Ex-PSU Grad Assistant Matt Paknis On WFAN: Paterno Knows Everything

[RamboLiberal]

A former child-abuse victim himself, former football grad assistant Matt Paknis believes Joe Paterno knew about Jerry Sandusky’s alleged sexual abuse against children years ago.

Paknis was a graduate assistant on the Nittany Lions football staff in 1987 and 1988. He says Sandusky exhibited questionable behavior towards the players back then.

As a childhood victim of sexual abuse, he said he remembered thinking how inappropriate it was when he saw Sandusky tickle and pinch little boys during football camps, sometimes putting them in headlocks.

When asked about the possibility that Paterno could not be aware of reports on Sandusky’s behavior Paknis said it was “impossible.”

1. The pod cast interview is well worth listening to...

There is mention of a 30 page university police report on Sandusky in 1998 and Paknis was asked whether it is feasible Paterno would not have known about it and Paknis said "impossible".

The 30 page report point comes in at around the 6 minute mark.

THIRTY PAGE report on Sandusky in 1998! Think about it!
