Mike McQueary, the assistant Nittany Lions coach who told a grand jury that in 2002 he saw former coach Jerry Sandusky sexually assault a young boy, has been placed on administrative leave. The move was announced by Penn State Interim President Rod Erickson at a news conference that began at 4 p.m.

yeah but he was twenty-friggin eight at the time...not 18
Graham Spanier’s activities merit close attention.
Did he work hand in hand with Sandusky?
Were children enticed to football camps, then pimped out and passed around to other pedophiles?
Morally vapid. Protecting the institution more important than the kids.
I’m ashamed to say I’m a Penn State alum. Graduated in ‘65. Different school then. I was proud to be from Penn State. That changed in the early 70s when the school embraced Karl Marx. At first I was just very disappointed. Now I’m very ashamed.
Little boy (now big boy): He was the guy with the red hair.
I stopped something illegal It cost $7k and a year in court. Unless your willing to kill and dispose, it gets grey.
Oh please, spare me the faux compassion. McCreary, younger and at least as big as Sandusky, simply walked away. He allowed the rape to continue because his first instinct was to protect the institution—not the kid being molested. He absolutely did not do the right thing—at all.
I’m Penn State class of 1965.
I’ve watched a school of which I was proud lose its soul on the Altar of Karl Marx.
I'm thinking he was 18 when he saw the rape in the shower, and is 28 now.
Good point!!! Also, the prosecutors want more of the molested youngsters to come forward but the backlash against McQueary is probably discouraging those youngsters from coming forward. I'm sure each is thinking, "If an adult like McQueary isn't safe as a witness then I will never be safe if I come forward".
So McQueary tells his superior, Coach Paterno, and he gets put on administrative leave but Paterno tells his superior, the Athletic Director, and he gets fired? Only in academia would that make sense.
We as employees assume that the company will do the right thing while protecting the institution and other employees. I guess what this case tells us is that we can not trust the company line. In fact, Penn State is even telling its staff not to follow the company line. Furthermore, Pennsylvania prosecutors are telling citizens to protect themselves by going authorities despite what the LAW says.
It's a little more than that. He saw a young boy being raped and he did nothing to stop it. He is not a man, he is a despicable worm. No decent person should have anything to do with this miserable low life. He's just lucky it wasn't my son he let some monster rape. My righteous indignation would be worse than anything he could imagine.
Not in Texas. If you do not report directly to law enforcement, you are yourself guilty of a crime. I tend to believe that is also the case in Pennsylvania.
Frequently doing the right thing will cost you. It’s the way of the world.
Not doing the right thing will cost you. It's the way when you leave this world.
There is this notion in our society to not involve oneself with other people’s business and to not be “judgmental” of other people’s actions. A “who are we to judge?” attitude.
Then there also is the fear of legal action should one accuse someone else of wrongdoing.
We pride ourselves of being a country of laws when, in reality, we are a country of lawyers.
It must not be the case in Pennsylvania because McQueary did not report the act and still has not been indicted.
In some states, "mandated reporters" must report things like this to the police. That includes nurses, teachers, EMTs, doctors and members of management. I don't think that McQueary would be considered a "mandated reporter" in this case but all of the others above him would be.
He was 28 when he saw the rape.
>>Graduated in ‘65. Different school then.<<
.
Different country then.
He played QB for PSU in the 1996 and 1997 seasons, so he certainly wasn’t 18 years old in 2002.
