I think the even bigger story is the cover up from Paterno and school administrators, who are currently charged with perjury and failing to alert the police.(paterno not included in charges)


See. I have a huge problem with Joe Paterno not being charged. He should be.

According to the statement released Saturday by Pennsylvania attorney general Linda Kelly, the grand jury found that in March 2002, a then-graduate assistant (Mike McQueary, a former Nittany Lions quarterback who is now a fulltime assistant), witnessed Sandusky sexually assaulting an underage boy in the showers in the Lasch Football Building. According to Kelly, the graduate assistant went to Paterno's home "to explain what he had seen."

"As my grand jury testimony stated," Joe Paterno said in the statement, "I was informed in 2002 by an assistant coach that he had witnessed an incident in the shower of our locker room facility. It was obvious that the witness was distraught over what he saw, but he at no time related to me the very specific actions contained in the Grand Jury report. Regardless, it was clear that the witness saw something inappropriate involving Mr. Sandusky. As Coach Sandusky was retired from our coaching staff at that time, I referred the matter to university administrators."

He's basically saying he knew and yet did nothing. Didn't notify the cops or even follow up on this. Yes he should be charged just like those other clowns. The fact that Penn State is paying for their lawyer fees is laughable as well.

Yeah, I agree. I mean I really don't want to pass judgement on him because I don't know all the facts or the details, but it sounds like he had the opportunity to notify the police and he didn't. And if that's the case, he should be charged just like the others.
