No, Mc Q and Paterno did not keep quiet. Both reported their knowledge to their immediate supervisors. The stories are quite clear about that. I believe it was the former head of the PA State Police who made the comments. It seems to me that any current or former state officer out running his mouth on this either has an ax to grind or is too stupid to realize he is jeopardizing the cases against Sandusky and the two admins. So, following the ex-cop’s non-logic the defendant should be a “culture”. What a crock! Three people may be responsible, ultimately: Sandusky for being a pervert and the two admins for covering up. Since a grand jury operates without time limits and without any limits on evidence discovery this particular GJ of disinterested (neutral) folks did not find sufficient evidence to indict McQ or Paterno. Those folks probably heard stuff that would make your skin crawl as well as stuff that would surprise most folks about the supposed “culture”. Was Paterno subpoened to the GJ? Was McQ? I don’t know. If they were they had to appear without counsel and had to answer every question under oath under penalty of perjury. It sounds like the GJ did a thorough and comprehensive job. The article from the Beast asks the rhetorical question about how Paterno could hire such a “monster”. That’s a fair question since PSU is a state school and makes all potential employees undergo a thorough criminal records check. In “coach world” there are also tons of unofficial, off record conversations. I believe if anything had indicated Sandusky’s true nature he would never been hired. This is horrible for the victims. I’m not minimizing that. A perv beat the system for years. Sadly, that happens.
They all kept quiet in 1998 when Sandusky was raping ten year old boys in Paterno's locker room.
They all kept quiet in 2000 when Sandusky was raping ten year old boys in Paterno's locker room.
They all kept quiet in 2002 when Sandusky was raping ten year old boys in Paterno's locker room.
NO one came forward. They all kept quiet.
Paterno enabled the perv for years.
Why wasn't he fired when they got him on tape admitting to molesting a boy in the shower?
Why wasn't he kicked off campus and reported to the the proper authorities when he was caught in 2002. Why didn't the staff report it to the authorities when he was caught in the showers with a boy in 2000?
