I'm inclined to think he thought Sandusky was doing something he shouldn't be doing but that the authorities tasked with determining such things found that it didn't reach the level of being destructively traumatic and had it under control.

You are correct. Fifty year-old guys fondling ten year olds in Joe's showers is not that big of a deal. After all, was the boy crying or did the boy get off during the fondling.

LOL. You sure seem to know your facts about the case. How old was Sandusky?

And "Joe's showers"? Did he have the power to keep Sandusky out of them.

With regard to showering with kids, if the head of the school police didn't think it a big deal; and the local LEO's didn't think it a big deal in '98, what exactly is Paterno supposed to do about it?
