Wanna guess assistant coach is now trying to cover his rear and his destroyed reputation and future law suits? He should have known that law enforcement would have check and made a statement re this. Or was he dumb enough to think his “friend” would not tell someone what he said on the email? Dumb and dummer.
Could be that the law is trying to cover their rears too. After all, they knew about Sandusky’s issues in 1998 and did nothing.
So to speak.
Let’s asssume for this discussion that McQ really did go to the police with this explosive report/allegation.
They might have kicked it upstairs, and the answer coming down was, “lose the report. Keep nothing on paper.”
My point is, in this type of situation, the witness making the explosive report needs to make a detailed “record of conversation” after meeting the police. Names of everybody he talked to, names of duty officers, times, offices, everything he can remember.
Just in case the police are told to “forget” or “lose” an explosive report they would rather pretend was never made.
I learned this as a military junior officer, but I don’t expect McQ to have known to do it.
