For the 1998 Curley’s email to Schultz and Spanier that he has “touched base with” Paterno.

Where is that email in the Freeh report??? It doesn't name Paterno, does it???

Also days later Curley email to Shultz: “Anything new in this department? Coach is anxious to know where it stands”

"Coach" is Sandusky. When referring to Paterno he used the word "Joe". You can better believe that Coach Sandusky would be anxious to know where the prosecution stands.

Nothing in the report says what Paterno knew of the 1998 incident.

Exactly --

Plenty of evidence that Paterno was in the loop for the 2001 incident.

He notified his superior which was standard procedure. Sandusky no longer worked for Paterno or Penn State. It's not like he concealed the matter from those whose job it was to act on the information -- the higher ups.

It was up to Harmon, Schultz, Curley and Spanier to do something -- and the Board of the Second Mile. AND what did DA Ray Gricar know about it and do about it??? He was the real ennabler. Did Freeh discuss his failure to prosecute as part of the ennabling process.???

As I said before Paterno could have done a lot more and so could have the other people. One thing that the report showed over and over again that neither Paterno nor anyone else connected with the 2001 incident ever inquired into the well being of the child. Paterno took actions long after reporting the incident to his superiors as the emails and hand written notes show. Paterno even talked Spanier and Shultz out of reporting Sandusky to the authorities. In fact the Clery Act states what Paterno should have done. Paterno thought that Penn State had a better system and didn't need to adhere to the Clery Act system.

I want to find out about Gricar as well. Harmon, Schultz, Curley and Spanier will have their day in court too. It appears from the report that they reported more to Paterno or at least certainly had no control over him.

As for Paterno, the Freeh report spells out his lack of action. I guess you are right. Paterno didn't do anything.
