If you've read every article on this case, your reading comprehension stinks.
This is a flat out bold faced lie. MM did NOT tell Joe Paterno that he witnessed a rape. Even MM admits that.
This is straight from the GJ Presentment that you claimed you friggin' read. What, did you skim it?
The grand jury presentment says MM told JP what he saw.
They leave the details out.
As has been discussed in other Penn State threads - this could be a courtesy to JoePa, as he will be called to testify in the future.
If you are referring to what JoePa claims he was told - you are correct.
The presentment describes the details of what MM told his father. What he told Curley (rape), what he told Schults (rape), and yet when it comes to the details of what he said to JoePa? - MM told JoePa what he saw.
As far as JoePas own admission - at the very least he describes sexual abuse, which is still a crime that needs to be reported to the police
