Sworn Complaint Ignored by Police, School Officials 05/31/2010. http://www.ydr.com/ci_15198326

Sex Assault Victims "Fell Through the Cracks" 5.18.2010. Charles Koons was sentenced to spend 35-100 years in prison for molesting 16 boys in Dauphin County. But court records CBS21News obtained say there were other reports made decades ago from former Milton Hershey Students + the reports were never fully investigated. According to the court records, one former Milton Hershey Student said when he reported the crime to Derry Township Police + Milton Hershey School staff. He says they didn't believe him.
Charles Koons of Middletown is in prison for abusing at least 16 boys. Police say the molestation started in 2004. But, Dauphin County Assistant DA, Sean McCormack, says Koons could've been caught earlier. Court records show that 20 years ago, a Milton Hershey student fell victim to Koons' ways. He was just 8 at the time and says he wasn't the only one. Then, 9 years later he told his mother who told Derry Township Police and school officials. But it wasn't until 2008, that Koons was charged w molesting children, but not those at Milton Hershey. McCormack says that if Koons had been arrested 20 years ago for the alleged sex crimes at Milton Hershey, his other victims in Middletown may have been spared. "You never know. In a perfect world yes. You would say that yes if they were able to arrest him and convict him back in 1998, hopefully, none of the victims that had to deal with what they dealt with in 2000s would ever have been victimized," said Sean McCormack, Dauphin County Assistant District Attorney.
Derry Township Police were unavailable to explain why Koons wasn't arrested then + what happened w the Milton Hershey investigation.
The Dauphin County District Attorneys Office believes there are many more victims + would like them to come forward. http://www.whptv.com/mostpopular/story/Sex-assault-victims-may-have-fallen-th... + http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2010/05/cops_abuse_of_milton_hersh...

Former friend talks about the abuse endured in recent articles. "Theres been some speculation out there, including in adoption land, about what made Joe Stack climb into his Piper Cherokee and slam it into an Austin office tower. In a twist of fate both Stack and his victim, IRS worker Vernon Hunter, suffered the loss of original parents. Reader Kleine Schneeglöckchen has sent us this article written anonymously by an old friend of Joe Stack for The FBM. The two attended the Milton Hershey School in Hershey, Pennsylvania, I cant remember what year Andy entered the Home (what we called Milton Hershey). The Home was what we, the children who were enrolled there, called it. Milton Hershey officials refer to alumni from these years (1969-1975) as the lost years, because many of us want no contact because of things, horrible things that that happened to us during those years.These people were parents in word onlyin many cases house parents provided a loveless environment. There was no affection, no support, no nurturing of young boys. We, the boys who lived there, all felt like we were brothers because we had no one else. We were all orphans and had forged bonds of brotherhood that could not be broken by anyone. We all fought the good fight and backed up each other in ways Im sure many would see as covert. We retaliated in ways that were more humorous than harmful against the school officials and house parents who were abusive." http://osolomama.wordpress.com/2010/02/21/joe-stack-backing-a-man-into-a-corner/

Protect the Hersheys' Children sent 9 pg letter to IRS, Pa Dept of Banking, 2 U.S. Senate Finance Comm members. Group says board is violating laws governing non-profits; pay themselves around $2K / hour for "charitable work"

  • If you research members you'll find intern'l banking ties + related including Dutch, Dubai, Goldman Sachs, Credit Swiss + on + on. This smells worse than a pile of shit because that is exactly what it is. Research Cavanagh or any of them. It will open your eyes. Trusts involve nefarious relationships protected from plain view - profit spiderwebs that spread worldwide. No wonder the depth of the sex scandal is being COVERED UP.

  • Boys Town, Bernie Fine, Spanier, Sandusky, Barney Frank....pedophile rings galore....see the Johnny Gosch story to see how much of this is connected for decades all the way up the chain. Who is Jeff Gannon folks?

  • omfg. i was thinking of going to this school. if you been here, PLEASE tell me the truth of what school was like here.

  • this school is HORRIBLE. it should just get shut down already!

  • Once again, may I ask why this was necessary to post?

  • I attended MHS in the 1980's. House parents were incredibly abusive. I finally convinced my grandparents to get me out of there.

  • D: Omg I just graduated from there....I never knew this went on. ._. I'm so glad I came out fine....well aside from the bullshit they put us through daily. 9_9

  • My heart goes out to the victims who weren't believed. My heart goes out to all of his victims.

  • Subtlety is Astonishing: The name of the school is right in our faces. The writing literally on the wall! HERSHEYS. Yet in this very good report, NO mention of the tie to the corporation. That's the culture of corporate protection we are brainwashed in: corporations are untouchable, they do this literally right in front of us, and sign their name too!

  • Good God!

    When this type of thing becomes public, we know how careless these corrupt corporations can be. This tells us there is so, so much dirt reaching to the farthest ends of the earth. The child trafficking by chocolate industry in Africa-a huge operation-is obviously just the tip of the iceberg here.
