Penn State coach Paterno praised for acting appropriately in reporting Jerry Sandusky sex abuse suspicions

Penn State head football coach Joe Paterno did the right thing and reported an eye-witness report of child sex abuse by Jerry Sandusky in the football locker room in 2002, according to the indictment released this morning by the state Attorney General.

A source close to the investigation tells The Patriot-News that Paterno will not be charged, and will be a prosecution witness who will testify.

His bad behavior was known to all BEFORE The 2002 incident. JP didn't report it to the police and they all continued to their old relationships with Sandusky meanwhile letting him prey on boys for another decade. Tis a very black mark on PSU AND Paterno.

They all knew about him before the 2002 incident and they all did NOTHING after the 2002 incident. They all let him molest more kids for another decade ... all to prevent the scandal from coming out.

He didn't report it to legal authorities, apparently - just to the Penn State AD. I don't know if the law required Paterno to contact the police, but not doing so doesn't seem praise-worthy in any way - the crime was despicable and needed reporting to put an end to Sandusky's activity.

Nice to read that Coach Paterno is on the right side of this mess.

As long as they’re cleaning out criminal pedophiles and their protectors on the Penn State faculty and administration, they may as well drive the paddy wagon over to Professor Michael Mann’s offices to detain the famous global warming data fraud artist and grant hustler.

I’ve always been amused that Penn State is located so close to the State Correctional Institution - Rockview, or the “State Pen”, a huge penitentiary located in Bellefonte, PA on the road that leads from Interstate 80 to the university’s campus in State College, PA.

Or am I just being “obtuse”?

“A graduate student at Penn State University who discovered or allegedly discovered Sandusky assaulting a young boy in the showers in the football building in the locker room of the Penn State University Campus,” he said.
In addition to coaching at Penn State, Sandusky worked with at risk children through his Second Mile foundation, the prosecutors’ spokesman said.

“We believe that all eight of the victims he’s accused of sexually assaulting were identified and were part of the Second Mile program,” Frederiksen said.

According to the grand jury, the assaults occurred in a variety of locations — Penn State football facilities, Mr. Sandusky’s home, a high school, a golf resort near the university’s State College campus — and none of the boys were thought to be older than 13 when they first met Mr. Sandusky. The report also detailed the boys’ access to the Penn State football team; Mr. Sandusky retained access to many athletic facilities even after his retirement in 1999 and had an office in the Lasch Football Building.

Mr. Sandusky brought one boy to San Antonio for the 1999 Alamo Bowl, according to the report, but threatened to send him home when the boy resisted his sexual advances. He reportedly guaranteed that boy that he could walk on to Penn State’s football team, and the boy was shown in a photograph with him that appeared in Sports Illustrated.

A grand jury report, which recommended charges, said the first to come to light was a boy who met Sandusky when he was 11 or 12. The boy received expensive gifts and trips to sports events from Sandusky, and physical contact began during his overnight stays at Sandusky’s home, jurors said.

Sandusky was banned from the child’s school district in Clinton County in 2009, after his mother reported alleged sexual assault to his high school. That triggered the state investigation that culminated in charges Saturday.

Ms Kelly said that seven years before that, in 2002, a graduate assistant saw Sandusky sexually assault a naked boy, estimated to be about 10 years old, in the locker room of the Lasch Football Building on campus.

The grad student and his father reported what he saw to Mr Paterno, who immediately told Curley, prosecutors said.

This wouldn’t happen if football coaches were allowed to marry.

The problem here is celibacy. If Penn State would only allow its football coaches to marry, this problem would vanish.

Do I hear an "Amen"!!?

I just want to know how the hell Sandusky didn’t get his skull cracked open by the graduate-assistant who witnessed him anally raping that young boy.

Hmm.. kid is getting anally raped by Coach... do I intervene or notify my superior?

I’d like to punch the witness in the face for running away instead of putting himself at risk to save that kid.

I’ve seen how the news outlets are apalled and shocked they are about the prospect (hasn’t been proven yet) of such doings, as well they should.

But why does NAMBLA continually get a pass? Where’s the media shock and ‘concerned mothers’ outrage there?

"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
 
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.
 
The first stage being "demoralization".... "
