I don’t know. Paterno says he was not told of any specific sexual abuse.
Then somebody’s lying. Either McQuery, the grad assistant who claimed he witnessed the anal intercourse and then told Paterno about it after being urged to do so by his father, to which he evidently stated as such during his grand jury testimony, or Paterno is lying or lied about what he claims he was told.
Not according to Paterno's own testimony on page 7 of the Grand Jury Presentment. I would link it to you but I don't know how.
You should, perhaps, read it. But not on a full stomach.
Ping to you, Colofornian. You have the most details on this sickening cover-up than any other FReeper, I believe.
Congrats, and keep up the good work!
From the grand jury report:
“Joseph V. Paterno testified to receiving the graduate assistants report at his home on a Saturday morning. Paterno testified that the graduate assistant was very upset. Paterno called Tim Curley, Penn State Athletic Director and Paternos immediate superior to his home the very next day, a Sunday, and reported to him that the graduate assistant had seen Jerry Sandusky in the Lasch Building showers fondling or doing something of a sexual nature to a young boy.”
Right... According to his own testimony, though, Paterno was told that it involved Sandusky and some 10 year old kid in the showers at 9:30 at night...
I guess that’s not specific enough to give a damn, though.
