A psychologist warned Penn State university police in 1998 that former coach Jerry Sandusky's actions fit that of a “likely pedophile’s pattern,” NBC News' Michael Isikoff reported. That assessment, more than a decade before Sandusky was charged with child sex abuse, was contained in documents published by NBC News on Sunday, including the police report.
The finding by State College, Pa., psychologist Dr. Alycia A. Chambers, the therapist for one of Sandusky’s alleged victims, was contained in the internal Penn State files of a 1998 police investigation of the former coach for showering and bear hugging her client and another young boy in the school’s athletic locker room, NBC News reported.
