Two Penn State administrators were arraigned Monday on charges of perjury and failure to report abuse - a case their attorneys called "weak" and a "prosecutor's charge of last resort."

Athletic Director Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, senior vice president of business and finance for Penn State, were each released on $75,000 unsecured bail, meaning they don't have to pay bail unless they fail to appear at any court-mandated hearing. They also were required to surrender their passports.

The charges are related to an incident in 2002, when a former graduate assistant, identified as assistant football coach Mike McQueary, reported seeing Sandusky sexually assaulting a boy, about 10 years old, in a shower at the Lasch Football Building.

Plenty more articles to be found. Anyone who assaults or rapes another person is a sick creature but to do it to children?!? THAT is probably the worst thing anyone can do - or tops the list. I read the grand jury indictment of the 8 alleged victims and it's disgusting.

The graduate assistant who said he saw Sandusky raping a 10 year old boy in the shower - why didn't he stop him?! Why did he just leave that child there to get violated that way?

Why didn't Paterno follow up? Yes legally he did what he was supposed to do - he told school officials who obviously covered it up. But morally...this guy was on his staff for years. He did this on school property in the football team's showers. So just because he wasn't on the coaching staff anymore that means don't find out what's going on?

The allegations in the indictment are disgusting. Also the fact he met these boys in his organization to HELP children is even worse. I hope that the first time that the Second Mile found out about this was when they dismissed Sandusky from the organization in 2008 I believe. If they had known about this and let him stay there to stalk his prey, that's worse than the school.

However, I've seen comments other places of people calling to boycott the football team or boycott the school. I don't see where blaming the football team comes into play. The athletes had nothing to do with this. The only blame can be laid at the graduate assistant who said he saw the rape and in some aspects Paterno - him at least morally. Then the school as a whole didn't do this - a few people who were supposed to be in charge did this and they should be punished for covering it up.

I just don't know how someone could take advantage of children. Who knows how many kids there actually were. Sandusky started the organization in 1977.
