PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Former FBI director Louis Freeh  has released results of the investigation into Penn State’s role in the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse affair, and it is not kind to higher-ups at the school. According to the report, Penn State senior leaders, including football coach Joe Paterno, disregarded the safety and welfare Sandusky’s victims. The Nittany Lions’ former assistant football coach has been convicted of 45 counts and is awaiting sentencing.

Freeh says the most “saddening and sobering” finding from his group’s report into the Jerry Sandusky child sex scandal is Penn State senior leaders’ “total disregard” for the safety and welfare of the ex-coach’s child victims.

He says that the “most powerful men at Penn State failed” to take any steps for 14 years, calling out Paterno, ex-President Graham Spanier, athletic director Tim Curley and former senior vice president Gary Schultz.

The investigation concluded that the senior officials “concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky’s child abuse” because they were worried about bad publicity.

Sandusky is awaiting sentencing after being convicted of 45 criminal counts. The scandal led to the ouster of Paterno and Spanier.
