STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - The results of Penn State's internal investigation into the Jerry Sandusky scandal are due to be released in the form of a report that could answer many of the troubling questions swirling around one of the darkest scandals in sports history.
A team led by former federal judge and FBI director Louis Freeh interviewed hundreds of people to learn how the university responded to warning signs that its once revered former defensive coordinator - a man who helped Hall of Fame football coach Joe Paterno win two national titles while touting "success with honor" - was a serial child molester.
Sandusky was convicted on 45 criminal counts last month at a trial that included gut-wrenching testimony from eight young men who said he abused them as boys.
By contrast, the Freeh report, scheduled for online release at 9 a.m. Thursday, will focus on Penn State and what it did - or didn't do - to protect children. It remains unclear how top university officials handled reports dating back at least 14 years that Sandusky was behaving inappropriately with boys he met through his charity, bringing them on campus and forcing them into sex acts.
