PSU taps ex-FBI director Freeh for investigation
Sunday, November 20, 2011
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Former FBI director Louis Freeh is promising a thorough, independent investigation into policies and activities at Penn State that relate to the child sex-abuse allegations against former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
Freeh said Monday that his investigation will go beyond the timeframe laid out in a grand jury report released earlier this month. The report alleges a series of sexual assaults by Sandusky, some on Penn State's campus.
Freeh vowed to investigate activities stretching back to the mid-1970s.
Retired Air Force Col. and astronaut Guion Bluford will be part of the investigation. Bluford is a 1964 Penn State graduate.
Sandusky has denied sexual contact with children but acknowledged showering with boys and embracing them.
