Penn State University has removed a now infamous bronze statue of the late head coach Joe Paterno following a scathing report that found Paterno and other school officials covered up child molestation. A recent investigation found Paterno and three others hid the sexual molestation allegations against assistant coach Jerry Sandusky 14 years before they finally came to light. On Sunday, work crews removed a bronze statue of Paterno outside the school’s football stadium. In a statement, Penn State said: “Were it to remain, the statue will be a recurring wound to the multitude of individuals across the nation and beyond who have been the victims of child abuse.”
