Joe Paterno’s family pledged Monday to launch its own investigation into the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal, saying ex-FBI Director Louie Freeh, who headed up the investigation, got it wrong, the Associated Press reports.
“Our interest has been and remains the uncovering of the truth,” the family said in a statement.
Saying Paterno, who died in January, did not knowingly protect a pedophile, the family criticized the accuracy of the 267-page report by former FBI Director Louis Freeh, the AP reported.
In the report, Freeh concluded that Paterno knew about allegations against Sandusky since at least 1998 and even intervened when top Penn State officials planned to take allegations to authorities in 2001.
