Jerry Sandusky Rumored to Have Been 'Pimping Out Young Boys to Rich Donors,' Says Mark Madden

In April, Pittsburgh radio host Mark Madden wrote a story revealing Penn State for much of the cover-up of Jerry Sandusky's alleged child rape that has been exposed in the past week. While it didn't raise many eyebrows back then, six months later it looks to be incredibly accurate.

On Thursday morning, just hours after legendary head coach Joe Paterno and university president Graham Spanier were fired by the school's board of trustees, Madden was asked on WEEI's The Dennis and Callahan Show what he believes the next piece of news will be.

What he said was twice as shocking as anything that's been released thus far.

"I can give you a rumor and I can give you something I think might happen," Madden told John Dennis and Gerry Callahan. "I hear there's a rumor that there will be a more shocking development from the Second Mile Foundation -- and hold on to your stomachs, boys, this is gross, I will use the only language I can -- that Jerry Sandusky and Second Mile were pimping out young boys to rich donors. That was being investigated by two prominent columnists even as I speak."

After the news spread, Madden later explained via Twitter why he went public with the rumors.

"I normally abhor giving RUMORS credence," Madden wrote. "But whole Sandusky scandal started out as a RUMOR. It gets deeper and more disgusting all the time. One of state's top columnists investigating. That adds credence. I am NOT rumor's original source. [Why does] Sandusky deserve benefit of doubt?"

Madden also spoke more definitively on Dennis and Callahan to the cover-up efforts at the school and beyond that he expects will be made public soon.

"The other thing I think that may eventually become uncovered, and I talked about this in my original article back in April, is that I think they'll find out that Jerry Sandusky was told that he had to retire in exchange for a cover-up," Madden said. "If you look at the timeline, that makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

"My opinion is when Sandusky quit, everybody knew -- not just at Penn State," Madden added. "I think it was a very poorly kept secret about college football in general, and that is why he never coached in college football again and retired at the relatively young age of 55. [That's] young for a coach, certainly."

Madden: Sandusky a State secret

Madden: Sandusky a State secret Mark Madden Timesonline.com

The Jerry Sandusky situation seems a matter of failure to connect certain dots, or perhaps unwillingness in that regard. Lots of people besides the former Penn State defensive coordinator have some explaining to do.

Allegations of improper conduct with an underage male first surfaced in 1998, while Sandusky was still employed by Penn State. That incident allegedly occurred in a shower at Penn State's on-campus football facility. No charges were filed.

Sandusky retired the next year, in 1999. He was 55, prime age for a coach. Odd, to say the least - especially with Joe Paterno thought even then to be ready to quit and Sandusky a likely, openly-discussed successor.

It seems logical to ask: What did Paterno know, and when did he know it? What did Penn State's administration know, and when did they know it?

Best-case scenario: Charges are never brought, and Sandusky walks away with his reputation permanently scarred. The rumors, the jokes, the sideways glances - they won't ever stop. Paterno and Penn State do the great escape.

Worst-case scenario: Sandusky is charged. Then it seems reasonable to wonder: Did Penn State not make an issue of Sandusky's alleged behavior in 1998 in exchange for him walking away from the program at an age premature for most coaches? Did Penn State's considerable influence help get Sandusky off the hook?

Don't kid yourself. That could happen. Don't underestimate the power of Paterno and Penn State in central Pennsylvania when it comes to politicians, the police and the media.

In 1999, Penn State was rid of Sandusky. His rep was unblemished, which allowed him to continue running a charitable foundation that gave him access to underage males. To be a volunteer assistant with a high school football team, thus gaining access to underage males.

If Paterno and Penn State knew, but didn't act, instead facilitating Sandusky's untroubled retirement - are Paterno and Penn State responsible for untoward acts since committed by Sandusky?

This is far from an outrageous hypothesis, especially given the convenient timeline.

Initially accused in 1998. Retires in 1999. Never coaches college football again. Sandusky was very successful at what he did. The architect of Linebacker U. Helped win national championships in 1982 and 1986. Recognized as college football's top assistant in 1986 and 1999.

Never any stories about Sandusky being pursued for a high-profile job. Never any rumors about him coming out of retirement.

But there's no shortage of stories and rumors about Penn State football sweeping problems under the rug, is there?

Why did college football let an accomplished coach like Sandusky walk away at 55? Why did he disappear into relative anonymity?

A grand jury, spurred by a complaint made by a 15-year-old boy in 2009, has been investigating Sandusky for 18 months. Witnesses include Paterno and Penn State athletic director Tim Curley. Interviewing Paterno about a subject like this had to have been one of the single most uncomfortable acts in the history of jurisprudence.

Plenty of questions remain yet unanswered. Potentially among them: What's more important, Penn State football or the welfare of a few kids?

Former Assistant Coach Jerry Sandusky's Grand Jury indictment paints the disturbing portrait of a man who used his position to target and sexually abuse young boys over a long period of time.

By Michael Isikoff

Joe Paterno has reached out to a prominent Washington criminal defense lawyer to represent him in the Penn State sex abuse case.

J. Sedgwick Sollers, who once represented President George H.W. Bush in the Iran-Contra affair, was contacted by Paterno's advisers on Thursday. But Sollers has not yet met with Paterno, and a formal retainer agreement has not been signed.

The longtime Penn State football coach was fired Wednesday night after disclosures in a grand jury report that one of his assistants informed him in 2002 about an alleged incident of sexual abuse by former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky.

Paterno has not been charged with any crimes in the case. He has been described as a cooperating witness in the case. Two other university officials told by Paterno about the alleged incident were charged this week with failing to report Sandusky's conduct to legal authorities and perjury.

Sollers declined to comment Thursday night. He is the managing partner in the Washington office of King & Spalding, a major Atlanta-based law firm. A spokesman for Paterno said in an email that "no lawyer has been retained."

Look for the connection between Penn State "Nittany Lions" and the University of Nebraska "Corn Huskers."

Penn State Child Rape Scandal No Tailgate Party
Grand Jury Indictment 23 Page Report

Jerry Sandusky saw his Second Mile Foundation as an opportunity, but what kind of opportunity? News that famed Penn State defensive coordinator, Jerry Sandusky, abused his position and had a long undisclosed fetish for young boys has brought a wave of shame, remorse and resignations from key Penn State officials who should have known better.

Long used as a tactic by organized crime to control political figures, Sandusky's compromising lifestyle has many asking the degree to which Penn State’s program was corrupted by organized crime and whether the Second Mile Foundation was in any way linked to the Franklin Cover-Up which involved key political figures during the same time period at Omaha Nebraska’s Boys Town.

Joe Paterno, 84 year old
Penn State Coach,
claims to have appropriately handled
Sandusky's "little problem".

Frank Noonan, Pennsylvania Police Commissioner and former FBI Special Agent, could not be reached for comment, nor was it immediately apparent whether Noonan is related to the Reagan-Bush Presidential speech writer Peggy Noonan who coined the term “1000 Points of Light” for the George Herbert Walker Bush Presidential campaign. The Second Mile Foundation was recognized as one of President Bush’s 1000 Points of Light. The Franklin Savings case provides evidence that the practices uncovered in Omaha went straight to Washington D.C.'s highest political circles, but so may Happy Valley.

Former Governor Ed Rendell whose crusty appearance and speech gives the impression of a stereotypical Mafiaoso-type, has admitted his longstanding friendship with Pennsylvania mob figure, Louis De Naples, Jr.. Rendell could not be reached for his take on the Sandusky/Penn State scandal, but sources close to Rendell said….“It was Louisiana’s Hewey P. Long who used to say ‘I have this election in my back pocket unless I’m discovered in bed with a dead woman or a live boy.’ Mobsters know that if you want to control someone you get them in a compromising position like the one Sandusky provided for the whole Penn State athletic program and University System. It’s a ticket to robbery and plunder.”

It has not been disclosed whether or not former Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge had any knowledge of the events at Penn State nor whether or not during this period the Homeland Security color coding system of warning citizens of terrorist alerts could have been used to warn Pennsylvania boys of the domestic terrorism afoot in Pennsylvania. Sources close to Ridge indicated that his move to the first directorship of the Office of Homeland Security where he fought to secure the nation from international terrorists was preferable to living with the continued threat of an explosion of this sort on the Penn State campus. Former Philadelphia Eagles Coach, Dick Vermeil, an honorary Second Mile Foundation board member is said to have commented "Philadelphia is the city of brotherly love, but Sandusky forgot that you have to be of age and a willing party or it's child abuse and/or rape." Vermeil had commented in Jerry Sandusky's autobiography published in 2001 titled Touched: The Jerry Sandusky Story, that "Jerry Sandusky may well be the Will Rogers of football". Of course Vermeil couldn't have been further off base than the old Michael Vick rescuing a Pitt Bull at a dog shelter. "Will Rogers said....'Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip,'" said one Sandusky critic.

Sandusky leaves Penn State in 1999 and becomes
one of three members of the Paris Corporation's
Executive Compensation Committee with Paris'
CEOs sitting on the Second Mile Foundation Board.

Brian Laminature, of the citizen watchdog group, Better than Bloodhounds, of East Memphis, Tennessee said on Monday, November 7th, that "just after Gerald A. Sandusky retired from Penn State in 1999, he became a prominent board member for the Paris Corporation whose former president and current president serve on the board of Second Mile. Peter Retzlaff also serves on the Paris Coporation's Stock and Salary Compensation Committee of three including Peter Retzlaff, Oscar Tete and Sandusky. It's good to have the goods on the guys deciding corporate compensation packages," said Laminature. "Especially when Retzlaff and Sandusky have 66% of the power in a culture of corporate greed, blatant financial malfeasance and Napoleanic nepotism, you need someone with Sandusky's unique qualifications to insure compliance. Otherwise, how can you come close to the certainty that your guys get the compensation packages they believe they deserve even when stockholders and the general public are resistant," said Laminature. "Sadly, the children are pawns in the slimy grease pit of human corruption and decadence. I am waiting to hear from the wives of these men and think that a good forward thinking publisher would offer a group of the wives a huge advance on an insiders' story. That would give them the freedom they need to come out of the shadows together and kick butt for the sake of the children. They could name their book Inappropriately Touched: The Real Jerry Sandusky Story," said Laminature.

"I'd look at the past presidents of Penn State, to see who might have had the greatest incentive to hide this type of corruption. For example," said Laminature, "Henry Bryce Jordan, was president for a good number of years during Jerry Sandusky's tenure at Penn State. As a former president of the University of Texas was he groomed for the role of gatekeeper of secrets? It was at UT where in 1999, the same year that Sandusky leaves Penn State, and a year after missing D.A. Ray Gricar who disappeared after refusing to prosecute Sandusky, that George W. Bush, transferred the UT investment program over to his buddies. Did Jordan have a proclivity toward subterfuge from his Texas days?" asked Laminature.

"Additionally, former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker, Al Chessley, who was born in Washington D.C. and played at the University of Pittsburgh provides the clearest link between the Franklin Cover-Up connections to Washington D.C. and the apparent cesspool uncovered at Happy Valley. Chessley has told his story of abuse in Washington and he's called on the NCAA to step up and support bills aimed at reigning in this wretched blight on our nation's homeland.....a blight that is every bit as dangerous as the terrorism we supposedly face from abroad. But here's the problem. You look at the NCAA Board and you find that the connections to these twin towers of pedophilia......Happy Valley and Omaha.....linking as they do back to our nation's capital and good god! For example, Marvin P. Bush, the brother of George Walker Bush whose security company watched over the twin towers of the World Trade Center on 911, is on the NCAA Board of Directors. So is Anthony Welters of United Health Group whose founder found sanctuary in Florida like Jeb Bush and Florida Governor, Rick Scott. Robert Tobias is on the NCAA board, chairman emeritus of Eli Lilly Co. founded by Eli Lilly a Civil War armaments expert who saw the value of war supported by opiates and then there's Robert J. Brown with ties to Brown Brothers, Alexander Brown of Baltimore and backer of the 'National City Bank Boy's' opposed by the prophetic two-time Congressional Medal of Honor winner, General Smedley Butler in his book War Is A Racket. Nor can you overlook Joe Paterno's graduation from Brown University and his longstanding connections to the McClure Syndicate in Baltimore. There's Kenneth Chenault of American Express on the NCAA board....a relative of General Claire Chennault whose connection to the Chinese Green Gang is well documented (the family alternatively ads and drops an "n")? As a Bowdoin College grad that puts Mr. Chenault at President Franklin Pierce's (Barbara Pierce Bush...Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner and Smith AKA Merrill Lynch) alma mater and there's Calvin Hill of the Dallas Cowboys....a 1969 Yale grad....and who or what's at Yale....CIA Central?.... All with deep ties to America's military industrialist establishment which the NCAA cannot disclose....and its leaders use the American sports system as a spawning pool for what? Broken boys as willing subjects? Cannon fodder? So who can you trust?" asked Laminature. "Calvin Hill had hoped to be a preacher early in his career, but his career took a different turn, eventually from football to basebase where he worked for Baltimore Orioles owner and criminal attorney Edward Bennett Williams, a law parter with Texas Governor, John Connally who represented Robert Vesco, Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Hoffa and his Baltimore team was a centerpiece in the hometown of Alexander Brown who provided the foundation for what General Smedley Butler called the 'National City Bank Boys'. Calvin Hill's boss was a Holy Cross insider like Pennsylvania Governor Bob Casey. If there was a cover up in Omaha at Boys Town related to the inner workings of the Roman Catholic Church then you would expect to find a similar situation in or near Washington D.C.. Supreme Court Judge, Clarence Thomas, himself accused of sexual impropriety like Herman Cain, like Edward Bennett Williams and Bob Casey, was a graduate of Holy Cross a Jesuit college, just like Omaha's Creighton University that honored Herman Cain with a degree. If Calvin Hill wants to leave a lasting legacy for the NCAA he should unite with Al Chessley and use his knowledge and persuasive personality to sand blast the barnacles off of the rusting hull of a once fine vessel," said Laminature. "Make it a federal offense not to call 911 when you see a sex crime against a minor and make it a federal offense to lose the recordings of the 911 calls. Call it the 'Millstone Law'....'better that a person have a millstone tied around their necks and be dropped into the sea than to harm a child.' In as much as these crimes are less about sex than they are about control and power, you will effectively yank the teeth out of the 'Nitwitty Liars' and replace them with a real Nittany Lion....from the Algonquin's who in their primitive society simply took the offender into the woods never to be seen again."

Laminature is deeply concerned that the Omaha/Happy Valley connection may even include current Republican presidential hopeful, Herman Cain. "Cain came to Godfather's Pizza in Omaha from Philadelphia where he worked at the headquarters of Burger King. Cain eventually put together what appears to be a sugar-coated deal to buy Godfather's Pizza from Pillsbury at the same time that Larry King, the top black Republican fund raiser in Omaha and the center of the Franklin Cover-Up story was stealing money from Franklin Savings. So, what appears to be a totally disconnected relationship between Jerry Sandusky and Peter Retzlaff of Paris Corporation, a paper products company is not at all disconnected from Omaha and the William "Willie" Theisen pizza connection with Larry King's pedophile ring there. You see, Retzlaff is also on the incorporation records for Southwest Farm and Ranch, Inc. and Southwest Dairy Inc., two companies that take Midwest grains, as does Pillsbury but for human consumption, and sells it to the cattle industry for what? Meat for Burger King hamburgers and Godfather's Pizzas. Investigative journalists would have a field day with this were they not working for their own gatekeepers who protect the system, but it is way, way, way, past time for a house cleaning! Al Chessley, former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker has sadly noted that the only group that will not back legislation to eliminate child abuse in America is the Catholic Church and Herman Cain received an honary degree from Creighton University in pedophile-pleagued Omaha, a Jesuit university and alma mater of a long-time CEO of Coca-Cola in Atlanta, Georgia, where Herman Cain worked before moving to Burger King and Pillsbury," said Laminature. "And then there's the reference on page 142 of John de Camp's book The Franklin Cover-Up....' Willie Thiesen's name had been linked with Larry King's as being homosexually involved...and that King had also had similar relationships with Harold Andersen, Eugene Mahoney and Bob Wadman'. Willie Theisen had sold his pizza chain to Pillsbury which sold it to Herman Cain. The connections are solid," said Laminature who was saddened to see that the Penn State student body did not take to the streets for the victims and their families. "All that education and so little common sense," he said. "This Saturday Penn State plays Nebraska. Half-time would be an excellent opportunity for John de Camp to address the crowd on national television to lay out the obvious connections and to mobilize people closest to the heart of this American tragedy," said Laminature.
