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.

And also, all those very persistent rumors of underage sex rings in the highest reaches of the US and Brit governments - remember the age-old senate page thing that was suddenly cancelled a few years ago after a short and briefly reported sex scandal?
I also thought about that disappeared DA and along the same lines. This very likely goes very high up, and it's amazing these days how frequently the right people wind up convieniently dead. Rotten to the core.
By going to Paterno, McQ hoped that someone with even more power than Sandusky would take action. It's not McQ's fault that the PSU bureaucrats did not act.
Why does “CYA” have a double meaning here?

He is the main witness. He holds all the cards.
Both the university and the prosecutors are in a position where they have to try and make nice with him to influence his testimony.
It ain’t right, but it’s what we’ve got.
Don’t know; must be in your mind.
He's married and the father of a young daughter.
I have the same question in a different format. Who gave Sandusky Emeritus status with the keys to the kingdom (Lasch locker room)? Was it Spanier, Curley, or did the Trustees approve his status.
Second, after the first public incident in 1998, why did Sandusky suddenly retire and why did he not get any other coaching offers, as he is supposedly responsible for the defense at Linebacker U? Did JoePa tell him to get lost and blackball him because of his extra-carricular activities?
It is something called football.
I never understood it myself, but it is what it is.
To some people, it is a religion.
Some believe McQueary has “whistle-blower” protections that may prevent the university from taking stronger actions against him. He was an underling that took up the matter with his boss. I am not sure this is a legitimate use of whistle-blower laws but I can see where it is enough to cause PSU to act cautiously.
Joe kept him on as his Defensive Coordinator after his retirement.
what happens in the showers stays in the showers
THIS is a lot bigger than football.
Then you also have to consider that McQ grew up in the same neighborhood as Sandusky; the families knew each other. Sandusky and Paterno were probably heroes, father figures, and role models, so McQ was by all accounts in a state of shock by what he saw. Someone in that state of mind is not at his best. Now people who weren't there and aren't part of the apparently incestuous cult-like culture of PS football are blithely bashing McQ, as if he did nothing at all, and acted out of cowardice. In fact, he seems to have done more than anyone else at PSU, and the grand jury seems to have reached that judgment also.
We do know that the board of directors of the Second Mile includes many wealthy and powerful people. If the whole truth came out, they could be sued for millions. So there were a lot of people who had an interest in covering up.
Incidentally, if some of those people were willing to snuff out a DA and make his body disappear (which seems possible), it would be easy for them to get into the DA's home and plant those searches about "cleansing" hard drives. Covert breakins are child's play to rich people and the PIs they can afford to hire. I speak from experience.
That tells me JoePa was going by the DA decision to drop the charges or the University decision to confer emeritus status on Sandusky. As a result he became an enabler along with the rest of them. I still am curious who gave Sandusky emeritus status.
Or perhaps, he didn’t want to perjure himself because he was afraid that the little boy who had seen him see the rape and walk away was going to identify him.
PS president Spanier was also fired——his bgrnd answers the one question on everyones mindhow Sandusky got free rein in the PS showers with young boys.
Did Spanier participate, as well? He certainly had an obsession with pederasty and moved hell and high water to give gay sex a foothold in PS.
VITAL REFERENCE Paterno is getting the most attention, but FREEPER PA BOOKENDS posted this WRT Graham Spanier, the President who was also fired.
Spaniers degrees are in sociology with an emphasis on things sexual wife swapping, adolescent sex. He claimed he wanted to make PSU the most LGBT-friendly university in the country. Penn State had the first gay fraternity in the nation. Under Spaniers leadership, Penn State has sponsored the Tent of Consent - all about gay sex, as well as C*ntfest (I hope you find that shocking).
Shortly after his arrival, Spanier tried to get rid of Paterno. Hmmmm. Why would that be? The football program was bringing in tons of money. Paterno was (and remained) one of the LOWEST paid college coaches in the country. He, Paterno, has donated millions to the University. Spanier lost the battle, but one has to ask: why was Spanier so eager to get rid of Joe??
It becomes clearer and clearer why Spanier was out to ditch Paterno-Spanier had to clear out any and all obstacles in his path to solidifying Penn State as a protected pedophilia haven.
[Did McQueary confront Sandusky at all? Did he say anything at the time to Sandusky?]
No, in fact, reports say that within a month he was attending fundraisers with Sandusky.
[Is McQueary married? I have read nothing about a wife or family of his own.]
Someone told me he has a wife and 2 young daughters.
Well, no one has really tried to answer the why not report question, but a simple answer would be that the first thing that popped into McQueery’s head at the time, “Would anyone believe me?” “What if this apparently very powerful entrenched coach says I made it up and the kid lies for him?” Pedos always lie. Then the 28 year old grad assistant’s life is ruined. So he calls his Dad, and the Dad says tell JoePa and maybe that’s all this kid thought he should do. The prosecutor looking into the case turned up “missing” in 2005 and is now declared dead, having never been found. Let’s face it, McQeery’s life was ruined when he peeked into the shower room. The REAL villians are Sandusky and the Penn State cover up.
