Syracuse cops knew of sex-abuse allegations against coach

Bernie Fine Syracuse Coach

Syracuse police knew of sex-abuse allegations against a Syracuse University basketball coach back in 2002 but were unable to arrest him because the statute of limitations had run out, the city's police chief said Tuesday. Then police Chief Dennis DuVal, who himself was a Syracuse basketball player in the 1970s, was aware of accusations against assistant coach Bernie Fine, current Syracuse police Chief Frank Fowler said in a statement. Fine, who has been fired, denies the allegations.

 

Police: No record of McQueary reporting alleged sexual assault by Sandusky at Penn State

Penn State campus police and their counterparts in State College said Wednesday that they had no record of Mike McQueary reporting an alleged sexual assault by Jerry Sandusky on a 10-year-old boy in a campus shower. The details ran counter to McQueary’s claims in an e-mail to former teammates and made available to the Associated Press this week.

Senh: Apparently, McQueary reported it to his superiors, but they did not think it necessary to tell the police.
