The town of State College, Pennsylvania, home to Penn State University, was once renowned as Happy Valley, with Joe Paterno, the head coach of the school's iconic football team, at its helm for over 40 years. His program was celebrated not only for its on-field success but also for its students' academic achievements, earning Paterno the nickname "Saint Joe." However, in November 2011, everything changed when Assistant Coach Jerry Sandusky was charged with 40 counts of child sex abuse, sparking a firestorm of accusations about who failed to protect the children of Happy Valley.
