Paterno reported the hearsay evidence to Athletic Director Curley and Finance Director Schultz (who was also the supervisor of the University Police). After that Paterno was no longer invited to meetings. It was Schultz who decided it not be reported to the police. McQuery, who actually witnessed the activity, also did nothing to stop it nor did he go to the police. He was in on the meetings with Curley, Schultz, and possibly Spanier.
Should JoePa have done more? Absolutely. But he did report it to the University Police supervisor.
There’s several question I have been asking and no one in the media is asking: Who granted Sandusky emeritus status after he retired in 1998? Did Spanier and the Trustees have to approve it? That gave him the keys to the kingdom (ie locker room).
A follow up: Sandusky got emeritus status as a result of negotiations in his retirement in 1998. So, who was involved in those negotiations, and who approved the package from the University side. The approver(s) are the enablers, because they know why he was retiring.
A branch of law enforcement with these close ties to a university system is a disaster waiting to happen.
It's a mistake not to connect ex-PS Pres Graham Spanier and Sandusky. These are two very calculated predators----they did not operate in a vacuum. They were very calculated in everything they did.
NOTE Graham Spanier was fired from the PS president's job........but he and his wife are still on the PS payroll as profs. Hmmmmmm.....looks like ol' Graham used "leverage" to stay on the payroll. Betcha wife-swappin' gay lovin' Graham has some mighty interesting stories to tell.
========================================
Ex-PS president Graham Spanier's activities at Penn State (see more below) answers the one question on everyone’s mind——how did 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.
---------------------------------------------------------
MUST READ REFERENCE Paterno is getting the most attention, but FREEPER PA BOOKENDS posted this WRT Graham Spanier, the President – who was also fired.
Spanier’s degrees are in sociology with a chosen emphasis on human sexuality – wife swapping, adolescent sex, etc. Spanier asserted he wanted to make PSU the most LGBT-friendly school in the country. Spanier's sponsorship gave Penn State the first gay fraternity in the nation. Under Spanier’s leadership, Penn State sponsored “the Tent of Consent” - all about gay sex, as well as C*ntfest (shocker).
Now, shortly after his arrival, Spanier tried to get rid of the legendary Paterno. Why? The football program was bringing in tons of money. Paterno was (and remained) one of the LOWEST paid college coaches in the country. M/M Paterno 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 remove any and all obstacles in his path to solidifying Penn State as a protected pedophilia haven for Sandusky (and whoever else was involved in these heinous activities).
==================================================
Now isn’t that interesting-——Spanier was approved for the president’s job DESPITE recommendations against it by those who knew of his push to normalize homosexuality. Those who voted to approve Spanier should also be investigated——they are in deep, deep doo-doo. What did Spanier offer for a vote to approve him for the job?
It was not "hearsay" evidence, it was a firsthand witness report of a car of child anal rape that itself could have been immediately confirmed by use of a rape kit that a group - like say, the police - have access to.
It is insane and sickening to see the extent some FReepers will go to to excuse the mind-boggling inexcusable. Frankly, IMHO JimRob needs to review these threads and go on a zotting spree...
