The 1998 incident went to the county child protective services folks and the police. It was determined at that time there was not enough evidence to pursue a prosecution of Sandusky.
What did Paterno do? He fired Sandusky.
He had no day-to-day contact with js after that and was not a party to js having access to the campus after that.
Now if you have evidence of Paterno driving the busload of young boys to Sandusky’s to be molested, please come forward with that evidence.
js was the perp who was rightly convicted of this crime. He probably should have gotten the death penalty for what he did.
