Holy crap, I just finished reading through all of the charges.

I'm not sure how Joe Pa could not have known about this if these allegations are true.

Yeah, after reading that I think Spanier should resign and they should clean house in the athletic department. How could none of them follow up on this?

I don't understand who or what they were trying to protect by covering it up. If I was told about something like this I would be throwing everyone around me under the bus to cover my own ass. I'd be on the phone with the police immediatly.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil...

Why didn't the graduate assistant call the police? Why didn't anyone the graduate assistant spoke with about the matter (including Paterno) call the police?

When a grown man is in the shower alone with a boy in your facilities, you call the fucking police. You don't tell the coach and the AD. Sickening how people lose sight of who the authorities really are...

I wouldn't compare covering up tattoos and chump change for trinkets with covering up child sexual abuse.

What happened at Ohio State was pathetic and stupid. What's happening at Penn State is loathsome and evil.

Here is the section from the PA Child Protective Service Law

§ 3490.13. Reports by employes who are required reporters.

(a) Required reporters who work in an institution, school, facility or agency shall immediately notify the person in charge of the institution, school, facility or agency or the person in charge’s designee of suspected abuse. The person in charge, or the designee, shall be responsible and have the obligation to make a report of the suspected child abuse to ChildLine immediately. Nothing in this chapter requires more than one report from any institution, school, facility or agency.

(b) The person in charge or the designee may not make an independent determination of whether to report. The person in charge or the designee shall notify the employe when the report was made to ChildLine.

(c) Notwithstanding subsection (a), nothing in this chapter prohibits an employe who is a required reporter from making a report directly to ChildLine.

Source


The provisions of this § 3490.13 adopted December 20, 1985, effective January 1, 1986, 15 Pa.B. 4547; amended July 2, 1999, effective July 3, 1999, 29 Pa.B. 3513. Immediately preceding text appears at serial pages (236833) and (211721).

So Jopa did what was necessary, nothing more. This law doesn't have much teeth though its hard to get someone charged with failure to report.

Yeah, figured that he likely didn't cross any legal lines. Still, his actions/inactions on the matter rate about a 0 on the morality scale.

"Hey Jerry, I know we're buddies and all so this is kinda awkward, but can you try to not be a pedophile anymore? No? Well, can you at least take it off-campus? No? Oh well, I tried..."

First, and I can't explain why, but the use of "Joepa" is pissing me off. It's fucking annoying honestly.

Second, all involved in the cover-up and/or shitty reporting should have something bad happen to them, at minimum loss of employment with no severance.

Bottom line, the whole thing is bullshit. They had all the indicators and ignored them and let these children become his victims. I hope that someone takes care of this sick fuck in prison for a long, long time. Then he can experience being someone else's "boy" for the rest of his life maybe.

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.

I don't get how that bastard could show his face in the football workout facilities with McQueary around (who witnessed him anally raping a 10 year old). And how could McQueary live with himself knowing what he saw and that nothing was done about it?

If I witnessed that and I saw the bastard on a daily basis afterward I don't think I would last a week without killing him.

They should all be ashamed of themselves, Paterno too. Wasn't this rapist under investigation in 2009? Why would they let someone like that still work out in their gym until the case was resolved? LOL
