Feds Now Investigating Sandusky Pedophile Ring, Possibly Shared Boys With Others

New explosive child sexual abuse charges against Jerry Sandusky and Penn State are being investigated by federal law enforcement officials, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

Both the FBI and a criminal investigative division of the United States Postal Service are looking into the possible existence of a pedophile ring that involved Sandusky sharing boys with other men connected to Penn State. Sandusky was recently convicted on 45 counts of child sexual abuse.

“Investigators have interviewed at least one man who claims to have knowledge of Sandusky and a very prominent man, with strong ties to Penn State, both sexually abusing a boy,” a source familiar with the situation told RadarOnline.com.

Criminal investigators from the United States Postal Inspectors are involved because sexual material involving underage boys may have been transmitted through the mail. The source says that the postal service seems to be leading this investigation, although Radar has not confirmed

“The investigation is in its early stages,” the source added. “They have not yet cast a wide net but it is ongoing and it is serious.”

Some claim that a pedophile abuses, on average, 150 victims (if they abuse boys). http://www.childluresprevention.com/research/profile.asp

The low number of victims that actually came forward never seemed to me to be the true amount. It was an awfully low number and I always suspected that Sandusky raped and/or abused many more boys than we'll ever know.

and find every bit of evidence they can. This is one case they will not unleash without a lot of evidence. They will probably find more victims that weren't involved in the trial.
It may take a while, but if true, it could truly be explosive.

that would certainly explain the cover up and the enabling by the likes of Fuck Your dead ass JoePa and the rest.

Didn't the Johny Goesch author somehow connect the Penn State child abuse to the missing children and child prostitutes in the white house stories?

I could be wrong but it would be fantastic if this whole thing blew wide open. All the bastards need to go down.

Which could explain the HUGE cover-up, and likely the death of that investigator (Poppy Bush was CIA).

...but you don't have to go back that far. There's the Boys Town sex scandal that came out as a result of the Franklin Savings and Loan scandal for example:

Since Sandusky founded Second Mile and he's a known, repeat pedophile, it makes sense to see if he used that organization to help other pedophiles gain access to children.

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57491185/feds-probe-possible-sandusky-child-porn-ring/

U.S. Postal inspectors are leading a federal investigation into whether former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky shared child pornography with other individuals, CBS News has learned.

Analyzing a computer seized from Sandusky, investigators are also looking into whether he sent "seductive letters" across state lines for sexual purposes. Some of these letters were said to be sent to some of his sexual abuse victims.

CBS News has learned that at the end of 2011, allegations were forward by the U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. that Sandusky used the mails to seduce individuals to cross state lines for sexual purposes, with trips and gifts offered. Investigators are looking at 6-7 victims who might have gotten letters.

...A source has been told that child pornography was found in at least one of Sandusky's computers. According to the source, there is no evidence that the pornography was of his victims. There is also no mention of a ring or sharing of boys with others. CBS News investigative producer Pat Milton reports that a second source said that none of Sandusky's victims have indicated that there was shared sex with them, Sandusky and any other individual.
