5. The Penn State/Jerry Sandusky Scandal
Jerry Sandusky served as assistant coach of Penn State’s football team for thirty years, and it was there, say his victims, that he sexually abused more than 40 children. Though he retired in 1999, his alleged victims have just now begun stepping forward, accusing Sandusky of molesting them, and holding head coach Joe Paterno and his staff complicit for doing nothing to stop him. In November, Sandusky was indicted on 40 counts of sex crimes against young boys, following a more than three-year investigation. During an interview with Brian Williams, Sandusky admitted that he “enjoy[ed] young people” but denied being sexually attracted to them. His trial is set for January.
