Joe Paterno’s family is urging the FBI to release all records related to the Penn State child sex-abuse scandal, saying select emails are being leaked to smear the reputation of the deceased coach, the Associated Press reports.
Those emails suggested Paterno and his coaching staff knew Jerry Sandusky took a shower with at least one boy since 2001.
Family attorney Wick Sollers says the leaked emails were used to “manipulate public opinion.”
Paterno died of cancer less than three months after he was fired.
Sandusky was convicted of 45 counts of sexually abusing 10 boys.
