Joe Paterno’s Son Denies Allegation That The Coach Knew Of Sandusky Abuse As Early As 1976

Joe Paterno’s son says an allegation made by insurers that a boy told the longtime Penn State football coach in 1976 that he had been molested by former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky is “bunk.” In a tweet sent early Friday morning, Scott Paterno says that “it would be great if everyone waited to see the substance of the allegation before they assume it’s true.”
