Huge bust in war old child pornography …

Europol has arrested 112 pedophiles encompassing 22 countries in connection with a child pornography ring. According to reports there have been a total of 269 suspects identified. As per the AP, the nations involved in the investigation were Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Croatia, Norway and Switzerland.

Europol says 112 people have been arrested in connection with a major investigation into child pornography that stretched across 22 European countries.

The European police coordination agency says there are 269 suspects in all in the investigation, which was carried out under the leadership of Danish police. Nineteen men aged 24 to 55 years old are facing preliminary charges in Denmark.

The investigation was known as “Operation Icarus,” targeted the worst of the worst and those sharing the most extreme and vile forms of video material, which included babies and toddlers being sexually abused and raped. GOOD GRIEF, COULD THIS BE ANY MORE VILE!

The yearlong “Operation Icarus” busted previously unknown networks of child sex offenders who were sharing the child pornography via a “peer-to-peer” system, a Europol spokesman reportedly said.

So much material was seized it will take months or even years to analyze, the Irish Times reported, adding that the material had been described as the “worst of the worst.”

Hollywoods Dirty Little Secret … Sexual Abuse of Children in Hollywood Just Tip of Iceberg

How morally bankrupt is and has Hollywood been over the decades? It is not just about the immorality of the adult actors and actresses, what is most concerning and alarming is the continued crimes against children …

Child sex abuse isn’t just taking place on college campuses like Penn St and Syracuse University. The recent wave of child sex allegations is pointing the spotlight on Hollywood and it appears that the sexual abuse might be widespread. The recent child sex allegations against Hollywood manager Martin Weiss, award winning composer for “Sesame Street” Fernando Rivas, and registered sex offender casting agent Jason James Murphy is said to be just the tip of the iceberg of sexual abuse crimes against children.

If a spate of recent allegations proves true, Hollywood may have a hideous epidemic on its hands. The past two weeks have brought three separate reports of alleged child sexual abuse in the entertainment industry.

Martin Weiss, a 47-year-old Hollywood manager who represented child actors, was charged in Los Angeles on Dec. 1 with sexually abusing a former client. His accuser, who was under 12 years old during the time of the alleged abuse, reported to authorities that Weiss told him “what they were doing was common practice in the entertainment industry.” Weiss has pleaded not guilty.

Should it really come as a surprise to anyone how morally bankrupt and little concern about sexual abuse crimes against children really is in Hollywood when Roman Polanski was allowed to skate free on rape charges. How long has child sex abuse crimes been going on in Hollywood and why has nothing ever been done to stop the heinous crime?

Syracuse Sex Scandal: Home of Coach Bernie Fine Searched by Police & U.S. Secret Service

Bring in the Feds …

Officers from the US Secret Service, Syracuse police and the US Attorney’s General office have combined forces to search the home of Syracuse University assistant coach Bernie Fine in DeWitt, NY in connection with the accusations of sexual misconduct allegations. Fine’s home was reportedly searched by the Feds for some 7 hours yesterday; however, no official comment was made as regards to the reason for the search, the investigation or any discoveries. The feds have obviously been called in as the allegations of sexual molestation have to have crossed state lines and federal charges could be made in the future.

New York State Police spokesman Jack Keller said troopers were called to assist the U.S. attorney’s office at the search. According to The Post-Standard newspaper, officers from the U.S. Secret Service and Syracuse police were part of the search team.

Assistant U.S. Attorney William Pericak said he “can’t confirm or deny” an investigation.

“We don’t comment on whether or not search warrants are being executed — we only comment at the time of public events,” Pericak said. “I’m not saying there was or wasn’t one here. But when you get a search warrant that’s sealed, it remains sealed until a court unseals it.”

He said the goal is to avoid “a trial in the press.”

Bobby Davis and his stepbrother Mike Lang, two former ball boys for the Syracuse basketball team, have alleged that they were molested more than 25 years ago by Fine. Presently, Fine is on administrative leave and has denied the charges,  stating the claims of sexual molestation are “patently false.”

US Rep. Dale Kildee (D-Mich.) Accused by Family Members of Sexually Abusing His Second Cousin 50 Years Ago

YIKES, if it sadly occurs at colleges, why would we not think it happens in politics as well …

The family of Rep. Dale Kildee (D-Mich.) is accusing the Congressman of sexually abusing his second cousin over 50 years ago. Patrick Kildee, who was a 12 at the time of the first disturbing allegations of abuse, was said to have endured separate instances of sexual molestation for 5 years at the hands of his cousin.

Rep. Dale Kildee (D-Mich.) is denying accusations from family members that he sexually abused an underage male relative over 50 years ago. Kildee’s office released a statement on Sunday evening in which he blames family members trying to blackmail him and Republicans for the false accusations. Kildee called the allegations ‘false and shameful’.

“The allegations against me are completely false and shameful.  I regret having to air all of this in public, but I feel like I have no choice.  This is a concerted effort by distant relatives, two of whom have a long history of mental illness and multiple run-ins with the law, along with political adversaries to destroy my reputation by lying about something that never took place more than 50 years ago. Republicans tried to peddle these scurrilous allegations during my last congressional race and authorities and reputable news outlets rejected these false allegations.

Now they are back at it again to try to win an open congressional seat.  These allegations resurfaced recently when the accuser’s son asked me for money and federal benefits, which I refused to do and which I formally reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation … (read the rest HERE)

We shall see how this plays out. The Congressman claims he is being blackmailed; however, one wonders what he can be blackmailed for at this point of his career. We have seen recently in the wake of the Penn State and Syracuse child sex scandals just how damning and destructive, if true, these heinous scandals can be.

Not Again … Syracuse Asst Coach Bernie Fine Accused of Molesting Two Ball Boys (Bobby Davis & Mike Lang) … Fine Placed on Leave

The shock and disgust has not even subsided in the Penn State child sex scandal and it would appear that we might have another at a prominent college.

As reported by ESPN, ‘Outside the Lines’, two former Syracuse University basketball ball boys, Bobby Davis & Mike Lang, have accused assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine of sexual molestation. According to accounts, the Syracuse police are now investigating the allegations. Davis stated that the molestation began in 1984 and took place at Fine’s home, Syracuse University facilities and on basketball road trips. What will this investigation bring?  These original allegations were presented and investigated in 2003, however, ESPN and other media outlets  did not report the story because there were no corroborating witnesses. Now there is one. We saw Penn State University get savaged by their sex scandal, is Syracuse on the clock?  Fine has been placed on administrative leave as the investigation continues.

Two former Syracuse University ball boys say they were molested by associate head basketball coach Bernie Fine, starting in the late 1970s and continuing into the 1990s.

Police in Syracuse said they have opened an investigation into the allegations. And in a statement Thursday night, Syracuse said it has placed Fine on administrative leave.

One alleged victim, Bobby Davis, now 39, told Outside the Lines that Fine molested him beginning in 1984, shortly before Davis entered the seventh grade. Davis, the team’s ball boy for six years beginning in 1984, said the abuse occurred at Fine’s home, at the Syracuse basketball facilities, and on road trips, including the 1987 Final Four.

Former Penn State Defensive Coach Jerry Sandusky Admits Showering & Horsing Around with Little Boys but says He is Not a Pedophile

This story might be one of the biggest WTF ever!!!

Good grief, Jerry Sandusky’s comments sound an awful lot like,  I smoked pot but I never inhaled.

Sandusky has admitted to showering and horsing around with young boys, in an interview with NBC’s Bob Costas; however, he denied being a pedophile. What a relief  that is to everyone, because we all thought you were. Now we, the boys your showered with and their distraught parents can sleep easy tonight. NOT!!!  Sandusky also proclaimed his innocence of the 40 sex crime charges against him. This perv is in enough trouble, doing an interview was probably not the wisest of moves. I think damage control is a lit late at this point. As stated at Hot Air, “isn’t it weird that a guy who was investigated for child sexual abuse in 1998 was still willing to risk people getting the wrong impression about him four years later?”  Because I am sure what grad student McQueary  witnessed  was only Sandusky showering with a 10 year old boy and not child rape. Oh, alleged child rape.

“I say that I am innocent of those charges,” said Sandusky in a phone interview with Costas.

When asked by Costas, “Are you a pedophile,” Sandusky responded, “No.”

Joe Paterno’s one-time defensive coordinator was charged earlier this month with 40 counts of sexually abusing eight boys. He is currently free on a $100,000 bond and has denied any wrongdoing. The allegations date back to 1994, according to a grand jury report. A grand jury report detailed claims of alleged sexual encounters with young boys in Sandusky’s home, hotels and Penn State locker rooms.

“I could say that I have done some of those things. I have horsed around with kids I have showered after workouts. I have hugged them and I have touched their legs without intent of sexual contact,” said Sandusky.

When pressed by Costas about what Sandusky was willing to concede that he’d done wrong, Sandusky said: “I shouldn’t have showered with those kids.”

No kidding, really? Has it finally come as an epiphany to Sandusky that he should not have showered with little boys, SERIOUSLY!!! This pervert showered with little boys, hugged and touched them … oh but of course there was no intent of sexual contact. PLEASE DO NOT INSULT OUR INTELLIGENCE!!! We are all certain that you just showered and touched them to make sure they properly used the soap.

Success with Honor Needs a Fresh Start … An Open Letter to Penn State University President Rodney Erickson in Wake of Child Sex Scandal

“Success with Honor” needs to be a reality at Penn State with the coaches and administrators, not just a catch phrase for the students to live by.

In the wake of the hideous child sex scandal, Penn State’s “Success with Honor” might be in need of a fresh clean slate. There is going to be a complete image change required at State College in Happy Valley, where the words of integrity, commitment and loyalty have to be reevaluated. Especially that loyalty one, that appears to be at the heart of the issue of the cover up of the alleged child sex crimes of former defensive PSU coach Jerry Sandusky.

It would appear that a new image is required at Penn State, read the following open letter to interim Penn State President Rodney Erickson. First, get a PR firm.

Once retained, have the agency facilitate meetings through their agents with Bill Parcells and Bill Cowher immediately.  Specify no leaks to the press until after they occur and by mutual agreement.   Cowher may be the low hanging fruit on this one,  he is returning to CBS next year.

If neither is interested in a head coach commitment of an 8-1 Big Ten team, follow their recommendations about who to contact next and ask them; beg if necessary, if they would be willing to consider a consulting gig for the recruitment process.  Urban Myer is a fine coach and leader, but regardless of who PSU ultimately chooses, efforts to rebuild the PSU brand must start with a nationally recognizable face of a trusted and respected winner, like yesterday.

Champions attract champions and without that, it is like asking collegiate coaching candidates to walk into the lion’s den (pun intended) wearing a raw steak necklace.  You will not even get one to tour Lasche, trust me on this.

This strategy would likely also include a public facing spokesperson effort, and worth every penny if that is all you can get a commitment for from either coach.

Pay them to sit in the lobby.  Pay them to ride the elevator a few times, but get them on grounds.  Pay them to have a motivational meeting with the team.

RUMOR? Mark Madden Says, Former Penn St Coach Jerry Sandusky ‘Pimping Out Young Boys to Rich Donors

Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy … unless you are former Penn St defensive coordinator, according to Pittsburgh radio host Mark Madden.

YIKES, this is a rumor, but if true, WOW!!! Pittsburgh radio host Mark Madden delivered some bombshells regarding Penn State, Jerry Sandusky and what he was doing with young boys. Watch and listen to the VIDEO here. It would seem that this is going to get a lot more ugly, if possible.

“I can give you a rumor and I can give you something I think might happen,” Madden told John Dennis and Gerry Callahan. “I hear there’s a rumor that there will be a more shocking development from the Second Mile Foundation — and hold on to your stomachs, boys, this is gross, I will use the only language I can — that Jerry Sandusky and Second Mile were pimping out young boys to rich donors. That was being investigated by two prominent columnists even as I speak.”

To read the grand jury transcript would make one sick, as the Lonely Conservative called it “horrific”. However, it is about to get much worse as the dominoes start to fall and every rat looks to make a deal to cover their ass in this hideous child sex abuse scandal. In my opinion, I am trying to figure out how a 28 year old grad student witnesses a child rape and does nothing but call daddy and tell Joe Pa the following day. How does that individual not step in and stop the rape? It turns out that Mike McQueary won’t coach Saturday. Um, why would he ever be allowed to coach there ever? Sorry, just like Paterno and the rest that have been fired or arrested, you did not even come close to doing enough.

Penn State assistant coach Mike McQueary will miss Saturday’s game against No. 19 Nebraska after the school said he received “multiple threats.”

McQueary testified in a grand jury investigation that eventually led to child sex-abuse charges being filed against former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. The ensuing scandal brought down longtime coach Joe Paterno, who was fired by the university on Wednesday amid growing criticism that he should have done more to stop the alleged abuse.

They say the cover up is worse than the crime. Not in this case, although the cover up was disgusting, when we hear the stories and the truth of what occurred, the crime is going to look, in a word beyond horrific.  its only a matter of time before child porn comes into this story and child porn rings. In the immortal words of anyone who follows sex crimes against children, there is no such thing as a one time child rapist and for every sexually abused child that is discovered, there are far too many that are never known.

Sad Day in Happy Valley: Penn State Board of Trustees … Joe Paterno Out Immediately as Head Coach … PSU President Graham Spanier Also Out

JOE PA OUT!!! … SAD DAY IN HAPPY VALLEY.

ITS OFFICIAL … JOE PATERNO OUT EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY AS PENN STATE HEAD COACH …

The Penn State Board of Trustees have spoken, the Joe Paterno coaching era ends in disgrace. Earlier in the day Paterno said that he would retire at the end of the years amidst the child sex scandal. Paterno was in tears and his football team in disbelief, the end of an era was over.  He stated that “at this moment the Board of Trustees should not spend a single minute discussing my status.” However, that was not the case. The Board decided to terminate Paterno effective immediately. However, it was only inevitable, the domino’s were beginning to fall. 61 years on the sidelines and  46 years as head coach of the Nittany Lions all over because of a lapse in judgment and not doing the right thing when it came to a child predator.

Fade to black … Joe is Out

Penn State football coach Joe Paterno was fired late Wednesday night as the result of a growing child-sex scandal that has engulfed the program. The move is effective immediately meaning he will never coach for the school again.

The board of trustees also fired Penn State president Graham Spanier amid the growing questionable behavior and cover up of the child sex scandal at the hands of one time PSU defensive coordinator and assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. Spanier has been president of the school since 1995. You knew Spanier was toast when he threw his full support behind the two PSU officials that were arrested, rather that showing outrage of the incident.

“My son is extremely distraught, and now to see how we were betrayed, words cannot tell you. To see that Graham Spanier is putting his unconditional support behind Curley and Shultz when he should be putting his support behind the victims, it just makes them victims all over again.”

What a sad, tragic and pathetic end to a college football coaching icon. Joe Paterno, the winningest coach in Division I NCAA football leaves the game in disgrace following the child sex abuse scandal that has rocked Happy Valley and Penn State.  How could it have come to this? Honestly, as a long time Paterno fan and having known individuals that have attended PSU, I am stunned. How could a hideous pedophile like Jerry Sandusky have brought down such a beloved man like JOE PA? Oh sorry, alleged hideous, pig SOB pedophile Sandusky. If there is any justice, Sandusky will get his in the State Penn that he did to little boys at Penn State.  Also, how could anyone at Penn State, including Paterno, have not done more to protect the children and not covered up this terrible crime? Did they think it would be forever just swept under the rug?

What a sad day and a terrible lapse of judgment on the part of Joe Paterno. Shock and Awe hits Penn State. 409 wins and 24 bowl wins was not enough to save the job of coaching legend Joe Paterno.  PSU college students take to the streets in support of Joe Pa; however, there were some that did not and openly stated that Joe was not the victim.

Statement from Joe Paterno:

“I am disappointed with the Board of Trustees’ decision, but I have to accept it.

A tragedy occurred, and we all have to have patience to let the legal process proceed. I appreciate the outpouring of support but want to emphasize that everyone should remain calm and please respect the university, its property and all that we value. (snip)
