man who puts all the guns and all the decision-making power into the hands of the central government and then says, “Limit yourself”; it is he who is truly the impractical utopian."

As much as I detest lawyers, in this case I support them to the hilt. The State has lots of money, now let the elite bastards pay plus be stained by the affair. I heard from a friend yesterday that this is going to be big time, for the State and FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL THAT IS EVEN REMOTELY INVOLVED. Note this...It may be so big that to limit State loss and elite exposure, the legal systemmay eventually roll it all into one suit, whereby they protect the elite guilty and one moretime abuse the children. Remember, the system CAN DO ANYTHING IT WANTS TO DO." Cyni

There is plenty of speculation about how much administrators at the organization knew—as well whether the center could lose $3 million in state funding promised to the organization for the construction of a 45,000-square foot learning center that was supposed to come with dorm rooms, locker areas, and showers.

Somebody ought to tell the truth about the Bible. The preachers dare not, because they would be driven from their pulpits. Professors in colleges dare not, because they would lose their salaries. Politicians dare not. They would be defeated. Editors dare not. They would lose subscribers. Merchants dare not, because they might lose customers. Men of fashion dare not, fearing that they would lose caste. Even clerks dare not, because they might be discharged. And so I thought I would do it myself... Robert Ingersoll
