Joe followed procedure. Period. If he had done anything more, he would have been interfering in an investigation.
You seem to care not for anything good and just if it might cast a shadow on your beloved Penn State or your deification of Paterno.
The hater, appears to be you....for any who would besmirch the name of you football gods.
Look in a mirror and at your posting name.
What about the 1998 incident where Sandusky admitted showering with a naked boy? Knowing JoePa’s position is it remotely possible that both local and campus police investigated the incident, had audio tape of Sandusky apologizing to victim’s mother in her home for what he’d done, and JoePa never knowing or being told about it? And Sandusky soon after announcing his retirement was just a coincidence? NO way. JoePa knew about the 1998 crime and pushed JS out the door without taking away his keys to the Penn State showers where he continued his molestations.
That's quite a spin there. In many institutions, a "procedure" has been set up to allow the institution to avoid public embarrassment. The procedure is there to keep control the situation.
So let's use some common sense here instead. What should you do if you suspect a major crime has been committed, especially a crime against a child?
You call the police. If you fear for your job, you can do it anonymously. Or you can take the moral high ground and risk your job by not being anonymous.
But you don't just mention it to your supervisor. You call the police. And if the crime is serious - and perhaps ongoing - you don't call the company police or the guard at the back gate. You call the municipal police.
“Joe followed procedure. Period.”
So if you were in his shoes you would have done the same and allowed the pedophile to continue to operate at PSU facilities?
