标 题: 发酵中，PSU的猥亵男童事件
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Thu Nov 10 03:32:04 2011, 美东)
这事情正在发酵，一天一个样。
这事情的主轴是：宾州州立大学（PSU）前防守教练former defensive coordinator
Jerry Sandusky 15年来，先后性侵/猥亵 8个男童（可能会有更多的被侵犯的人站出来
）。尤其是2002年，在PSU的橄榄球场更衣室浴室，有个研究生助理教练看到Jerry
Sandusky在性侵一个男童。这个助理教练跟父亲通话之后，第二天跟PSU football主教
练Joe Paterno (JoePa，在位已46年)报告所见到的事情。隔天，JoePa上报到主管的体
育部主任(AD)，AD再上报给主管的副校长。整个过程，根据目前所报道的情况，没人直
接报警。这违反了宾州有关法律。
最近，这事情经过3个月的司法调查（具体怎么回事，我不清楚）发酵了起来。性侵嫌
疑人被抓起来，10万美元保释。AD和副... 阅读全帖 |
