The cast of characters in the Penn State trial:
The main players in the Penn State scandal:
JERRY SANDUSKY
Role: Former assistant football coach and founder of The Second Mile charity for children, accused of molesting boys over a 15-year period.
Background: Arrested in November after a long investigation by a statewide grand jury. He had been a successful defensive coach for the Nittany Lions for 30 years, and prosecutors say he used his fame in the community to attract victims.
Charges: Involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, indecent assault of a young child, unlawful contact with minors, corruption of minors, endangering the welfare of children.
DOTTIE SANDUSKY
Role: Married to Jerry Sandusky.
Background: Dottie Sandusky has stood by her husband, posting his bail, accompanying him to court proceedings and issuing a statement in December that proclaimed his innocence and said accusers were making up stories. She is not charged. She testified June 19 on her husband's behalf.
TIM CURLEY
Role: Penn State athletic director, on leave while he fights criminal charges for actions related to the Sandusky scandal.
Background: Curley fielded a complaint about Sandusky in a team shower with a boy in early 2001, and told a grand jury he instructed Sandusky not to be inside Penn State athletic facilities with any young people.
Charges: Failure to properly report suspected child abuse and perjury for lying to the grand jury. He's not on trial with Sandusky, denies the allegations and is seeking to have the charges dismissed.
GARY SCHULTZ
Role: Penn State vice president for business and finance, now retired.
Background: Schultz told the grand jury that head coach Joe Paterno and assistant Mike McQueary reported the 2001 shower incident ''in a very general way'' but did not provide details.
Charges: Failure to properly report suspected child abuse and perjury for lying to the grand jury. He's not on trial with Sandusky, denies the allegations and is seeking to have the charges dismissed.

(50,404 posts)Corbett, as AG, was handed the case in 2009 and did nothing with it, assigned only ONE officer to investigate the allegations. It wasnt until Frank Noonan took over as state police commissioner that seven more investigators from the state police and attorney generals office were added to the case.
Corbett was also on the Board of Directors for Second Mile.
I hope he is not left out of any investigation wrt any attempted cover-up.

(24,766 posts)His deliberate understaffing of officers reeks of coverups. I hope the AG (or acting AG) investigates Corbett for child endangerment.

(39,961 posts)who protected this creep get what is coming to them, too. I honestly think Dottie Sandusky should be charged. There is just no freaking way that she didn't know this was going on.
