Is it about to get much uglier for Penn State?

Did you hear the latest? The New York Daily News and CBS New have reported that the former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, convicted for sexually assaulting 10 boys last month, is being investigated by the FBI and U.S. Postal Inspection Service for trafficking in child pornography.

There is more than a hint that the trafficking could involve a pedophile ring involving men connected to the university, according to Radaronline.com, which broke the story.  According to the exclusive report, the ring involved a “prominent Penn State booster.”

The Chicago Tribune ran  a follow-up story over the weekend in its sports section, claiming “investigators are also seeking to determine if Sandusky sent “seductive letters” across state lines for sexual reasons.” The probe was initiated at the beginning of this year.

    This was reported earlier in the year by Mark Madden just as the scandal was breaking. He reported that it was multiple boosters.

    This story is far from over, it could end up at Governors mansion
