A previously unreleased police report written 10 years after the most infamous incident in the Jerry Sandusky child-rape scandal at Penn State revealed more evidence that Joe Paterno knew about his assistant coachs horrific behavior before 2001.
The report, which CNN obtained and released Saturday, says when assistant coach Mike McQueary told Paterno he had seen Sandusky with a young boy in the showers at Penn States football facility, that the head coach told him it was the second complaint of this nature he had received.
After the news broke of Sanduskys behavior and his arrest, Paterno, his family and many Penn State fans loyal to the winningest coach in NCAA history denied over and over that he had any prior knowledge of Sanduskys decades-long practice of sexually abusing young boys.
The coach testified under oath that the meeting with McQueary was the first hed heard of it. His family has continued to defend him after his death.
This police report, which was written in 2011, was never mentioned in court by McQueary or the prosecution, in part because it was that legal teams strategy to keep the focus on Sandusky and away from Paterno and Penn State. The CNN story reports the prosecution even threatened Sanduskys lawyers to stay away from it, or they would add even more accusations from Sanduskys past to his list of charges.
One man testified during a civil trial that he went to Paterno in 1976 to tell him of Sanduskys molestation and the coach dismissed it, saying, I have a football season to worry about.

Yep. He knew, but we had our own disgusting child rape enablers here at FR, mainly fljoepa.
When sports rises above care, you know you are one sick individual. When you defend pedophiles, you are just as damnable.
To hell with JoePa, PSU, and pedophile enablers like fljoepa.
What makes you think it wouldn’t have been the same at any major college FB Power ?
And NO I didn’t go to PSU

And while all turned to look the other way, a new crop of budding pedophiles were being spawned by Sandusky. Those who don't grow up to repeat his disgusting proclivities will go on to live shattered lives - all because people turned the other way.
>>Ethics is a moral dilemma. Paterno faced no dilemma. His failure to act was a felonious moral failure.<<
Maybe so. The initial issue being discussed was whether Pete Rose and Joe Paterno had a similar category of failings. A bit esoteric I admit but it had evolved to that point.
Ain’t talking about their images I am talking about what would have occurred under the same circumstances
Just curious. What is James Franklin's scandal?

It sure was convenient how Sandusky went to prison without any other names coming out as to who was involved in the pedophile ring.
Sandusky doesn’t get away with what he did for as long as he did without help from some very important people.
Their “ethical lapses” aren’t comparable.
I think you're missing the point.
We're talking about Penn State.
Some thought he was immortal. Me? Not so much.
I think Bill O’Brien was the coach following Paterno. Not sure you could say he ‘got run out of town’. Just clarifying who followed who.
“It sure was convenient how Sandusky went to prison without any other names coming out as to who was involved in the pedophile ring.”
We think along the same lines. A lot of n important people sat on the Board of the foundation setup by Sandusky. Paterno wasn’t the only person who failed to know (or suspect) something wasn’t quite right
Okay but the sentence implies the coach after O'Brien (who would be James Franklin) has some scandal. I'm just curious what it is. There might be one but I'm unaware of it.
Sorry, I even heard a player interviewed one time who said that he thought it odd that Sandusky traveled with a little boy. Sandusky is a monster, and all those who looked the other way, especially Paterno, are vile.
