Former Penn State assistant coach Mike McQueary, one of the key witnesses in the Jerry Sandusky scandal at Penn State, claimed to some anonymous Penn State wide receivers that he too was abused. According to a report by ESPN The Magazine, McQueary cleared the air during a meeting with Penn State receivers just three days after the release of a grand jury presentment detailing the information discovered in an investigation that would rip through the Penn State community.
It is not known whether McQueary was abused. It is only known that he told players he was a victim of abuse at a time when his decision to leave the locker room without stopping Sandusky was being criticized in State College and beyond, including by Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett.
“It made it even more personal for him,” one of the players said.
The report does not say when McQueary was allegedly abused or when the abuse may have happened. According to the grand jury presentment, McQueary witnessed former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky in a football building shower with a young boy. Startled by what he saw, McQueary later went to former Penn State head coach Joe Paterno in an attempt to discuss what he saw and how to handle it.
