Things Most People Still Don't "Get" About the Jerry Sandusky Scandal

Editorial by John Ziegler Things Most People Still Don't "Get" About the Jerry Sandusky Scandal

6/24/2012

One of the most interesting phenomenon about the biggest news stories of the modern age is that the larger a story is, the bigger the gap seems to be between what people think they know about what happened and what really occurred (this is how most Americans think Bill Clinton was impeached for having oral sex with an intern) .

Having communicated, from a contrarian point of view, with literally hundreds of people about the Jerry Sandusky case, I have been struck by how true this is regarding the horrific narrative which has captivated the sports world since last November. Because at one point I was preparing to produce a documentary on it for a major network (one that will be made, but without my participation) I have made it my business to know all of the facts about this case.

In my experience there are many important elements which, thanks in large part to poor media coverage, are not just lost on the general public, but which the average person simply refuses to accept as reality, even when they are directly told about them. Most incredibly, I have found that this is even true with a lot of Penn State supporters who, seemingly out of guilt and fear of being seen as not accepting reality, have bought into largely suspect narratives.

To be clear, I am totally convinced that Sandusky was guilty and that the verdicts were, for the most part, completely justified (though the process was clearly rushed). I just strongly believe that many people have come to unfair conclusions about the now deceased Joe Paterno because they simply don’t have a clear picture of all the facts.

Here are the most important things that, at least in my experience, most people just don’t "get" about the Jerry Sandusky scandal.

Without a doubt, the number one item on this list is that there is no known victim from the episode witnessed by Mike McQueary, which got so much of the media coverage and which ultimately resulted in Paterno’s firing. When I tell people this fact they think that I am either joking or that I simply mean that the victim just doesn’t want to be identified.

Neither is true. Despite worldwide media coverage and the likelihood of a huge civil case paycheck, no one has ever come forward in any way to say that they were raped or abused by Sandusky in the Penn State showers on the day McQueary says he saw something awful. This doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, but it should have at least raised important questions which were mostly never asked.

Not only is there no known victim from the McQueary episode, incredibly, the only known witness to the event got the date it happened wrong. McQueary didn’t just get the day of this seemingly momentous incident wrong. He also got the month wrong. And the even the year! The only thing more remarkable than this inexplicable lapse in memory (how do you forget the year in which something like that happened unless you only thought it was extremely significant years later?), was that the very same media which covered the initial McQueary allegation as if it was a presidential assassination, barely even mentioned this startling revelation which came to light just before the trial.

Two other facts about McQueary, which have been lost in the avalanche of information about the case, are that he told a doctor friend that he never saw any sex and that he went out of his way to participate in at least two events hosted by Sandusky after the scene in the shower. Both of these issues came up at trial (the jury even asked to have the doctor’s testimony read back during deliberations) and probably played a role in one of the verdicts.

Now that the verdicts are in, also making the list of things most people don’t realize about the Sandusky case is the significance of one of the three not guilty judgments. It turns out that, after all of the coverage of the McQueary allegation and the resulting ignominious ending of a 60 year era at Penn State football and the death of a legend, Sandusky was actually acquitted of the rape charge from that allegation.

This was hardly ever mentioned on any of the television coverage of the verdict and is more than just an interesting and ironic footnote to the trial. The reality is that this verdict proves that the grand jury report should never have described what McQueary witnessed as an “anal rape.” That one phrase dramatically altered the narrative of the entire saga. Without it, I honestly believe that media firestorm is greatly diminished (no one to my knowledge has ever pointed out that the first edition of Sports Illustrated after the grand jury report came out had exactly zero hard news stories on the scandal), Paterno and Penn State are not the only focus, and Paterno at least survives long enough to get the hearing he deserved.

Most people, even in the news media, are also unaware that there was only one other allegation of actual rape (interestingly the mother of that victim does not blame Penn State or Paterno at all) in the grand jury report, which is probably why the prosecutors stretched too far on the McQueary incident. All of the other most egregious allegations came about because new victims came forward after all of the initial publicity. All of the many accusers at trial created the misimpression that there was a mountain of evidence at the time of Paterno’s firing. This just wasn’t the case.

Similarly, people I speak to have a very difficult time separating what we now know about what a monster Sandusky is and what information Paterno apparently had at the time when he decided all that he had to do was notify his superiors. Based on the current evidence, all Paterno knew was that a graduate assistant had sort of witnessed Sandusky engaging in highly inappropriate contact of a sexual nature in a Penn State shower. There is no existing proof that Paterno knew of any other allegations and certainly didn’t have the full context of Sandusky’s actions we all unfortunately have now.

This leads to the next misunderstanding surrounding how easy it would have been for Paterno or anyone else to pin a child molester label on Sandsky. Not only were there no other concurrent allegations (as far as we currently know, Penn State football was unaware of the 1998 investigation into an incident which prosecutors deemed unchargeable), but Sandusky was a local hero and ran a huge charity on which thousands of people relied. A false charge of child molester would have been devastating to many people and irreversible. It has been presumed that Paterno and others at Penn State looked the other way on Sandusky out of fear of damaging their precious program, but there are other rational interpretations of their hesitancy to go public.

It is also important to point out that, while he didn’t go public with McQueary’s story, contrary to widespread perception, Paterno did indeed go to the police (the head of the campus police) and his superior, just as the law required him to do so. Most people are as unaware of the basic fact as they are that Sandusky was a FORMER Penn State assistant at the time McQueary came to him. In Paterno’s mind Sandusky was no longer his responsibility.

Most people I speak to about this presume that Paterno took part in a cover up and placed the reputation of his football team over the well being of defenseless children. But just to be clear, as of today, there is zero evidence to back up this allegation. While numerous email are being made public which indicate other Penn State officials may have participated in a cover up, there is not even one relevant mention of Joe Paterno.

If people still want to think that the crimes of Jerry Sandusky were really the fault of Joe Paterno or someone else, that is fine with me. People are entitled to their own opinions. They just should have all the facts before they come to their conclusions. Unfortunately, in this case, very few people, even in the news media, are aware of all of them.

"being a pedophile is not the same as being homosexual ( no matter how convoluted your logic)."

It just so happens that most pedophiles, nay pederasts, are gay. At least those who make the news.

I think we can agree that when an old man rapes young boys he would be considered gay.

Shall we discuss the media's aversion to associating pedophiles with homosexuals?

What is this humanity when there is an apologist for a homosexual child rapist?

I understand the author is trying to protect his institution, but this is over the top.

We know that all of the Lions are not homo-child-rapists, the institution is fine but we've got some rotten people who need to be held accountable.

Pardon me while I vomit...

I believe the writer is biased.

Ransomnote Says:
Again - I think he departs from his fake focus on ‘facts’ here and is really playing interpreter -showing how the facts should be interpreted.

“Without a doubt, the number one item on this list is that there is no known victim from the episode witnessed by Mike McQueary, which got so much of the media coverage and which ultimately resulted in Paterno’s firing. When I tell people this fact they think that I am either joking or that I simply mean that the victim just doesn’t want to be identified.”
_______________

Ransomnote Says:
I forget the name of the hearing that is held to determine whether to file charges, is it a grand jury that is empaneled? Whatever the name of that first legal hurdle was, the ‘panel’ found McQuery believable.
Sandusky was found guilty of other rape charges but the ‘problem’ with the shower incident the writer focuses on is the identity of the 10 year old rape victim.

We know that Sandusky was found guilty of raping children, we don’t know the name of of this victim. We know that some victims of horrible trauma like childhood sex abuse never make it to adulthood because they become suicidal or become drug addicts etc. So there is an unidentified victim said to be in a shower with Sandusky who is known to have raped other children fitting that description. What to do? Look at McQueary’s testimony. The jury believed his testimony in Sandusky’s trial.

Quoting an online analysis of the trial outcomes “The jury’s conclusion that McQueary observed indecent assault and unlawful contact with a minor demonstrated that the jury believed McQueary saw something improper and illegal, but not necessarily actual sex, as he admitted.”
http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/06/23/12370562-analysis-number-of-victims-persuaded-sandusky-jurors-in-he-said-he-said-case?lite

So in the case of things like child rape or child pornography, sometimes a young child is not identified by name and at that point they look at who reported what and the credibility of those people. A custodian also reported having seen this kind of sexual activity with Sandusky and a boy in the shower and it put him in a state of shock. The write doesn’t mention that. I believe the writer implies that people don’t realize that the shower victim was never identified and therefore Paterno was innocent and acted properly. But Paterno believed McQeary enough to a) report him to a campus police person and b) treat McQeary like he was honest and trustworthy for years following the report.
___________________________
“Neither is true. Despite worldwide media coverage and the likelihood of a huge civil case paycheck, no one has ever come forward in any way to say that they were raped or abused by Sandusky in the Penn State showers on the day McQueary says he saw something awful.”

___________________________
Ransomnote Says:
The writer says “Despite worldwide media coverage, no one has come forward...” He really should have said “Perhaps because of worldwide media coverage, no adult male having been repeatedly raped by the football ‘hero’ throughout their childhood was emotionally able (or alive) to brave the media storm and the hatred of Paterno’s rabid fans to speak of the worst, most destructive trauma they received at the tender age of 10 (or whatever age).” I mean, it is touch for children who were raped to face it let alone brave the insane media storm and rabid fans. That’s why the jury turned to McQueary re the show rape. And note the writer qualifies that no one says they were raped ON THAT EXACT DAY. I really doubt children would remember the date they were raped but that’s just me.
__________________________

“Not only is there no known victim from the McQueary episode, incredibly, the only known witness to the event got the date it happened wrong. McQueary didn’t just get the day of this seemingly momentous incident wrong. He also got the month wrong. And the even the year! The only thing more remarkable than this inexplicable lapse in memory (how do you forget the year in which something like that happened unless you only thought it was extremely significant years later?), was that the very same media which covered the initial McQueary allegation as if it was a presidential assassination, barely even mentioned this startling revelation which came to light just before the trial.”
_______________________
Ransomnote Says:
How do we know McQueary got it wrong? How do we know that no victim came forward to report that occurred on that date? Because the date was recorded by the campus police. Paterno believed there was something to report, he believed McQueary was trustworthy enough to report it. Making a big deal about McQueary totally lousing up the correct date isn’t much of an issue if there is record with the campus police of a report.
______________________

“Two other facts about McQueary, which have been lost in the avalanche of information about the case, are that he told a doctor friend that he never saw any sex and that he went out of his way to participate in at least two events hosted by Sandusky after the scene in the shower. Both of these issues came up at trial (the jury even asked to have the doctor’s testimony read back during deliberations) and probably played a role in one of the verdicts.”

___________________________

Ransomnote Says:
The reason Sandusky was not given a ‘guilty’ verdict on the case reported by McQueary is because McQueary always admitted he didn’t see, specifically ‘sex’ as in ‘anal rape’ but was reporting sexual activity. McQueary said this to Paterno, the initial panel (grand jury?) and at the trial, so why wouldn’t he say it to a doctor?

________________________________

” It turns out that, after all of the coverage of the McQueary allegation and the resulting ignominious ending of a 60 year era at Penn State football and the death of a legend, Sandusky was actually acquitted of the rape charge from that allegation.”
_____________________________
Ransomnote Says:
I don’t think the writer ‘gets’ that the Jury believed McQueary and the other rape victims, but carefully reviewed testimony on this case and didn’t find evidence (Mcqueary said he didn’t see actual anal rape) to convict on that charge but convicted Sandusky on two other charges for that specific shower event. Paterno wasn’t sent to an ignomius end by the lack of evidence of anal rape.
Again, repeated an excerpt from the analysis I linke, “the jury believed McQueary saw something improper and illegal, but not necessarily actual sex, as he admitted.” Paterno lost his career for failing to report (to the police, not campus police) and address ‘improper and illegal’ activity involving the abuse of a child which was reported to him.

_________________________

“The reality is that this verdict proves that the grand jury report should never have described what McQueary witnessed as an “anal rape.” That one phrase dramatically altered the narrative of the entire saga. Without it, I honestly believe that media firestorm is greatly diminished “
__________________________________

Ransomnote Says:
Again, the reporter implies that McQueary had to actual witness instance anal rape and not just that specific instance of illegal and improper behavior (Sandusky and a boy in the shower) in order for Paterno to be responsible for reporting sexual abuse of a child to the ‘real’ police and to see to it that Sandusky was barred from further access to the showers at the school in which Paterno was coach. Paterno had influence and he chose to deploy it in the protection of his schools reputation in stead of acting to protect children being abused by Sandusky. It was his choice.
__________________________

“Most people, even in the news media, are also unaware that there was only one other allegation of actual rape (interestingly the mother of that victim does not blame Penn State or Paterno at all) in the grand jury report, which is probably why the prosecutors stretched too far on the McQueary incident. All of the other most egregious allegations came about because new victims came forward after all of the initial publicity. All of the many accusers at trial created the misimpression that there was a mountain of evidence at the time of Paterno’s firing. This just wasn’t the case.”
___________________________
Ransomnote Says:
So it would have been ok if Paterno betrayed one sexually abused child? He should have kept his career then? It only matters if the public thinks Paterno ignored a MOUNTAIN of evidence instead of the innocence of a boy. Paterno knew Sandusky ran a charity for children. Sandusky’s proclivities were known. All Paterno did was distance himself (Really do you think Sanduksy was so committed to his charity that he’d just not pull away to spend time with coaching? That was Paterno’s cover for why he dumped Sandusky.)

______________________
“Similarly, people I speak to have a very difficult time separating what we now know about what a monster Sandusky is and what information Paterno apparently had at the time when he decided all that he had to do was notify his superiors. Based on the current evidence, all Paterno knew was that a graduate assistant had sort of witnessed Sandusky engaging in highly inappropriate contact of a sexual nature in a Penn State shower.”
_____________________
Ransomnote Says:
Is anyone as repulsed as I am reading that? One sexually abused child or eight of them - you go to the police because a child deserves a protection and help and a hope for some kind of future.
______________________

“This leads to the next misunderstanding surrounding how easy it would have been for Paterno or anyone else to pin a child molester label on Sandsky. “
______________________
Ransomnote Says:
No one said that Paterno had to pin a child molester label on Sandusky. Plenty of us believe he had to report the information he received regarding the sexual activity taking place between a man and a child in the showers as reported to him.
_____________________________

“Sandusky was a local hero and ran a huge charity on which thousands of people relied. A false charge of child molester would have been devastating to many people and irreversible.”
____________________________
Ransomnote Says:
And Paterno was the ‘winningest coach ever!’. Paterno would not charge Sandusky with molestation - he would report it to the proper authorities and they would investigate. Sandusky would have to accept the fact that activity reported to Paterno had to be relayed to the proper authorities by Paterno (if he had done his job) regardless of their friendship or Paterno’s own opinion.
____________________________________________________
“ Most people are as unaware of the basic fact as they are that Sandusky was a FORMER Penn State assistant at the time McQueary came to him. In Paterno’s mind Sandusky was no longer his responsibility.”
____________________________
Ransomnote Says:
Again, this is repulsive. Sandusky was no longer Paterno’s responsibility - but the child being molested in campus football team showers on Paterno’s watch WAS. Do we really only report molesters if they are currently employed with us?
___________________________

“While numerous email are being made public which indicate other Penn State officials may have participated in a cover up, there is not even one relevant mention of Joe Paterno.”
__________________________

Ransomnote Says:
Pathetic...do I need to explain why?
__________________________

“If people still want to think that the crimes of Jerry Sandusky were really the fault of Joe Paterno or someone else, that is fine with me.”
_________________________
Ransomnote Says:
I’ve only heard people say Paterno failed in his responsibility to act, not that he was responsible for the crimes of Jerry Sandusky. But, this is just another biased attempt by the writer to shape the facts for us.

________________________

“People are entitled to their own opinions. They just should have all the facts before they come to their conclusions.”

_______________________
Ransomnote Says:
The jury knew the facts and found McQueary believable, as did Paterno. There is evidence that Paterno reported to the campus police only and then distanced himself. THose are the facts.

Highly inappropriate is a professor with a college student in the shower.

A middle aged man having sex with a young boy in the showers is freakin rape. Forget the “required reporter” cop out, anyone who knew this was happening had a duty to report it and make sure it was handled. That includes the cops who apparently ignored these crimes.

Apparently folks are willing for fatherless boys to be raped in order to protect their sports business.

Seems like people are still making excuses that this series of events isn’t as bad as some people may think.

How many children were raped and were never reported or identified? Sandusky had access to many many children over a very long period of time.

They are still trying to cover it up.

Joepa would of been known for doing the right thing. That being said he didnt contact the police, FBI etc and forever he will be stained with being part of the coverup. Rightfully so! PSU made the right move in removing him

Then I added that I was dismayed that the media accounts kept stating that Paterno had not contacted police. I told him that he did contact the proper jurisdiction, the campus police...

...it so happens that I don’t think Paterno should’ve been terminated over this situation, although I can understand why others do...if he’d had the moral fiber he was supposed to possess he would’ve retired ten years ago, and not have deprived some deserving younger coach the opportunity at a blue chip job...but he did in fact report what he’d been told, albeit to a nominal superior (nobody, but nobody was actually superior to Paterno at PSU)and fulfilled his moral obligation, again albeit in true minimalist fashion...he was terminated as a result of his high handed treatment of administrators who wished to (rightfully) exercise his retirement years prior, and they, sensing a rare opportunity, struck him down, payback for his prior dissing of them...Paterno’s hubris was so exaggerated that he thought he could still control a situation that had bombshelled the campus; he publicly stated that he, not they, would determine his fate, saying he would retire at year’s end...but, in the end, he was fired for petty administrative reasons, opportunely, but not directly, tied to the scandal...

...by the way, if anyone believes that the football program in 1998, when Jerry was still the celebrated DC, was not aware that he was under suspicion of lewd behavior with a child in a shower, a situation conveniently swept under the carpet, I certainly don’t know what to say, except that sometimes suspension of belief just beggars the imagination...

We get it just fine. A PC liberal institution not only protected, they encouraged a gay pedophile child rapist in his activities for decades. Then they covered it up and denied it for years even to the faces of the very victims themselves, completely confident that not only was it the right thing to do, but that this was how things were supposed to be and that this was just another lifestyle.

Yes, we understand clearly.

The nicest thing that anyone can say about the involvement of Paterno is that no one really knows what happened.

The kindest conclusion you can come to about Paterno's involvement is that he was very busy and was simply negligent while a pedophile he wasn't entirely aware of was ruining his legacy and reputation. I find that at best, very sad and very disturbing.

The worst that you can surmise was that Paterno knew the whole story, and was involved with the cover up with other people at Penn State in order to save the legend and football machine he had created there.

The truth is likely somewhere in between, but we will probably never know what actually happened. All we know is that a lot of young boys were irreparably scarred for life and shattered while a record was being made for a legend that is now entirely tarnished, even if you come to the kindest of conclusions.

“negligence does not have the same moral stink as does a cover=up.”

Maybe not, but when the negligence in question allows children to continue to be raped and molested, then that negligence is a very serious issue in and of itself.
