Mike McQueary

Mike McQueary is a former Penn State University football assistant coach who became known for his role in a major scandal involving the university’s football program and allegations of child sexual abuse by former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. In 2001, McQueary witnessed inappropriate behavior between Sandusky and a young boy in a shower and later reported it to his superiors. His decision not to directly report the incident to law enforcement sparked significant controversy and debate about moral responsibility, ultimately leading to a public outcry, a high-profile trial, and significant consequences for the university and its leadership.
