"Child told Paterno of sex abuse in 1976, court papers allege"-PennLive





...one of Penn State's insurers has claimed "in 1976, a child allegedly reported to PSU's Head Coach Joseph Paterno that he (the child) was sexually molested by Sandusky."

Oh, we're referring to him as "Joseph Paterno" now, not "Joe," not "Joe Pa," not "Joe Pedo Bear," "Joseph"?  I see.

The order also cites separate references in 1987 and 1988 in which unnamed assistant coaches witnessed inappropriate contact between Sandusky and unidentified children, and a 1988 case that was supposedly referred to Penn State's athletic director at the time.

All, the opinion states, are described in victims' depositions taken as part of the still-pending insurance case, but that, according a PennLive review of the case file, are apparently under seal.
