I agree but I think fair to give the grad assistant at least a little slack. I would have been shocked too. He at least immediately took it to his boss who is also the head of the football program. No doubt he is sick about it.

Respectfully, he didn't immediately take it to his boss. He immediately called his father from a phone in an office in the athletic building. It sounds as if he didn't have a cell phone on him. That was 9:30 on a Friday night. He went home and discussed it with his father.

I don't know how late it was by that time, but they didn't call Joe Paterno that night. They waited until Saturday morning. The graduate assistant called Paterno and Paterno asked him to come to his home. That's when Paterno found out.

Paterno waited until Sunday to notify the AD.

So the rape that took place on Friday night was reported by the grad assistant to his father immediately, but wasn't reported to Paterno until Saturday morning, and wasn't reported by Paterno until sometime on Sunday.

I give him some slack as I mentioned in reference to the 'culture' at PSU was to blame for his actions. NO WAY do you call 911 on one of the PSU ICONS.
