Geez, I hope not. Because you know, the idea that a sexual predator is only limited to little boys is not exactly the position I'd want to argue from a risk management perspective. Imagine if the dude kidnapped, raped, and murdered a coed? Maybe he was just into little boys because with him being in football and the foundation he created, they were his easiest access. Again, you go so far as to know enough that you keep him from bring kids on campus, you should pretty much just keep him away from campus altogether.

And if true, suggests he used his football/athletic department friendships/contacts to secure that access. Now, who knew what is obviously the question, but man, that looks AWFUL.

Gracious, the CNN article makes it sound like the ban was just on Second Mile kids, and not even all of campus...

Good question. But he's also a young 20-something year old kid. And he did have a conversation with the 2 guys who are charged with perjury, so that was his follow-up. I seriously doubt he knew that they changed his statement and/or didn't report it. Maybe he jsut assumed that a single eyewitness and no more wasn't sufficient grounds to bring charges. And that goes for Paterno, too. But obviously, Paterno seems to be in a much better and more powerful position to (a) know what's going on, beyond this incident, and (b) have the authority and pull to get answers, if he wanted to.

I just re-read that section of the Grand Jury report. He was told that he was prohibited "from bringing youth onto the Penn State campus."

Oh, and also the report mentions that even Schultz, who oversaw the University Police, admitted that the "ban" was completely unenforceable. And he didn't actually report it *to* the University Police.
So breaking it down, what it appears happened is that everybody just hoped the kid would never report it and it would therefore never come to light.

Maybe Sandusky was able to sneak this kid into whatever settlements Michael Jackson was making at the time.

I don't know this GA (I don't follow college football) but I take it he's a bigger name now than he was?
I'm sure he and Paterno were told "we'll take care of it," but I once again posit: if you see or hear about my kid being raped, I damn well want you to do more than tell the athletic director about it. That should just be step one. Make an anonymous call if yo'ure too scared to follow through, but you do something. |

McQueary was a PSU QB back in the mid-late 90s. He's now a WR coach and assistant. He's the redheaded guy you see on the sidelines. He's no different than most GAs who rise through the ranks with their alma mater after graduating, but he's definitely more well-known than some anonymous third-string CB who was a GA and now sells used cars.

Press conference with the PA Attorney General's Office just ended. Spokesperson (didn't catch her title) directly said that Paterno "did what he was supposed to do." (I believe that was the direct quote.)
However, someone asked if JoePa and McQueary might have increased culpability in this because they would have been present at the 2007 practice where he showed up. She responded that it was something they'd have to look into. The way she answered made it seem like they've very recently been made aware that he showed up at practice with a kid in 2007 (as in that it wasn't a part of the investigation at all.) She definitely left the door open on that question.

I think we can all agree that he did what he was supposed to do, but didn't do what he should have done

Yeah, I'm less interested in his legal culpability, and more interested in his moral/ethical obligations going forward. Both as a result of this incident, in terms of what he did/didn't do, and in the future, if he was aware Sandusky was on school grounds with kids/camps. Or even, why didn't he push to have him exiled permanently from the campus? Did he convince himself that McQueary was mistaken in what he saw? Was there more smoke to this fire generally from the 80s and on, and JoePa chose to ignore it? Is that why no one pushed this one incident, because they were afraid what more digging would find? Is this tied to his retirement?
There are a ton of questions that will ultimately bear on how we view JoePa, but right now, he's already significantly lowered in my estimation. I'm afraid what could come out would only drag him lower.

Francesca was saying that the campus police wrote a thirty page report in 1998. Is that in the grand jury report? If that's true it's impossible to believe that Joe didn't at least know of the report. If he knew in 1998 and then did the bare minimum in 2002 when this would have been at least the second incident Joe knew about, he should be ashamed. How many kids got raped after Joe and a number of Penn St. admin knew and did nothing?

I'm not going to be surprised if it turns out there was a lot of cover-up going on, which is a shame - while I never had any particular emotional investment in the story of Joe Paterno, it's always disappointing to find out that guys who are held up as positive examples turn out to have fundamental cracks in said facade. |

This is from a PSU forum:
Lance Z confirmed on Houston radio this morning what I had heard a couple of years ago. Kylie Wong was on several years ago talking about a PSU player in the league who told Kylie, Paterno sometimes showers with the team and even lathered up and washed dudes backs. Given Paterno's involvement in the coverup of a pedophile. AND the fact that Paterno's program paid for this creep to go on team trips and bowl games with kids AFTER he had been accused of sexual misconduct with children. Paterno should be the focus of an investigation regarding his involvement. |

I'm just getting caught up on all this and I'm horrified. Holy crap! Maybe Paterno and McQueeny did what they were supposed to do, legally, but morally they really should have followed it up far more than they actually did. Just wow.

But seriously, this is one of those situations that could spiral out of control. Imagine what Joe Poznanski is thinking right now - he's been living in PA for research to write a book about JoePa. Imagine what comes out, or what he might dig up. Would make the Walter Payton book look like a press release by comparison.

I just think its funny that so many PSU fans are the ones letting the rumors fly out of control. I guess it's normal for fans to report what they hear to try and be an "insider" but it's just making the story that much worse.

My question is why the GA didn't at the very least confront Sandusky when he saw the incident happening.

One thing I've read that a lot of the other stories seem to be omitting is that Sandusky WAS investigated by police in 1998 but the prosecutor decided not to file charges. I don't know how much that played into his resignation, or the decision by people apparently not to come forward when future incidents were learned about, but it just goes to show that "going to the police" doesn't necessary solve anything either (not that it shouldn't be done). That prosecutor that declined charges, by the way, disappeared 6 years ago was recently declared legally dead.
Also, I came across a USA today blurb from around 2000 that reported that Sandusky was "the leading candidate" for the Virginia head coaching job that Al Groh got. They probably did their research and may have known some stuff too....Sandusky doesn't appear to have been a serious candidate for any job after that.

Paterno may not be legally culpable at this point but I can't help but think so much less of him right now than I ever thought I could. It makes me sick.

I have wondered this as well, can only surmise that he panicked or just couldn't believe what he was seeing.....Hard to imagine walking in on that on not stopping it though. I hate these stories as a coach. Parents trust us with their kids and when we don't uphold that trust to the highest level we fail. When something like this happens it goes far, far beyond that. I am beyond appalled with the entire situation and that doesn't even include what I feel about that sonofabitch Sandusky. That interview with Kim Jones makes me just want to cry. |

I am shattered that a man would do this to anyone, let alone young boys. Paterno reported it and wrote it off? Seriously? The GA wasnt specific? What did he say? "Hey, I just saw something weird. Sandusky was with a little boy in the shower with no one around. But thats all I can say." And Paterno thinks "Well I reported it, nothing else I can do. But I will let him come to closed practices with boys and let him use the PSU facilities for overnight football camps."
This is just one of the worst things I have ever heard. Shame on Jerry Sandusky. Shame on Mike McQueary. And shame on Joe Paterno. They are all evil. |

Not really anything new, but the questions they bring up are ones that I don't think anybody expects a good answer from. I went and looked up on Rivals for PSU's next class and they are actually 2nd in the Big Ten. Granted they are only 19th in the nation. This is something that's going to hurt recruiting a ton. Odd to see only three Big Ten teams in the top 25 and two of them are PSU and OSU.

I thought of this SVU episode back when this story broke:
Watch Law & Order: SVU - Season 13 Episode 2: Personal Fouls Normally the "Law and Order" shows copycat the news - like the "Bartman" episode, to pick one - but they appear to have been in front of the news this time around. |

I have to believe there are details that we just don't know about.
If I am JoePa and I hear about this, I am going to Sandusky and asking him WTF? I haven't heard about him doing anything like that. I also agree with the question why didn't the GA do something about it when he saw it? |

Any number of scenarios could be true here, but the primary agenda was to protect themselves and the Penn State image. I probably sounded a little harsh and/or cynical when I said that yesterday, but the interview linked above is saying pretty much exactly the same thing.
