Everyone focuses on Paterno because he is famous. However, the most troubling thing here is the various Penn State employees who claim to have witnessed adult-child sex acts, but who did not call police and did not even interrupt the sex acts.
From the article:
“1998: Victim 6 is taken into the locker rooms and showers when he is 11 years old. When Victim 6 is dropped off at home, his hair is wet from showering with Sandusky. His mother reports the incident to the university police, who investigate.
Detective Ronald Schreffler testifies that he and State College Police Department Detective Ralph Ralston, with the consent of the mother of Victim 6, eavesdrop on two conversations the mother of Victim 6 has with Sandusky. Sandusky says he has showered with other boys and Victim 6’s mother tries to make Sandusky promise never to shower with a boy again but he will not. At the end of the second conversation, after Sandusky is told he cannot see Victim 6 anymore, Schreffler testifies Sandusky says, ‘’I understand. I was wrong. I wish I could get forgiveness. I know I won’t get it from you. I wish I were dead.’’
Jerry Lauro, an investigator with the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, testifies he and Schreffler interviewed Sandusky, and that Sandusky admits showering naked with Victim 6, admits to hugging Victim 6 while in the shower and admits that it was wrong.
The case is closed after then-Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar decides there will be no criminal charge.”
Why on EARTH were no charges filed then? This Ray Gricar is also culpable. (NOT excusing a single PSU official, lock ‘em all up!)
If true, I think Paterno is just as guilty as anyone else involved. Paterno knew that Sandusky continued to have frequent contact with children and never followed it up?
This story is sick beyond imagination. We are talking about child rape! There is no doubt that it was reported to Paterno and he punted. Sorry, in my book you can’t punt moral responsibility to someone else. In my book you don’t allow continued contact with children by a possible pedophile until you are satisfied it’s not true. In my book, I can’t believe an honorable man would not follow up a report of child rape anywhere, much less in his own locker room.

... had Joe have known about in that way, he would have beat the guy to death himself
this SHOW is nothing but a media driven, head hunting, attempt to take down a famous old man for reason beyond his actual control over another person
where are all those higher commands in Ft Hood and FBI, and CIA that KNEW about the muslime shooter ... BEFORE he started shooting?
