Joe Paterno when asked about the 1998 incident ....
“I don’t remember.”
...actually, when asked about this by the Grand Jury, after some uncomfortable moment, he ventured that he might have heard some rumors...
...I believe that Paterno was not informed of the exact nature of the Sandusky affair in ‘98, but he let the cat out of the bag with the rumor reference...but of course since the OP has assured us that Joe would’ve gone to jail if he had been informed, I guess there’s nothing else to talk about...
“...I believe that Paterno was not informed of the exact nature of the Sandusky affair in ‘98, but he let the cat out of the bag with the rumor reference...”
Yes. He knew. Even if he didn’t know the exact nature, he knew enough and enabled the serial child molester to continue to operate using PSU facilities!
Then the 2001 incident! AGAIN he failed to due his moral duty for the child and enabled the serial child moleter to continue to operate for another decade!
“but of course since the OP has assured us that Joe would’ve gone to jail if he had been informed”
I believe that serial child molester enablers should go to jail. Don’t you?
