I'm someone who has reported crime and been sneered at by the cops, and I know others who have. PA is among our more corrupt States, and McQ grew up there. He knew that Sandusky was a powerful guy who had enticed millionaires into financing his "foundation." He knew better than some of the self-righteous vicarious heroes and second-guessers here what could happen if he went up against S. alone, his word against S's. He reported it to authorities, and from then on it was their game. They are to blame.
Forget reporting it!
He should have bashed Sandusky's head in with a pipe, then let Sandusky explain why he and the boy are naked in the shower and the boys anus is bleeding.
McQueary looked into the eyes of a 10-year-old boy, who was in the process of being raped and McQueary ran away.
He ran away and left the boy there to fend for himself.
