Coach Sandusky was accused of allegedly having inappropriate conduct with boys that he met through his charity the Second Mile program. A graduate coaches assistant saw Sandusky doing inappropriate things to the boys in the shower and reported it to head coach Joe Paterno. Paterno then reported it to the athletic director and at that point it was pretty much dropped. In 1998 one of the mothers in Sandusky's charity reported that he showered with her son and may have done inappropriate things with him. Sandusky admitted to showering with the boy and admits it was wrong and promises not to do it again and the case was dropped. One of the boys he spent a lot of time with suddenly dropped communication with Sandusky, and since then it's been under investigation since then.
I'm not sure how this could have gone on for so long. It's a little ridiculous that a major university would let something like this go one for so long, or even drop charges like that. No matter where you are, this isn't something you just overlook. The coaches were right in reporting it, but the university wrong to let it go. I think this should have been over and done with the first time it was brought up. Not only was it inappropriate, but it was in his charity. Just so wrong. It's almost like he made that charity to take advantage of the boys.
