What are you a mindreader? How can you say what Paterno knew, or was thinking?

There is a police report on the 1998 'incident'. JP was Sandusky's boss.

He IMMEDIATELY reported what the GA saw.

No. He waited till the next day to tell the AD. According to the grad-assistant Joe was told the boy was raped. According to Joe he told the AD there was some horseplay.

You come off as a schmuck trying to pin responsibility for this on Paterno.

Whatever. Joe knew that it was being covered up to prevent a scandal and that Sandusky was free to rape again and again. If Joe had made this public he would have saved countless little boys from being raped. Part of it is on Joe.

Please consider the leftist, liberal, pro-homosexual, environment of Penn State. Make an accusation like this, and your wrong, you lose your job and get sued.

Paterno is 84. Brought up in a time when this type of thing was never spoken of. You make a big deal out of him waiting a day to go to the AD. What time of day was it reported to him? In the AM, or the PM? What did he do in the time he waited? If you know, please share it with me I haven’t seen it reported in detail.

What EXACTLY did the GA tell Paterno? What EXACTLY did Paterno tell the AD? If you have a source for what actually was said. Tell me where it is. Don’t give me what was “reported”.

You say Joe Paterno knew little boys were being raped and did nothing about it. When was Paterno arrested? Failure to report these rapes is a crime. Did the Grand Jury indict him? Where was he arrested? Did he post bail? You say Paterno KNEW it was being covered up. Tell me how you know what people are thinking.

I will allow that Joe Paterno could have handled this better. My problem is that you come off like you know all the facts and what everyone knew, or was thinking. Could you be wrong? You are calling Paterno guilty. How can you do that?

If Joe had made this public he would have saved countless little boys from being raped. Part of it is on Joe.

You're an idiot if you think Paterno should have publicly accused somebody of being a homosexual pedophile predator without personally witnessing it himself. Paterno did the right thing and reported the incident up his chain of command. He was a 75-year-old football coach back in 2002, not a district attorney or a police investigator.

Get a grip.

It would have destroyed JoPa’s legacy.

Penn State’s brand is very profitable. They wanted to protect it.

And they did, for a while.

Sick.
