Watched a documentary on a guy named Tood Hodne. Thirty years before the Sandusky sex scandal at Penn State there was a Penn State football player named Todd Hodne who raped at least 2 girls on different occasions while a member of the 1977-8 team. The investigation and trial was kept hush-hush by Penn State so as to avoid scandal. After he was convicted in Center County (where Penn State is located) he was incredulously granted bail by the presiding Judge before his sentencing and returned to his home on Long Island, NY, where he proceeded to rape 12 more young women before being caught. He was given a life sentence and recently died in prison in 2020. In a perhaps not so strange coincidence that Judge that reprimanded him to him parents custody in 1979 was a member of Penn State team and played for Joe Paterno years earlier. It was a pretty damning commentary about the influence of PSU in the community and how they attempt to cover up anything derogatory about the University and the PSU football program. The Sandusky scandal was to follow in 2008.
