STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Penn State president Eric Barron said in an open letter Sunday morning that he was “appalled” by the recent “rush to judgment” on Joe Paterno, whom recent reports allege knew about the abuse of convicted child-molester Jerry Sandusky as far back as the 1970s.
The letter, which was published on the university’s official website, said that Penn State had no evidence that an early sexual assault was ever communicated to Paterno. Barron also wrote that the accusations are not established fact and, as such, should not be treated that way.
