Penn Staters for Responsible Stewardship know exactly what they want from the report released on Thursday by former FBI director an federal judge Louis Freeh.
University Trustees asked Freeh to head an internal investigation into the handling of molestation accusations against former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. The report comes out on Thursday at 9 a.m. on the internet, followed by a 10 a.m. news conference in Philadelphia.
- Watch the Penn State Investigation news conference Thursday at 10 a.m. on NBC Philadelphia NonStop on Comcast channel 248 or Verizon 460 or on NBC10.com.
- NBC10 crews will be live during all newscasts from State College, Scranton and Center City
The Penn State group was formed in the days after the Sandusky case began to unfold. Sandusky was convicted last month on 45 counts of child sexual abuse involving 10 boys.
In a news release on Wednesday the PSU supporters stated the group “expected the Freeh Report to answer the specific questions of: what happened, how did it happen and why did it happen.” Instead, they said Freeh conducted “a wide-ranging investigation into matters totally unrelated to Jerry Sandusky's behavior.”
“To that end, the organization has developed a comprehensive checklist of information that we not only expect -- but demand -- to be covered in the report, in order for it to be considered a credible, valid summary of the case, up to this point in time,” said the statement. “Additionally, we recognize and believe in the absolute necessity to complete the judicial process before any final conclusions can be reached."
