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?
Well, first of all I'd put a beat down on Sandusky, and I'm not Mike McQueary. Then, I'd call the cops.
What on earth would lead someone to turn the other way and let that rape continue? That was a TEN YEAR OLD KID BEING ANALLY RAPED!!! It seems that it'd be hard wired into any normal person to intervene.
What does that say about the culture of Penn State? These coaches walk around like Gods and no one questions their actions.
This whole story is disgusting.
I'd call the cops. Actually, I'd like to think I would have punched the fellow out and dragged the poor kid out of there.
OTOH, if someone simply told me about it without going into specifics, and I wasn't really sure I believed it, I'd probably would just pass it down the line, if that.
IMO, his wife knew or suspected. According to GJ testimony, at her husband's request, she called Victim # 7 on the phone several times before Sandusky was arrested, trying to get the boy not to testify or something or other. ... What a distasteful spectacle.
