Sandusky was paid $500,000 by Second Mile (Corbett As Att Gen was in charge of overseeing charities)

http://www.christianpost.com/news/jerry-sandusky-given-500000-from-youth-charity-during-time-of-child-rape-allegations-61628/

"Sandusky, the former Penn State coach who is accused of raping several young boys who participated in a charity he founded over a 15 year period, also pocketed nearly half a million dollars from the charity's donation coffers.

Between 2001 and 2008, the Second Mile paid Sandusky, who founded the charity in 1977, approximately $500,000 in “consultant” fees, according to federal files acquired by the Wall Street Journal. Many of the child molestation allegations Sandusky is facing occurred during this time.

The decisions to back away from Second Mile are not only a result of Sandusky's alleged actions, but also because several key figures in the charity were aware of rumors and investigations of child-molestation claims, but still maintained ties to the former Penn State coach, including paying him the consultant fees and giving him access to children.

Corbett started the Sandusky investigation in 2008 as attorney general in the state, and said on Thursday that there needs to be more information on what board members knew about Sandusky's actions."

Actually, he was probably paid much more - the media could only find records since 2001, but he was involved for a decade previously.

Pull Penn State's funding!

Idiot -- he could have deducted those fees from his taxes!
