McQueary was the one who should have called the cops since he was the one who saw it.

I'll go further than that. McQueary was in his late 20s, something like 6'4" or 6"5, a former football player in his athletic prime. Sandusky was in his mid- to late-60s.

McQueary should have stopped the rape and physically restrained Sandusky while he called the police. If Sandusky happened to accidentally slip on the soap and hit his head against the tile several times, or miraculously slip upwards and impale himself by the shower head on his rectum while the police were on their way . . . well . . . those thiings happen.

McQueary was a coward and his behavior was probably the most reprehensible of anybody in the bunch.

BTW, if you look at the Grand Jury Report you'll notice that another incident of child sex abuse by Sandusky was observed by a janitor, who couldn't bring himself to make a report. Maybe if we try real hard we'll find a way to blame Paterno for that.

JoePa knew what went on in his house. If one of JoePa's players broke curfew twenty miles away, JoePa knew about it. When the janitor observed Sandusky abusing the child (I'm not going back to the two GJ documents, and I don't recall if this is my Penn State source or the GJ, but this was when he had the kid against the wall and Sandusky was orally sodomizing him, right, in 2000?), he may not have told the police, but you can bet JoePa found out about it. Those were JoePa's showers.

I'm no where near that big and I like to think I would have beaten Sandusky to a bloody pulp.

With regard to things going on with Paterno's knowledge, people like Sandusky are known to be pretty good about hiding their true nature and their activities.

I'm inclined not to endow Paterno with omniscience and give him the benefit of doubt until shown otherwise.

And even if you suspect something, you still can't act on suspicion. Sandusky was basically cleared in the first investigation.

You are my favorite FReeper! Now please do not file any claims of harassment of any sort against me! But what you say is EXACTLY what should have happened. This guy, mcQUEERY is positively vile.
