Mike McQueary, the assistant Nittany Lions coach who told a grand jury that in 2002 he saw former coach Jerry Sandusky sexually assault a young boy, has been placed on administrative leave. The move was announced by Penn State Interim President Rod Erickson at a news conference that began at 4 p.m.

What if the cops were also protecting Sandusky?
They are probably in on the molestation, don’t you get it? the more you stir it, the worse it stinks.
Unless they are very unusual, kids don’t think like that, but their parents might.
What if a meteor fell out of the sky and hit McQueary on the head?
The more I hear, the more it seems Penn State was a college football version of “Jonestown.”
[I would like to get his age straightened out. I’m sure he’s not 38 years old now.
I’m thinking he was 18 when he saw the rape in the shower, and is 28 now.]
McQueary played at Penn State from 1994-1997 so he was not 18 when he saw the rape. He was 28.
A mistake??? He watched pedophilrs boy in the company. Of multiple 10yr olds for 10 more yrs and LOOKED THE OTHER WAY.....BUT HEY...HE KEKEPT HIS PENN ST COA7CHES JOB....
The culture of the University was to make money, both personally and for the organization. If problems surface, cover it up and enjoy the money.
That should bring him comfort.
One has to wonder how McQueary could bring himself to attend fundraisers with Sandusky, which he was doing within a month of witnessing the rape.
And even the cops and the judges were in on it. Makes me question if going to the cops would have mattered.
“To get along, you go along.”
[It’s reported that McQueary once broke up a knife fight between two teammates. (Which shows you the kind of people active in big-time college sports, by the way.) This guy is not a physical coward.]
Which makes it all the worse that his reaction to seeing a 10 year-old boy raped was to turn and walk away, imo.
I guess you don’t have to worry about that with this crew.

Well, having grown up in SC, and been close to others in the program when he was growing up, not to mention being in the program as a player, he would have known all about the State College Mafia.
But then again. If I had been in his shoes, I would have taken the first job at another school I could have found.

I hate to say this but we, in our society, are far more prepared to experience the former case (a knife fight) than we are to witness the second case (sex between a man and aboy in a shower on a University campus).
McQueary had some reason to expect that, at some point, he might have to deal with violence between two football players on a college campus more than he'd ever have to deal with a an adult having anal sex with a boy on that campus.
You're absolutely right. His soul, blackened by his watching a young boy being raped by a monster and doing nothing to stop it, will determine his fate for all eternity.
Its interesting that the only reason we have an indictment against Sandusky is because he volunteered to be an assistant coach at a local high school in 2009. While there he did something to a boy that made the people at the high school report the act. But their mandated reporting chain went through a family and child social agency instead of simply going to the police. The social agency reported it to the State Attorney General and hence the investigation that led to the arrest. If their manidated reporting chain had been to the police, we might never be where we are today.
No. The mother had told Sandusky to stay away from her boy then she learned that the school was letting Sandusky take the boy out of class on 'trips'.
She called the school and demanded a meeting. The school called the boy in and he told what was happening.
The mother said that the school officials told her to 'carefully consider the consequences' if she reported this. The mother then immediately took her boy out of school and went to Child Services.
