Sandusky was a former coach (or other type of employee, I am not a sports person and don’t know the terminology) at Penn State who worked for Joe Paterno, the long-time and legendary coach of the college football team. Sandusky ran a separate youth football program for underprivileged boys and was convicted of molesting some of them over the course of a number of years. Some of the incidents allegedly occurred at Penn State, in the locker room, such as Sandusky showering naked with boys (if I recall what I read correctly). There was an ancillary scandal involving what Paterno knew and when and what he did or didn’t do when he did find out. Paterno passed away but I honestly don’t remember if it was before or after the trial, although it was after the story broke. Sandsusky is appealing his conviction.
