Report: Paterno, PSU officials in 14-year cover-up

 JERRY SANDUSKY: The former assistant football coach and founder of The Second Mile charity for children was convicted 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. Status: Sandusky was found guilty of 45 of 48 counts. The judge ordered him to be taken to the county jail to await sentencing in about three months. He faces the possibility of life in prison.

The independent panel investigating Pennsylvania State University's role in the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal has determined that the school's top leaders, including legendary football coach Joe Paterno, tried to cover up the abuse for 14 years.
Former FBI Director Louis Freeh, who led the investigation, discussed the findings of the panel's 162-page report at a news conference this morning.
