The pedophile scandal at Penn State University continues, even after the indictment of Jerry Sandusky and the death of Coach Joe Paterno. The notorious case of sexual child abuse continues to rock "Happy Valley" because of a colossal cover up. Allegations are flying, centered on former university officials Graham Spanier, Tim Curley, Gary Shultz, along with Joe Paterno. It is alleged that these men allowed Sandusky to prey on these boys for some 14 years without confronting the problem. In fact, the university's trustees have hired former FBI Director Louis Freeh to investigate the situation.

            After Freeh and his team interviewed more than 430 people, and examined more than 3.5 million emails and other hand-written documents, he called the administrators' behavior "callous and shocking." He went on to say: "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."
