(Pittsburgh Tribune-Review) Revelations that convicted pedophile Jerry Sandusky molested boys while showering with them on the Penn State campus has prompted at least one local school district to build separate shower facilities for coaches and referees.
“This decision is a direct result of the Sandusky scandal,” said Charles Baker, superintendent of the Bentworth School District in Washington County. “Our athletic director, who deals directly with a number of referees, brought their concerns to our attention.
“We felt that creating a separate facility was a prudent way to protect our student athletes as well as the coaches and refs,” Baker said.
