And in 2002, Kelly said, a graduate assistant saw Sandusky sexually assault a naked boy, estimated to be about 10 years old, in a team locker room shower. The grad student and his father reported what he saw to Paterno, who immediately told Curley, prosecutors said.

The two school administrators fielded the complaint from an unnamed graduate assistant and from Paterno. Two people familiar with the investigation confirmed the identity of the graduate assistant as Mike McQueary, now the team's wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator. The two spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the names in the grand jury report haven't been publicly released.

McQueary's father, John, said his son was out of town on a recruiting trip Sunday, and he declined to comment about the case or say whether they were the two named in the grand jury report.

This is just sickening. Unreal that a child rapist was raping a kid in the PSU showers in 2002 and a current assistant coach and Jopa never followed up on it. Yes, they "reported" it but a) They knew this guy had a charity working with kids and b) He was still allowed to attend games and hang with the team b/c he was friends with Jopa and the other coaches. It's sick that nobody, including Jopa followed up on this and allowed this monster to continue assaulting kids for almost a decade after that.

Not to mention the 7 other kids the guy raped.

Sick, IMO Penn State needs to fire all of them - Jopa included - and clean house to save their rep.

Update: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/20.../index.html?eref=sihp&sct=hp_t12_a2&hpt=hp_c2

Sandusky was retired in 2002, when the incident in question took place. But he continued to spend time in the Penn State football building, where the incident took place. Yahoo! Sports' Dan Wetzel reported Monday that Sandusky was seen working out in the Penn State weight room last week.

Penn State is a notoriously airtight program.

Nobody spends that much time in the football building unless Joe Paterno approves of it.

So this predator was working out in the PSU gym last week. That's just great.

Isn't this old news? These allegations surfaced like 5 years ago.

edit: Oh, they only now finished the investigation I guess.

Joepa should definitely retire. He didn't do anything that warrants criminal charges though. Sandusky should be locked away for life. What confuses me is why Spanier isn't distancing himself from the AD (curly) and the other guy.

If I were Spanier I'd be throwing Curly under the bus to save my own ass.

And Jopa wasn't even senile in 2002!

When do the "We are!" jokes start?

Why the hell didn't Jopa go to the police too? Why would you keep it strictly in house? Oh I get it, they were all friends. Uh huh.

I don't care if it was my best personal friend. If I heard numerous eyewitness accounts of him doing similar acts, I would go to the police my self.

Still, rumors are rumors. Jopa couldn't exactly go to police and say he heard through the grapevine that his friend was a pedophile.

Not to mention the fact that nobody really knows what the grad student actually told JoePa. If it's true that he was really vague then JoePa didn't have much to go on and probably did the right thing reporting the incident to the AD. Curley is the one who should really take the fall for covering it up.

As a PSU grad and working at a PSU campus, you should see how disgusted everyone is. All I can say is thank God he did not become head coach back in '99 or a bit before. I think the only way PSU can save face is to can EVERYONE who knew about this by the end of this week (preferably today). This includes Spanier (if he knew) and Paterno.

Well PSU's current wide receivers coach saw it firsthand, why didn't he go to the freaking police? Unreal. I still don't see why Jopa gets a pass, because he never followed up his initial report. He didn't do anything other than his job, and could have done a helluva lot more to get this rapist off the streets faster.

That's not gonna happen. The investigation has been going on for years, it's not gonna unravel in a day. My guess is Joepa will retire after this year. Not sure about Spanier.. my guess is he'll be fine. I doubt he had any involvement with a coverup. My guess is Curley just buried the allegations and Spanier never even knew about it until a few years ago when the real investigation started.

He didn't do anything illegal though. Could he have done more? Probably. He should step down for sure, but they aren't going to file criminal charges against him.

It is not a matter of investigation. People have been fired for SAYING things recently. People should be fired for NOT saying things this time around.

Joe should be gone immediately as he was informed and he barely did anything. Telling one person about it and not demanding action... shame. He is JoePa, he could demand anything and PSU would grant it.

Maybe, maybe not. IINAL, but I thought that most states had laws requiring public officials and/or public employees to report all crimes, especially ones perpetrated under their purview.

Yep, this would interesting to see what PA's laws are regarding what happened.

The best is now Sandusky is claiming he's not guilty through a lawyer. So PSU's AD and VP just resigned for their health? lulz

Of course he's claming he's not guilty. Why wouldn't he?

The AD didn't resign. He took a leave of absence to devote the time needed to defend himself. The VP just went back into retirement. He was already retired.. he was just back temporarily until they filled the vacancy.
