“he had a grad assistant (McQuarry) who saw Sandusky actually sodomizing a boy in the shower”
Why didn’t that guy go straight to the cops? Who witnesses rape and tattletales to their boss?
“Yeah, Joepa may not be legally responsible in any way since he reported it to someone in ‘higher authority’”
That’s ridiculous. There is no “authority” in the administration in regard to the law. If you want to report a crime, you go to a legal authority, not an educational authority. You go to a cop or an officer of the court, not some paper pushing academic.
“There is no authority in the administration in regard to the law.”
Never spent any real time on a major college campus, have you.
Remember that hunk of crap out west a few tears ago who was videoed walking out of a public washroom where he knew someone was being sexually assaulted, and he sanctimoniously claimed it wasn’t his problem, and to everyone’s frustration, there was nothing to prosecute him with? Paterno isn’t very different than that scumbag, even if he lived up to the legalities of the matter.
