He would send someone who looked the other way
That is the biggest crock of crap ever written on Free Republic. You should be ashamed of yourself for being so nasty and completely inaccurate. He did 100 percent what he was supposed to do by law. Now you better apologize (not to me but to Joe Paterno and his family for your libel).
Sorry to burst your bubble, but a number of people went to JoPa and told him what they heard about Sandusky, and also what the SAW Sandusky doing in the locker room . . . I didn't make this up . . . and JoPa didn't do $hit about it.
My sympathies go to the poor victims of Sandusky's perverted behavior and JoPa's looking-the-other-way. It's hard to say what I'd do to JoPa if one of MY kids had been sodomized by Sandusky and after going to JoPa with my concerns, he'd either ignore it or look the other way.
I’d say laweeks assessment of the situation is probably quite accurate.
That's the extent of his obligation? File the report, wash his hands, and walk away, thumping his chest in sanctimonious piety that "I've done my duty"?
You know there is always the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. Lots of things are legal but are they ethical? How could none of the Paterno family not known about Jerry Sandusky? This was JoePa’s No. 2 guy for decades. It is always the cover up that is much worse than the crime and JoePa proved this. At minimum JoePa was protecting his legacy/reputation at worst he was covering for other booster pedohiles in the PennSate family.
If it’s really libel as you claim, then let the family sue him and prove what he said was a lie.
Of course they won’t, because they can’t, because it’s not a lie.
