jerry sandusky was also coaching football. victim's one allegations were what ultimately led to sandusky's downfall, and in yet another case of everything kind of being connected, the local d.a. had to hand off the case to state authorities because here the da is related by marriage to sandusky. his wife's biological brother is sandusky's adopted son. so jerry sandusky had collections. he had clout. jerry sandusky was idolized. that's what he is called in the grand jury report. she said something that really jumped out at us and we wanted to follow it up today. it's about allegedly happened to her own son at his school. listen to this. jerry was also volunteering at your son's school, helping coach the football team. >> right. >> and he had a lot of privileges at the school. so he could call students out of class? >> i guess. i really think that -- >> do you know what jerry was doing when he called your son out of class? >> i have no idea. >> but he would meet with him? >> i guess, yeah. >> we don't know exactly what happened a

villain number one is jerry sandusky. i have had from so many students who were really furious that there hasn't been more focus on sandusky the past couple of days opposed to paterno because the students rightly or wrongly, they felt that paterno was vilified when sandusky started the mess. now we are beyond the paterno era now i think the scandal will get back to the focus of the deviance or the lchblged deviance. i think that is where the frustration from the students came in yesterday. >> i would arguing what we have been looking at is all of the people who had some level of information about this. and whether or not i they fulfilled their obligations morally and legally which is why paterno has understandably been brought up in all of this. but, i understand their frustration, as well. appreciate you joining us tonight. sunny hostin and jean casarez as well. follow me on twitter. i will be tweeting tonight. jerry sandusky is accused of multiple counts of child sex abuse over a 15-year time span. we will have more on w

as we said a videotaped interview of jerry sandusky conducted some years ago has surfaced in which he talks about his work with children. it's now, of course, difficult to watch in light of these allegations. as peter just reported, there's been another high level resignation in the wake of the scandal. our national investigative correspondent michael isikoff has more on all of it. >> we have outgrown many facilities -- >> reporter: that's jack raykovitz interviewed about the expanding reach of the second mile, a charity he ran for 28 years that helps troubled kids. a grand jury report said raykovitz was told in 2002 that jerry sandusky was showering naked with a 10-year-old boy in the penn state football team's locker room. he says a penn state official told him there was no finding of wrongdoing, but state investigators want to know if there was a cover-up. the second mile is reeling. and its newly appointed director says the charity has launched its own investigation. >> we are really kicking off here to make sure we have talked to everyone and we document everything as part of a s

in an e-mail he reportedly said he talked with police about an alleged sexual assault by jerry sandusky. in the meantime, the charity that places kids with other homes now say the sandusky may have hosted six children back to the '60s. the authorities have been warned in new york and pennsylvania. a new judge has been assigned to the preliminary hearing scheduled for december 7th. the original judge had ties to the second mile charity. the question he is, how did jerry sandusky keep raising money despite all the rumors about his involvement in a sex scandal? one business donated $50,000 to sandusky's family last year is the family clothes line. tracy bell is the star coordinator. tracy bell, obviously deeply concerning course of events in the last few days. you are one of the businesses that's donated money to this charity. how do you feel? >> we were blindsided by everything that has happened past week and a half. >> what rumors had you heard prior to this week? >> we officially had heard just a little gossip around town, some community as every community has. we had heard there were a

let's be clear villain number one here is jerry sandusky. i've heard from so many students really furious there hasn't been more focus on sandusky the past couple of days as opposed to paterno, because the student rightly or wrongly felt that paterno was vilified when sandusky actually started the whole mess. now that we're beyond the pa northwestern era as a coach, you lead your show with sandusky and mcqueary. now the scandal will get back to the focus of the deviants or the alleged deviants who saw certainly things and didn't report them. so i think that's where a lot of frustration from the students came in yesterday. >> i would argue that is all the people that had some level of information about this, and whether or not they fulfilled their obligations both morally and legally, which is why paterno has understandably been brought up in all of this. but i understand their frustration as well. cory, appreciate you joining us tonight. sunny hostin and jean casarez as well. let us know what you think. we're on facebook and goggle and you ca

he told a grand jury he witnessed former defensive coordinator jerry sandusky sexually abusing a boy in the locker room showers in 2002. in seclusion and on paid administrative leave mike mcqueary has not spoken publically since the penn state scandal broke. but last week in an e-mail obtained exclusive by nbc news, he told friends and former teammates, i did the right thing. you guys know me. the truth is not out there fully. i didn't just turn and run. i made sure it stopped. i had to make quick, tough decisions. while he is not facing charges, mcqueary has now hired an attorney. pennsylvania governor tom corbett who, as attorney general in 2009, launched the investigation into former defensive coordinator jerry sandusky said on "meet the press" sunday that mcqueary should have done more. >> he met the minimum obligation of reporting it up, but did not, in my opinion, meet a moral obligation that all of us would have. >> reporter: today, news of another resignation. the latest to step down, dr. jay raykovitz, ceo of the second mile, the children's charity founded by sandusky. >> we

you know, i spoke to jerry sandusky's attorney for a little more than an hour, christine. he went over his defense point by point, and as you heard there, he says that sandusky, yes, he says he showered with young boys. yes, he regrets doing that, but he did not sexually assault anyone. >> reporter: do you believe in his innocence? >> oh, i do. i do. jerry sandusky is a big, overgrown kid. he's a jock. for anybody who's ever played sports. you get showers after you work out. i mean, when people hear he got showers with kids, oh, my goodness. you know? like he got showers with kids. that makes him guilty, right? obviously, anybody who gets a shower with a kid who's an adult has to be guilty of something, but the bottom line is, jocks do that. they kid around and horse around. what jerry says in regard to the one allegation revolving what the assistant coach or grad student said he saw, he said we were horsing around. we weren't engaged in sexual activity. >> reporter: i want to wait before going to that, because that's sprieparate. even before talking about the showering ide

ben, we just heard from jerry sandusky's lawyer who maintains his client is innocent and suggests thats a jock and was kidding around in the shower. and this is what jocks do, they shower together. would your client call what sandusky did kidding around? >> absolutely not. i've got to be honest, it's very disappointing to hear that sort of reaction. i had hoped that we would get a different reaction from his attorney, but i guess he's got a job to do. so from my client's perspective, to answer your question, no, he would not agree with that statement. >> when you hear this attorney saying, well, this is what guys -- what jocks do, what do you think? >> i think it's kind of outrageous that somebody would say something like that. it's a slap in the face to athletes around the country. and i think that what lass been alleged in this is not joking around. >> ben, how is your client doing? i mean, i can't imagine not only what he's been through, but also just seeing the aftermath of it. >> it's been extremely difficult for him he's coming to grips with the sexual abuse itself which is emoti

the mother of one of jerry sandusky's alleged victims is bringing her silence. this comes the day before penn state's last home football game and its first in 46 years without joe paterno as head coach. >> school officials say that mike mcqueary, an assistant who reportedly saw jerry sandusky abusing the child" will not be at the game either. >> many people including joe paterno have been setting separate for the alleged victims. late last night one of the victims' mothers spoke exclusively with abc news about the horror that her son has suffered for years. >> maybe we should've come to this conclusion there earlier, you should've told me. he was like, i didn't know what to do, and you just can't tell jerry no. >> the this woman's son is one of eight young children he has been charged with molesting over pristine years. this child sex abuse scandal has rocked the campus and the country. wednesday night a mob of students protested the firing of head football coach joe paterno who was removed by the board of trustees along with the university president graham span

now, the university did nothing except bar jerry sandusky from bringing any more kids from his second mile program into the football building and notify second mile. and second mile didn't bar sandusky from contact with kids. let me repeat that. sandusky's charity did not bar him from having contact with kids until 2008 when he notified them he was the subject of a grand jury investigation. yet many people knew or had reason to know about the 1998 and 2002 allegations, including, apparently, penn state general counsel wendell courtney, who reviewed the 1998 report on sandusky. that's according to the grand jury filing. now, at the time he was and remains counsel for, guess what, second mile. courtney claims that last part is mistaken, but a spokesman for the pennsylvania attorney general's office told the "pittsburgh post-gazette," quote, it is clear from the findings of the grand jury that mr. courtney had direct dealings with both penn state and the second mile and he acknowledged and was aware of the 1998 incident. so that's raising suspicions, was there a conflict of interest. als

if jerry sandusky's telling the truth, a graduate assistant comes to joe paterno, says i saw coach sandusky raping a child in the showers and joe paterno never says anything to the guy who was his heir apparent, the guy who work for him for 32 years? >> it's a failure to act, john. it's as fundamental as that. any parent, you wouldn't have to be a pardon to reach that conclusion. any parent would say he had a duty to act, a moral duty, a duty that comes with being a human being, being able to see that situation for what it was a child was threat. ed and a child was abused in that case. if all allegations are true. >> around what you propose, sir, want the congress to move quickly on, what would the penalty be for failing to report it? >> the legislation that we have would not be a criminal statue. what it would say is if you want your state and you want funding under the child abuse laws, federally, you would have to have in place a state law that made every adult a mandated reporter. that's basically what it would provide. now, states can enact criminal laws that would provide other protec

illustrious coaching career at penn state that jerry sandusky founded the second mile. its mission: helping young people, especially at-risk kids, achieve their potential. >> there's an opportunity to throw out a rip to some kids. >> reporter: from the start, sandusky was the charity's public face and primary fund-raiser. by 2010, the second mile was a $9 million operation. the its honorary board featuring the likes of hall of fame running back franco harris and golfing great arnold palmer. patti coble worked as a volunteer for ten years. >> and they all came back for the one reason: to help jerry sandusky, the second mile, and at risk children. and unfortunately we were feeding his habit. >> reporter: according to a 40-count indictment, the now 67-year-old sandusky befriended at least six of his alleged eight victims through the second mile beginning in 1994. p.a. pennsylvania attorney general linda kelly. >> this is a sexual predator accused of using his position in the community and university to prey on numerous young boys for more than a decade. >> reporter: the att

when jerry sandusky was brought before the judge dutchcot on 40 counts related to sexual abuse of children, prosecutors requested $500,000 bail and electronic leg monitoring system but judge dutchcot freed sandusky on $100,000 unsecured bail. no leg monitor. sandusky's preliminary hearing is december 7th. attorney general linda kelly said more charges are possible. in an interview from 1987, sandusky talked about the second mile charity he founded. >> how did it all start? >> basically because i'm a frustrated playground director, i guess. i enjoy being around children. i enjoy their enthusiasm. i just have a good time with them. i really enjoy the personal contact. i get a lot of personal contact in my life through my family, through our athletes. everybody needs people to care for them. sometimes they don't want it. sometimes they don't understand what you are trying to do but they want to be disciplined. one of the biggest things would be the trust that would be developed. what we are trying to be is a true friend. >> a ninth victim has come forward according to the lieutenant who heads
