JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour): And to the sexual abuse scandal that is rocking Penn State University and its renowned football program.
Margaret Warner has our report.
FRANK NOONAN, Pennsylvania State Police: This is not a case about football. It's not a case about universities. It's a case about children who have had their innocence stolen from them and a culture that did nothing to stop it or prevent it from happening to others.
MARGARET WARNER (Newshour): As the Pennsylvania State Police commissioner told it today, that innocence was stolen by Jerry Sandusky, former longtime defensive coordinator for Penn State's Nittany Lions football team. He was arrested Saturday on 40 counts of child sexual abuse after a three-year grand jury investigation.
Two top Penn State administrators, Athletic Director Tim Curley and Senior Vice President Gary Schultz, were arraigned today on charges that they didn't report the abuse to authorities and that they lied to the grand jury.
