Wrong. Paterno alerted the Campus Police, which were/are the police force for University Park (the campus but a real police force since it’s considered a separate entity from the town of State College). He alerted his superiors who alerted the campus/real police force, who in turn were supposed to follow through. Also, Sandusky wasn’t a Coach at the time of the supposed incident (which wasn’t a part of the case-thrown out for lack of evidence).
A new law was established in PA to deal with this after this case but nevermind...some people refuse to read the actual evidence and court transcripts and just go by what the MSM decided to report, lol, regardless of how biased and non-factual.
BTW, the assistant coach who reported the alleged rape, that was thrown out and never charged,since they couldn’t find a victim, changed his story (again).
Yes, Paterno should have gone to the media directly when his reports to normal channels were being sandbagged. However, what evidence is there to indicate that the media would have done their job even then?
