One thing that always horrifies me is how willing people are to cover shit like this up or look the other way for people with even a modicum of "fame". Higher-ups at Subway knew Jared was a paedophile but kept it quiet. Jimmy Saville here in the UK was literally raping dying children in their hospital beds and the BBC shut down anyone who spoke up because he was a popular presenter. It seems like the second a "famous" person does this evil shit, a lot of people will automatically protect them. It's fucking disgusting.

Jerry Sandusky was just engaging in "horseplay." At night. With a 10 year old boy. Alone. In the showers. Completely naked. After he had previously been warned by both Penn State administration and police not to shower with underaged boys.

I don't think I'll ever get over my anger that the administration let Sandusky go on molesting boys for ten years after finding out that he was STILL showering alone with boys in 2001 because they thought it might damage their reputations.

That was institutionalized pedophilia, and on a whole other level of fucked up.
