The son of Joe Paterno, the legendary Penn State football coach and boss of convicted child sex abuser Jerry Sandusky, said in a new book that he was propositioned by a pedophile - possibly a university professor who molested a series of boys - at age 13.
"I told no one in my family what had happened to me. I feared that I'd be judged," Jay Paterno wrote in the book.
Paterno says his father was conservative, even clueless about sex, and speculates that might have influenced how he handled Sandusky. He tells a story about his father wondering aloud at a coaches meeting how two of his players could have had sex with a Penn State coed, who had filed a complaint, at the same time.
On a walk with his son in the last months of his life, the elder Paterno expressed puzzlement about Sandusky’s rape of boys and said he never knew it was going on.
"Jay, he fooled me," the coach is quoted in the book as telling his son.
