A sportswriter claimed on Thursday that former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, who has been charged with more than 40 counts of sexual abuse, “pimped out” young boys to wealthy donors. While Mark Madden did not offer any facts to back up the claim, he wrote six months ago about Sandusky’s alleged sex crimes in the Beaver County Times, long before they were on anyone else’s radar. Madden also suggested on Thursday that Sandusky, who retired in 1999, was actually forced to leave his job “in exchange for a cover up.” Police had investigated Sandusky in 1998 for allegedly molesting a boy but did not prosecute him.
