I amend my original post. The Paterno family did NOT release this letter. They simply confirmed it’s existence yesterday. It was sent to a select number of ex-players back in December, and it eventually found it’s way to a message board.

As to the detractors - show me proof that Joe Paterno was involved in some sort of cover up, or stop with the over the top comments.

“Joe ran that entire town, and everyone knows it!” doesn’t exactly qualify as proof.

He was told about a shower rape and passed the information along. Then he continued to work with the rapist for years. All I ask is for you to imagine the same scenario at your place of work, would you spend years working with a known child rapist without doing anything more? Would you report it to a higher authority if nothing came from the first attempt?

He knew about the 1998 investigation and did nothing.

So the incident in 2001 was the SECOND time that “JoePa” had credible reports that Sandusky was perving on little boys.

According to the report they were ready to go to the authorities UNTIL a meeting with “JoePa” - and then they decided to be “humane” to SANDUSKY - and apparently being “humane” was to allow him continued access to Penn State - the “currency” with “empowered” him to continue ‘grooming’ boys for pedophilia.

McQueery, who went to Paterno to report the 2001 shower incident was given a job. If he were a credible witness then why was nothing ever done? If he were not a credible witness - why was he given a job?

“JoePa” is scum. He witnessed Sandusky parade boys around the Penn State campus and attend banquets and the like for over a DECADE after TWO (at least) credible reports of pedophilia.

Sorry that you idolize (and named your FR account after) a man who is less than a man and who thought football was more important that child rape - but the facts are the facts.
