This Could Get Worse

A new rumor surfacing this morning threatens to the take Penn State Scandal down an even more disturbing road, if that's even possible.
Mark Madden, a reporter for the Beaver County Times, said on WEEI in Boston that some reporters are looking into allegations that Sandusky pimped out young boys to rich donors. Essentially running a child prostitution ring.
You can argue that it is irresponsible for him to report a rumor, with no basis in fact, especially one so explosive in nature.
But personally I like having access to all information and I will sift through it myself and decide what is true and what isn't.
Also keep in mind Madden has been way out in front of this Sandusky story.
Here's what he wrote:

"If Paterno and Penn State knew, but didn't act, instead facilitating Sandusky's untroubled retirement - are Paterno and Penn State responsible for untoward acts since committed by Sandusky?"

In April. He wrote that in April, 7 months before this story broke. So maybe he is once again out in front of this story. That is a sad thing to think about.

i guarantee it gets worse. There are articled in the Patriot News that go back to 3/31/11 talking about this investigation. Add PSU not being prepared to address the PR fallout to the list of inexcusible errors.
