Mother Reported Sandusky For Showering With Her 11-Year-Old In 1998

Pennsylvania said they didn’t first hear abuse charges concerning Jerry Sandusky from assistant coach Mike McQueary; rather it was from a mother reporting that Sandusky showered with her 11-year-old son in 1998.

State College police did help on a case led by Penn State police into a 1998 allegation, referred to in a 23-page grand jury report on the Sandusky investigation as “Victim 6.”

The report said the investigation began after an 11-year-old boy’s mother complained that Sandusky had showered with her son in the football facilities.

[State College Police Chief Tom] King said the State College detective who helped on that case forwarded his notes to Penn State police, who then turned the case over to then-Centre Couny District Attorney Ray Gricar. He declined to file charges.
