Here is Louis Freeh’s report released, today, July 12, 2012 regarding Penn State’s handling of reports it received that Coach Jerry Sandusky was molesting children. Freeh, a former director of the FBI, was tasked by the Penn State Board of Trustees on Nov. 11 to investigate the University’s failure to appropriately respond to allegations that former football Coach Gerald A. Sandusky sexually abused children
What Freeh found is the perfect illustration of the phrase banality of evil.

The pdf of the entire report can be found here.
It should be noted that while Freeh’s scope was limited to the University, the report notes the slowness of the Unviersity Police Department in investigating a 1998 allegation of a child molestation by Sandusky and the unwillingness of the Centre County District Attorney’s office to pursue matter.
And, while not in the report, it should be noted that the D.A. at the time Ray Gricar, would disappear in 2005 shortly after announcing that the would not run for re-election. Imagine that, a major law enforcement figure disappears and there is barely a ripple in the state’s media.
And while not in the report, it should also be noted that the Sandusky matter was not the only instance of a allegation of a homosexual child molestion coverup involving Penn State and its president Graham Spanier.
