From Philadelphia Inquirer:

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – When Cole Fenton played football at Central Mountain High School in Mill Hall, his impressions of volunteer defensive coach Jerry Sandusky were positive.

So Fenton, now a freshman at Pennsylvania State University, was shocked when he first heard the news regarding Sandusky, who served as Penn State’s defensive coordinator from 1977 to 1999.

After a multiyear grand jury investigation, Sandusky was arrested Saturday on charges of sex abuse of eight minors from 1994 to 2009. Penn State athletic director Tim Curley and senior vice president for finance and business Gary Schultz were charged with perjury in relation to the investigation. Head football coach Joe Paterno was not charged with any wrongdoing.
