Jerry Sandusky Scandal
Jerry Sandusky, a former Penn State football coach and founder of the Second
Mile, was convicted of 45 charges of child sex abuse. “The indictment alleges that former
Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky used The Second Mile — the charity he founded in
1977 — to get access to and molest boys, “many of whom were vulnerable due to their
social situations.” (Ganim, 2011) Jerry Sandusky still had access to Penn State’s Athletic
buildings and took most victims to Penn State for training, etc. The actions of Sandusky
destroyed to perception of two prominent organizations, Penn State Football and The
Second Mile.
Impact
The Second Mile was the perfect pool for Jerry Sandusky to prey on children.
The charity was designed to help troubled youth, who normally came from low-income,
single parent households. Some of the children had absolutely no stability at home.
“Second Mile operates under the slogan “providing children with help and hope.” The
main goal has always been helping kids overcome whatever adversity the world has
thrown their way.” (Daniels, 2017) Sandusky’s victims found a sense of belonging and
security at the Second Mile and that made it easy for Sandusky to victimize the youth.
The impact that this scandal had on the community that surrounded Penn State
was huge. The Second Mile was designed to help troubled youth, normally from low
income, single parent homes, do good for themselves and keep them out of trouble. The
conviction of Jerry Sandusky on charges of child sex abuse ruined the charity, leaving
these troubled youth nowhere to turn.

Jerry Sandusky Scandal
Changes
Since the allegations aired, the Second Mile has been performing damage control.
Many key supporters and financial contributors have walked away, acknowledging that
they do not want to be associated with the charity any further. The community, that once
heralded Jerry Sandusky for his stellar work with troubled youth, has turned their backs
on the charity. Most people wonder who else knew about the abuse and stayed quiet. The
Second Mile, a charity so much larger than Jerry Sandusky, a charity that did so much
good for the community and helped so many troubled youths, has bee dissolved. One
man’s wrongdoing destroyed a striving charity that saved the lives of so many youths.
The Second Mile attempted to keep its doors open following the scandal, but
many financial backers walked away and lawsuits against it were filed. One lawsuit filed
against the Second Mile was by Penn State University. Jerry Sandusky, a former Penn
State football coach still had access to the Penn State campus buildings, which is where
most of the abuse occurred. Therefore, Penn State settled with well over 30 victims,
totaling more than $100 million dollars. Penn State’s lawsuit against the Second Mile, to
recover some of the money they paid out to victims was recently dismissed by the judge.
The Second Mile charity still exists, but in Texas.
Perspectives
The perspectives regarding race or ethnicity have not been affected by this
incident. Maybe, the idea of sending your child to a charity like the Second Mile for
guidance has been affected. The idea of sleep over athletic camps at Penn State and other
college campuses were affected. Therefore, funds coming into Penn State Athletics
suffered greatly.

Jerry Sandusky Scandal
Many alumni chose to distance themselves from the football team and have
stopped supporting them. Other alumni looked the other and have vowed to support Penn
State through it all.
