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.
Get a grip. Joe participated in at least two coverups. Why didn't he advise the grad-student (who worked for him) to go to the police? No. He took it up the chain and saw that it was hushed up. Can't have the public know that we have child-rapists on our staff raping ten year olds in our locker room ....
Poor Joe. Not his problem if one of his buddies is banging ten year olds in his locker room.

You make it sound like JP was a feeble old dude with no influence at PSU. He was an ICON and the fact that he allowed this to be covered up totally crushes his image.
