Oh, this is rich!!! A long-time Centre County “journalist” who helped create the rush to judgment against Jerry Sandusky, has been arrested for attempting to have sex with a child, something that never happened with Sandusky despite 3 years of investigation/attempted entrapment!
This is the same guy!

What? Sandusky did get arrested for having sex with raping a child.
mountaineer:
Yeah, I couldn't remember exactly what Sandusky was charged with or convicted of.
Wikipedia says:
--- Quote ---On November 5, 2011, Sandusky was arrested and charged with seven counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, eight counts of corruption of minors, eight counts of endangering the welfare of a child, seven counts of indecent assault, and other offenses ...

In any event, the irony is that this journalist who was so irate toward and critical of Paterno over the Sandusky matter turns out to be a sex offender himself.
