From the article: He was one of the first with enough courage to say something. To stick around for three years while police and a grand jury talked to dozens of people and combed through thousands of documents. To hang on emotionally. To take a stand against a Goliath. A legend. A man that some saw as a god. He was the first to be believed. Authorities even call him Victim One.
From the article: McQueary, now an assistant coach for the Nittany Lions football team, went to his father first, then to coach Joe Paterno. “I don’t even have words to talk about the betrayal that I feel,” said the mom of Victim Six. “[McQueary] was a grown man, and he saw a boy being sodomized ... He ran and called his daddy?”
Way to "supervise" your assistant coaches, Paterno. Derelict of duty. Even if they did the "right thing" in the short run, life isn't lived in the "short run."
McQueary, Paterno, the AD, the VP, the President all flunked basic Humanitarian Ethics 101. Remove the whole bunch; lock away some of them.
What is appalling is that they all knew Sandusky had continued access to kids thru the Second Mile Foundation, its sports camps, and additional camps Sandusky ran thru Sandusky Associates. See:
* Penn State assistant coach ran kid camps after ban
* Sandusky led camp at Penn State Behrend ['Snow ball effect beyond State College]
Parents, if you had kids who attended sports camps @ any of these universities between 1994-2008, start talking to them to see if they were victimized:
* Penn State Erie (Penn State Behrend),
* Penn State Harrisburg [Penn State Capital College in Middletown]
* Robert Morris University
* Muhlenberg College
* Among others
The Penn State - State College crowd failed to share Sandusky info even with the two Penn State satellite campus A.D.s.
the “Second Mile” is still panhandling money from the public
I’m surprised the lawyers haven’t grabbed their bank accounts

There is the distinct threat of physical harm in one victim’s account. He was deathly afraid of Sandusky.
Ray Gricar’s mysterious disappearance is more than troubling.
Are there any reports of missing boys in PA during the past 30 years? Might be worth investigating.
The good news is Americans can still be outraged over man boy sex. Not something you can take for granted anymore. In fact I expect some defenders of this pig will be showing up pretty soon.
JoePa told the head of PSU about it, but it brought down a LEGEND!! I’m sorry for the boys, but PSU should have done something before when JoePa told them.
I am waiting for this McQueary person, or his daddy to make a statement explaining why McQueary is not a stinking coward.
Yeah, I have heard, “poor 28 year old graduate assistant”, blah blah. Why isn’t he talking? What is his position on all this? He walked by and saw a 60 year old man in a shower with a 10 year old boy and did nothing except call his daddy and leave?
There will be many, many more victims coming forward. In thirty years, Sandusky must have molested and raped hundreds of boys.
This reminds me of the Father James Porter case in Massachusetts. The church tried to make it out as if he had only one or two victims. It turned out there were hundreds.
Like with McQueary witnessing a child rapoe in progress and not stopping it—the same happened with Porter. He took a 6 year-old boy to the rectory and raped him in the shower. A fellow priest walked in on it...saw the blood going down the drain...said nothing; did nothing.
(This is all in the Porter trial transcripts for those who find it hard to believe.)
Pedophiles thrive on the secrecy, silence, and cowardice of other adults.
This is what went down at Penn State.
RE: Ray Gricar—
When Victim 6 was dropped off at home, his hair was wet and his mother immediately questioned him about this and was upset to learn the boy had showered with Sandusky.
She reported the incident to University Police who investigated. After a investigation by University Police Detective Ronald Shreffler, the investigation was closed after then-Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar decided there would be no criminal charges.
Shreffler testified that he was told to close the investigation by the director of the campus police, Thomas
Harmon. That investigation included a second child, B.K., also ll, who was subjected to nearly identical treatment in the shower as Victim 6, according to Detective Schreffler.
Dear God, dear God. I’m new to this story because I don’t follow sports. Was there no one who would help these boys? My heart is breaking. All of these boys will grow up with terrible problems that our society will have to deal with later. Hell isn’t warm enough...
If someone trying to hush this up made Gricar disappear, why didn’t they make Sandusky disappear?
There must be a whole lot more waiting to come out, and not just Sandusky and the cover-up of Sandusky. We’ll see.
