Penn State's Sandusky Paid $500,000 by Boy's Charity; " Pimping" Investigation Underway Huntington News November 12, 2011 http://www.huntingtonnews.net/13264 STATE COLLEGE, PA (HNN) – A former Penn State defensive coach accused of child rape by multiple victims received nearly $500,000 from the at-risk boys charity that he founded, according to CBS TV 21 reports. The station obtained copies of income tax returns from Second Mile which beginning in 2001 (the earliest year available) paid Jerry Sandusky approximately $50,000 annually as a "consultant." Sandusky founded the Second Mile Foundation in 1977. Tax records were not available prior to 2001, according to the Channel 21 investigation. The initial allegation of sexual abuse of a child came in 1998. Sandusky reportedly admitted to "hugging" a ten year old boy while showering. The board of waited ten years before taking its first punitive action --- barring him from overnight camping trips. He "retired" in 2010 Now, radio reporter has told the New England Sports Network (NESN) that Second Mile and Sandusky are targets of an investigation that "pimping" of boys were occurring. Madden first broke a story in April 2011 which revealed the alleged Sandusky child rape cover-up. On WEEI's morning show, Nov. 10, Madden also said, "The other thing I think that may eventually become uncovered, is that I think they'll find out that Jerry Sandusky was told that he had to retire in exchange for a cover-up," Madden said. "If you look at the timeline, that makes perfect sense, doesn't it? "My opinion is when Sandusky quit, everybody knew -- not just at Penn State," Madden added. "I think it was a very poorly kept secret about college football in general, and that is why he never coached in college football again and retired at the relatively young age of 55. [That's] young for a coach, certainly." Madden denied that he started the "rumor," stating, "The Second Mile was the perfect cover [for him to be with young kids]," radio host Madden said, adding, " I think the people who knew were the people who knew." Speculation has spread about potential civil suit against the university and its officials. Since the last allegation intertwining Penn State and Sandusky came at his retirement, which was over five years ago, it's likely all criminal charges except those lodged against Sandusky, would fall beyond the statute of limitations.
