Big deal. It was two day's after he was told. Paterno never even tried to find the child or to ensure the child's well being. Paterno called the athletic director to alert him that Sandusky was at it again and there was a witness this time. The emails and notes show that what took place next was a cover-up. Sandusky still had access to the showers after 2001 and was still bringing children to football practices and games. Sandusky raped a child before the Alamo bowl using tickets given to him by Paterno.
I'm not buying that Paterno didn't know what was going on. Several janitors said that they knew what Sandusky was doing in the football team's showers but were afraid of Paterno.
I own apartment buildings. I have rented to people who turned out later to be criminals. I evicted them. If I saw them hanging around the buildings today I would call the police.
Paterno let Sandusky bring children to football practice and games for years after 2001. Sandusky was also convicted of raping boys at Penn. State in 2002 and 2003. There wasn't a third party to witness those attacks so Joe Paterno didn't need to call the A.D. in 2002 and 2003 to try to sweep it under the rug.
I think there are other coaches and players who know what Sandusky was doing as well. I think there are people at the Second Mile who knew as well. Those people are still sticking their heads in the sand.
That's the most bothersome part of it all and that he has never been located.

It wasn't much of a cover-up, was it??? A lot of people at Happy Valley accepted it, joked about it, made ice cream cones about it,....

Supposedly they were notified in 2001 -- and most of the molestations occurred after that and were of Second Mile children.
The longer Penn State and Paterno swept it under the rug, the more leverage Sandusky gained, if they took him down, he knew he could take everyone else with him.
I would dare say it was known all through the college coaching community.....the lack of offers for Sandusky from other universities suggest that throughout the entire coaching fraternity there was knowledge that Sandusky was toxic, although they may not have known the exact reason.
<>I’m not buying that Paterno didn’t know what was going on.<>
The Grand Jury did. It came down to Paterno and McQueary versus Schultz and Curley. The Grand Jury returned indictments against Schultz and Curley for perjury and failing to report the abuse of a child. To the very end these two were insisting that it was reported to them to be only “horseplay”.
And then human sexuality promoter President of PSU Graham Spanier, who had earlier ordered Paterno not to speak to the press, showed what side he had been on from the beginning. “After the charges came to light, former President Graham Spanier issued a statement in which he said Curley and Schultz had his unconditional support, and saying they “operate at the highest levels of honesty.”
What!!! No “unconditional support” for McQueary and Paterno, just the two cronies charged with perjury and failure to report child abuse???
<>Sandusky raped a child before the Alamo bowl using tickets given to him by Paterno.<>
That was 1999. Paterno told the Grand Jury that he had no knowledge of the 1998 incident, which incidentally was reported to law enforcement and fully investigated. If the Grand Jury believed him to be lying, why didn’t they charge him with perjury???
Freeh’s evidence indicting Paterno is an email from the none other than an indicted perjurer who has now lawyered up.Is that the best evidence that Freeh can find???
Finally there is this little tidbit. McQueary said that he reported the 2001 incident to the police. What??? What police??? Gary Schultz was THE POLICE. As Vice President of PSU, he was head of and had oversight over the PSU Police Department.
He had a meeting with Schultz and Curley after reporting it to Paterno. Why would anyone think that once the head of the PSU Police Department knew about the incident that it would get swept under the rug??? Why would anyone think that the head of the PSU Police Department would fail to investigate it from there???
