Not at all does it change the meaning.

He was not “caught” the second time either if you want to get specific - he was “observed” engaging in anal sex in the shower with a child who was “observed” to be around 10 years old.

What was Paterno supposed to do about the 1998 incident? I don't know, how about what any decent human being should do? Report it to the Police, follow up on it, remove him from his job (which he apparently did, but still allowed him to run around PennStatePedo with young men).

What was Paterno supposed to do about the 2002 incident? I don't know, how about what any decent human being should do? Report it to the Police, follow up on it, remove him from Penn State permanently.

To claim Paterno couldn't remove Sandusky from the grounds of PennStatePedo football strains credulity.

I am not that credulous.

The guy was working out at the PennStatePedo gym last week reportedly, some nine years after the SECOND report of him being in the shower with a male child.

That may be what passes for decent human behavior at PennStatePedofileU - but it is a far cry from what most people I know would expect.

That's what bothers me about all of this. Paterno was a grandfather many times over. I'm a grandfather myself. If I learned of inappropriate behavior, regardless of whether it explicit in detail or just implied, and I reported it to my bosses and knew that the guy was still walking around free years later, I couldn't live with it. I would have been talking to the cops on my own in short order.

Actually, "caught in the act" more often than not means being seen in the act.

Um, that was reported to the police. The police declined to charge Sandusky.

Read the Grand Jury report. It appears he had a long conversation about it with the head of the University Police

remove him from Penn State permanently.

And how, exactly, is he supposed to do that if the AD & head of the University Police Department and maybe the PSU prez himself are covering for him?
