“Why would Paterno need to leave if he had nothing to do with the scandal?”

According to the indictment, the second time this guy was caught in the shower (having anal sex with a young boy), the witness reported it directly to Paterno.

Paterno reported it to the AD...not the police...didn’t fire the guy, and apparently didn’t even admonish him for it.

Joe is king of all things football at Penn State. He could have fird the guy on the spot - but instead he pushes it on up the COC?

Sadly, it looks like Joe ignored the problem - and this guy was left to find even more victims.

No he could not as Sandusky had resigned three years earlier.

I'm calling BS on this.
Everything I've read indicates that all the reported behavior took place AFTER Sandusky retired in 1999.
How could Paterno fire the guy when he didn't work for him at the time the incident took place???
Take your BS to a Buckeye site.

If true, then Paterno should lose his retirement completely!

I haven't been following this. What was a young boy doing in a college shower?

Or was it a 17-year-old Freshman?
