Penn State Sex Scandal

Lately there has been news about Penn State. Jerry Sandusky used to be a football coach for Penn State University. He later then retired from a football coach, and worked as an assistant football coach. His boss was Joe Paterno. Jerry also played for Joe Paterno as a defensive end for two years. Joe Paterno was fired because he knew about the whole situation. It has been believed that Jerry sexually abused 10 boys over 10 years. In November 2011, Jerry Sandusky was charged with 40 counts of sexual abuse. On November 5th in 2011, Sandusky was arrested for raping children. An assistant coach named Mike McQueary walked in on Sandusky raping a young boy. Mike said he told Joe Paterno and Paterno told his boss, but no one did anything about it. On November 6th, Jerry was banned from Penn State campus. On November 10th, teenagers and adults messed up Sandusky's house. On December 7th 2011, Jerry was arrested again for more counts of sexual abuse. He can go to jail for life if he is convicted of the charges on his court date.

 I think Jerry Sandusky should have been arrested for raping those little kids. It was also a good idea, to ban him from the Penn State campus because he might have tried to do it again. I don't think it was fair for firing Joe Paterno. He did what he had to do and told his boss, there was nothing else he could have done to stop this. Joe Paterno should have kept his job, it isn't like he did not try to stop Jerry. They should have let Joe Paterno keep his job and Jerry should stay in jail for the rest of his life.
