A grad assistant goes by the locker room on a Friday night to drop off some shoes. When he gets there, he notices that the lights are on in the shower room and that the shower is running. Over the sound of the shower, he hears a rhythmic slapping noise as if sexual activity is occurring. Note that he heard this from outside the shower room over the sound of a running shower.
He steps in the shower room and sees a naked Sandusky pounding away on a ten-year-old child from behind. The child is bent over with both hands against the wall as Sandusky continues to make that slap slap slapping sound as his groin beats against the child's buttocks.
The graduate assistant visits Paterno at his home the following morning and recounts to him exactly what he had seen and heard. He was quite explicit in letting Paterno know that Sandusky was anally raping that boy.
So what does Paterno do? He sits on it for 24 hours. The next day, he calls the AD and gives him a different account of what occurred than the one he received from the graduate assistant.
Scapegoat? Not in a million years. Paterno should spend his remaining years in prison. Now explain that one to your four kids and ask them if they think Paterno is a scapegoat.
I read something interesting on a thread from another site.....a person who is in the Penn State community said that the mother of one of the Sandusky victims back in the 90s was given a black SUV (like a Navigator or Expedition) to keep her mouth shut about Sandusky fondling her son. Now....who forked over the money for that....and who all knew about it since obviously rumors got around.....
Oh please. I know the case. You can stop the condescension and actually try to have a discussion.
McQuery, the 28 yr old former football player and grad assistant witnesses Sandusky anally raping a 10 old boy and doesn’t intervene. He then waits until the next day to tell Paterno, and what he EXACTLY tells Paterno isn’t known even today.
Paterno reports it to his supervisor per law.
My four kids know the story. Fortunately, they don’t listen to people like you so all’s good here. The two in college and the one in 10th and the one in 8th grade know what the liberal media is all about. They know what is happening to our country.
