Reply #11: Sandusky was not arrested in 1998

[alcibiades_mystery]

A report was investigated, and no charges were filed.

I think the discretion with which that report was investigated will become a key issue here, especially in the perjury charges for Curley and Schultz. It seems altogether possible that the University police detectives, State College police detectives, DA Gricar, and even Child Protective Services investigated the charges with a view toward limiting damage to Sandusky's reputation should the charges not pan out.

I think everybody - Curley, Schultz, Paterno, and Spanier - will claim they never heard boo about the 1998 charges.

Were the 1998 charges reported to TSM? Were they reported to the University administration? Those questions are not seemingly answered in the Presentment.

That said, I think TSM is the next on the chopping block here, and we're going to see who at that organization knew what and when fairly soon.
