Now you have to call the police to turn yourself in.
Joe Paterno didn't hear an unsubstantiated rumor about somebody he never met.
He heard a first-person eye-witness account from a subordinate about the rape of a child in the workplace he was in charge of.
Slightly different scenario.
“He heard a first-person eye-witness account from a subordinate about the rape of a child in the workplace he was in charge of.”
And the perp is out on small bail.
