Report on Penn State's response to Sandusky accusation due Thursday Gary Cameron / Reuters file Former FBI Director Louis Freeh was hired in November to determine whether Penn State University officials knew about child sex abuse allegations against former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. By Mike Brunker, msnbc.com The results of an internal investigation of Pennsylvania State University's response to child sexual abuse allegations against former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky will be made public on Thursday. An announcement Tuesday indicated a report on the investigation led by former FBI chief Louis Freeh would be posted online Thursday at 9 a.m. It said Freeh would hold a news conference an hour later to discuss its findings and recommendations. "We look forward to seeing the report on Thursday and reviewing Judge Freeh's recommendations," said Penn State spokesman David La Torre. The university will provide a response in Scranton on Thursday at a time and location to be announced. Sandusky, 68, was found guilty of 45 counts of child sexual abuse last month and is currently in prison awaiting sentencing. He faces a maximum sentence of more than 400 years in prison. Freeh was hired by the university in November to review of the university's dealings with Sandusky and its response to a 2001 report that he sexually abused of a boy in a Penn State shower room, an incident witnessed by football assistant Michael McQueary. Former Penn State President Graham Spanier has come under particular scrutiny in recent weeks amid news reports suggesting that he was made aware of suspicious activity involving Sandusky in 2001 and that no report of the incident was made to authorities. Citing emails obtained by Freeh's investigators, CNN reported last week that Spanier and two other university officials - Gary Schultz, the former senior vice president of finance and business, and Tim Curley, the athletic director on administrative leave - agreed to take a "humane" approach in dealing with Sandusky following his alleged sexual encounter with a boy. Instead of reporting the incident to police, according to the report, administrators instead planned to ask Sandusky to seek counseling and said they would tell officials at the Second Mile, the charity he founded and where he met many of the children he would later abuse, about their concerns.

"At no time in the more than 16 years of his presidency at Penn State was Dr. Spanier told of an incident involving Jerry Sandusky that described child abuse, sexual misconduct or criminality of any kind, and he reiterated that during his interview with Louis Freeh and his colleagues," Spanier's attorneys, Peter Vaira and Elizabeth Ainslie, said in a written statement. In addition, Freeh's report is expected to include information about the actions of former head football coach Joe Paterno in the wake of McQueary's allegations. The Sandusky scandal led to the ouster of Spanier and Paterno and charges against Curley, who is on leave from the university, and Schultz, who has since retired. The latter two are accused of perjury for their grand jury testimony and failing to properly report suspected child abuse. Paterno died of lung cancer in January at 85.
