Why on earth would anyone cover up for this guy? I hope all those that had knowledge of this mans acts are held accountable for and get what they deserve and MUCH worse. This story makes me sick to my stomach.
Well, hold on to the guardrails.... because this ship is headed to some serious-ass heavy seas, if this latest speculation has an ounce of truth to it... and I hope it doesn't, but as bad as this tragedy is, I wouldn't put this past the child-raper, so try this on for size....
How about the pedophile actually pimping out his young boy-lovers to Penn State money donors.... does that sound too incredible?
I wish.....
Penn State Scandal: Jerry Sandusky Rumored To Have 'Pimped' Boys To Donors: REPORT
I was hoping this was a sick joke... don't think it is, though...
I know he didn't do it. But didn't be do his part and report it long ago?
He was worried about his career of course but not the higher up who made the decision to continue the cover up, right? Just seems sad is all.
This just went from worse to .....what comes after worse? horrific? I have no words for this new allegation. How very tragic for these children that not one adult stood up for and protected them from these monsters as should have been. I just got a lil sicker.
that is incorrect. it absolutely is criminal and both McQueary and Paterno are mandated reporters meaning they have a legal obligation to report child abuse to the Police. its a Felony that they failed to report and are not exempt.While you can fault Paterno for not calling the authorities when those above him swept this under the rug, I do not see that Paterno has done anything criminal. He did what he was supposed to do and those above him failed miserably in their responsibilities. I also feel that McQueary failed miserably. McQueary is the only one who actually witnessed the incident in question and has so far been given a pass. McQueary witnesses the assault as it was happening and not only did nothing to stop it, he did not even tell anyone about it until the next day. Even if Paterno had gone to the authorities, nothing could have happened without McQueary talking to the cops. Paterno telling the cops would be nothing more than hearsay since he did not actually witness anything. I do not understand why so many people are singling out Paterno for such scorn. There are several other people who had far more responsibility to act. This is borne out by the fact that Paterno has not been charged with any crime. In my mind, McQueary is definitely more at fault than Paterno since he actually witnessed the criminal act and never went to the authorities. As the person who actually witnessed the crime, he had a legal responsibility to report it to the authorities, not wait until the next day to tell Paterno. The idea that Penn State is allowing McQueary to continue in his job at the university is an embarrassment, particularly in light of what they have done to Paterno. I also do not understand why McQueary has not been charged in this incident. Is McQueary getting special treatment from the authorities so that he will testify?!?! Penn State needs to fire McQueary now!!!

social workers, teachers and other school personnel, physicans and health care workers, mental health workers, child care providers, medical examiners, coroners and law enforcement are required by state statute to report child abuse to the police. both were employed by the school making them school personnel.
these professionals can be held liable by both the civil and criminal legal systems for intentionally failing to make a report detailing exactly what they knew and when they knew it as well as what they did to prevent it from happening again.
