Why has McQueary seemingly gotten off almost scott free so far. He is as scummy as Sandusky. He should have walked into that shower, grabbed that child by the arm, and led him to a safe place where he could dress. He should have told Sandusky to go home and blow his brains out, because he was taking the child to the police, and then to the hospital for a medical exam. What a coward. His primary impetus was to be promoted from graduate assistant coach to assistant coach. He had to run what he saw by Paterno first. He got what he bargained for by keeping his mouth shut for years. He is as guilty as Sandusky and just as perverted.
Well not only McQueary but the AD as well. Neither has been fired. (The AD put himself on leave of absence)
The answer in both cases is likely that one or both are key state's witnesses in cases vs. Schultz & Sandusky (and McQueary also in Curley's case). They could have charges vs. Spanier...and I don't 100% rule out Paterno, tho I highly doubt it.
My guess is that they will would try Curley last...offering him a deal to testify vs. Schultz & perhaps Spanier, if they charge Spanier.
The whistleblower law probably keeps Penn State from firing McQueary...tho everybody knows the new coach has a right to set his entire asst coaching staff.
So McQueary will probably draw checks until the new coach is announced.
