Former Penn State assistant coach Mike McQueary testified in 2015 that former Nittany Lions assistant coaches Greg Schiano and Tom Bradley were aware that Jerry Sandusky was abusing children. 

McQueary testified that when he told Bradley he had seen Sandusky abusing a boy in a Penn State shower, Bradley was “not shocked.” McQueary also said Bradley told him that Schiano had witnessed something similar

“I can’t remember if it was one night or one morning, but that Greg had come into [Bradley’s] office white as a ghost and said he just say Jerry doing something to a boy in the shower,” McQueary said in his deposition. “And that’s it. That’s all he ever told me.”

Schiano said Tuesday he was unaware of Sandusky’s abuse while at the school.
