Penn State Sex Abuse Scandal (Indictment Post #144, "Pimping" Allegations Post #442)

[Hoofbite]

Scumbags. The whole lot. Just indefensible.

Anyone who had a smidgeon of suspicion and didn't take it somewhere should share in the responsibility.

Telling your boss is not considered "reporting it."

Money quote...

"sexual nature with a kid" should be immediately reported to the police. Period

Just a sad sad deal. I'm sorry but anybody that knew at all is guilty in my eyes. Just scum.

Kind of like the Roman Catholic church.

I would agree with that statement and it is worse for them because of what they are suppose to represent. I will leave it at that as to prevent breaking certain forum rules.

I completely agree. And I'm a devout Catholic. That situation was inexcusable much like this one.

This guy's rape count is getting close to a dozen and nobody knew...........

 

[burmafrd]

Joe knew a child was involved. That is clear. So anyone trying to claim he should not have done more is full of crap.

 

[RoyTheHammer]

I think its funny that everyone is condemning Joe when police knew of Sandusky's actions as early as 1998 and nothing was done about it until now.

Comdemn our government and shoddy police work.

The police and DA office knew.. as far back as 1998.

There will be plenty more... traditionally, serial offenders are charged with a fraction of the crimes they committed because of the sheer volume of evidence involved. They get enough to put them away for good...

I would imaging there are dozens of boys involved dating back some 20-30 years...

The DA back then needs o be called out they wonder why people do not trust the police or government to do their jobs we see it in cases like this every time a systematic break down at all levels and i think the DA at the time should take a lot of heat for this.

Why should Joe get a pass if the police don't?

They can't both be responsible?

All who knew are trash.

why can't we condem them all? obviously not to the same degree, but there is enough guilt to blame the accuser, the police, the DA, Joe Paterno, the AD, University President and possibly more.

 

[RoyTheHammer]

They also knew he founded a charity organization that had Sandusky in close contact with young boys all the time


.. and still nothing was done.

But yea, this is all Joe Pa's fault because he "was told" about one of the incidents, even though he went right to his superior with the information and a meeting was held the next day between Joe's superior and the assistant who actually witnessed the crime.

That DA has been missing without a trace since 2005... he was recently declared dead for the family's sake...

Nobody is saying it is all Joe Pa's fault. We are saying anyone who knew should be held accountable.

The DA is dead...or missing. Ray Gricar.

And there is STILL a difference.

The DA only knew about the 1 incident in 1998. And they may have had their reasons for *legally* not being able to indict Sandusky.

However, Penn State allowed Sandusky to continue to stay on campus and have FULL ACCESS to the facilities AND allowed him to continue to bring young boys to the campus for 4 more years.

Then in 2002, he was caught raping a 10 year old boy and Penn State knew about it, but the police did not.

And the 'punishment' was that Sandusky was allowed to STAY ON CAMPUS, but he couldn't bring young boys with him. And apparently he violated THAT in 2007 with bringing another child to a game.

AND THEY STILL ALLOWED HIM TO STAY ON CAMPUS AND RUN FOOTBALL CAMPS UNTIL 2010.

Anybody blaming the DA for not being able to indict Sandusky in 1998, when we don't know if he had the evidence to legally prosecute and passing the blame from Paterno is ridiculous.

It's two completely different circumstances.

Joe was told by a grad student that his longtime friend was doing something sexual with a little boy one time.

He went straight to his superior with the news and a meeting was arrainged the next day between his superior and the student and Joe was told by his superior it was being taken care of.

Should he have gone to the police first? Yes.

But he told university officials right away, even though it was his longtime friend who was being accused.

The only fault Joe has right now in my mind is that he went to university officials instead of the police. How should he have known that they would do nothing? All of them?

Even if he had told police, who's to say they would do anything about it?

Would you all still condemn him if he had told police and they had done nothing about it again?
