That, however, was at least the third time in 10 years that the organization had been made aware of allegations involving Sandusky's contacts with children. The organization knew in 1998 that Sandusky was investigated for alleged sexual misconduct in a Penn State shower involving a different boy from the program, according to a presentment by a statewide investigating grand jury.
State College lawyer Wendell V. Courtney was apprised of the investigation in 1998 because he was counsel for Penn State and the Second Mile. He has not responded to interview requests. That investigation, by university police, was closed when the Centre County District Attorney's Office decided not to file charges.
The Second Mile learned of another investigation involving Sandusky in 2002. In its statement, the agency said its chief executive officer, Jack Raykovitz, testified before the investigating grand jury that he had been told by Curley that an internal Penn State investigation found no corroboration for an allegation of inappropriate contact by Sandusky with a youth in a university locker room shower.

ETA: Looks like he was involved past 2008:

It wasn't until November 2008 that the program took steps to keep Sandusky away from children. "Mr. Sandusky informed the Second Mile that he had learned he was being investigated as a result of allegations made against him by an adolescent male in Clinton County, Pa.," the nonprofit said in a statement. "We immediately made the decision to separate him from all of our program activities involving children."
Sandusky, who retired as Penn State's defensive coordinator in 1999, was still affiliated with the Second Mile until he retired from there in September 2010.

So, they stopped him from interacting with children, but allowed him to leave the program on his own accord.
