UCLA defensive coordinator Tom Bradley knew of Jerry Sandusky abuse, documents reveal

Documents unsealed by a Pennsylvania court Tuesday unveiled testimony that UCLA defensive coordinator Tom Bradley, a former Penn State assistant coach, knew of Jerry Sandusky‘s sexual abuse of boys as early as the 1980s.

In a 2015 deposition, former Penn State assistant Mike McQueary, a main witness in the case who reported to then-head coach Joe Paterno that he had seen Sandusky raping a boy in 2001, said Bradley was not shocked after hearing about the crime.

The deposition continues to state that when McQueary told Bradley about the abuse, Bradley told him Greg Schiano, a former Penn State assistant and current Ohio State defensive coordinator, came to him in the early 1990s “about a very similar situation to (McQueary’s)” and that someone in the early ’80s told him of Sandusky’s misconduct with boys.
