IMHO, Ralph Cipriano is light years ahead of any journalist or blogger in reporting on the Penn State fiasco that has run its course over the last 7 years. Here is a summary of the stories that he has written on his bigtrial blog.
Penn State Confidential
When it comes to sex abuse, as evidenced in the recent U.S. Senate confirmation hearings over Judge Kavanaugh, the media promotes sensation over substance, hysteria over rational thought.
This type of media malpractice occurred at Penn State, where the mainstream media for years has refused to re-examine what can only be described as a legal travesty of epic proportions.
As documented on my blog, the entire investigation at Penn State is tainted by official misconduct. The headline allegation of the grand jury presentment — the alleged rape of a 10-year-old boy in the showers by Jerry Sandusky — is a work of fiction. A couple of decades later, no victim has ever come forward. And the only alleged witness to that alleged event, former Penn State assistant coach Mike McQueary, isn’t credible. That was the finding of a former NCIS special agent who conducted a contemporaneous and previously unknown federal investigation of the so-called sex scandal and alleged coverup at Penn State.
In the Sandusky investigation, the prosecutors were unethical crusaders who broke the law by repeatedly leaking grand jury secrets and trampling on the constitutional rights of the accused. The police were caught on tape deliberately lying to alleged victims. Psychologists in the case relied on scientifically-discredited recovered memory therapy. Former FBI Director Louie Freeh conducted an “independent” investigation of the scandal that was marred by factual mistakes and unsubstantiated opinions. And the university’s board of trustees not only engaged in an ongoing coverup of Freeh’s botched report, but they also failed in their fiduciary duties by not doinganything to investigate the allegations of 36 alleged victims, who hopped aboard the gravy train and collected a total of $118 million from Penn State. You won’t find any of these facts in the mainstream media, but all of these facts has been documented on my blog:
