The sexual abuse case in Penn State's storied football program contains many kinds of stories, mixing human tragedy with sports, scandal, big personalities, and the inner workings of a large-scale institution. But it is also an in-house legal story, with an investigation attempting to unravel federal, state, and institutional laws and rules that are often separate, sometimes contradictory, and frequently overlapping.
