Good, that dirtbag never reported this monster to the Police. Hopefully he also never gets honored for his coaching wins, since he’s rendered them meaningless by turning a blind eye to that monster.

You sound like a Pitt fan?

Look the guy (Sandusky)is married and has at least one child. Do you think his family knew he was a monster.?
If you took any time to read the accounts of the story the grad assistant didn't tell Paterno the details of what he witnessed.
Paterno passed what information he had along to his superiors.
If you witnessed something of this nature at work (assuming you don't own the company), would you tell your boss or call the cops?

Gee, I guess lynching is really in vogue right now. Joe Paterno got a third hand report of an inappropriate action by a retired coach. He immediately reported it to his superiors. He was not a witness, and there has been no report that he had prior indications that Jerry Sandusky was a child abuser.

My real question is, why is the press so up in arms. Aren’t we supposed to embrace homosexuality, and isn’t intergenerational sex supposed to be the next taboo that is to be abolished???

Paterno stayed in coaching way too long, and by doing so he has exposed himself as someone who was not looking out for the best intrests of his university and people in general.

I just read the Grand Jury indictment via a link in a previous thread. It sounds like the Penn State administrators were only worried about protecting the school’s reputation, with little concern about learning the truth.

But the testimony about the 2002 shower incident is particularly strange. If the timeline is correct, several people didn’t see any need to immediately report a serious crime to the police:

The 28-yr old graduate assistant reportedly saw Sandusky sodomizing a 10-yr old boy in the locker room shower; then the assistant left the area, went to his office, and telephoned his father. His father told him to leave the building and come home.

The next morning, the graduate assistant notified Paterno, and the day after that Paterno notified Athletic Director Curley. Then 1.5 weeks later, Curley met with the graduate assistant.

From the moment the 28-yr old assistant witnessed the sodomy being performed on the juvenile victim, none of these Penn State air-heads thought to immediately help the 10-yr old boy. Morally, ethically, and perhaps legally, they were wrong.

If the graduate assistant is telling the truth (the Grand Jury said he is credible), Paterno and Curley should be ashamed of themselves.
