The first incident he was “caught” in that the child reported it to his mother.
When I was a child sneaking out after bedtime with a friend - and later he told his mother - and his mother told my dad - I considered myself “caught” sneaking out after bedtime.
But that is just semantics.
PennStatePedo football had a record of TWO incidents of this guy in showers with male children. One in 1998 before his removal, and another one in 2002. By the time 2011 rolled around the guy shouldn't have still been hanging around PennState. If there were decent people associated with PennStatePedo football the guy would have been in jail for most of the last decade.
It changes the whole meaning of what you implied.
In the one incident, the mother contacted law and they investigated.
And they declined to file charges, just simply warning him not to shower with kids.
What was Paterno supposed to do about that?
Other than, maybe, tell Sandusky he's through which he apparently did.
By the time 2011 rolled around the guy shouldn't have still been hanging around PennState.
Maybe, but Paterno wouldn't have had the power to kick him out. Sandusky was a prof emeritus.
I'm not so sure he was hanging around PSU that much in 2011, btw. The abuse investigation started in 2008 & he was booted out of Second Mile that year because of it.
