I avoided reading this thread yesterday to enjoy the big game. Feel dirty now.
Sandusky, as depicted, is obviously a scumbag. Not to diminish that, but I'm actually more galled by the stunning lack of action taken by everyone else who became aware of this situation. Criminal negligence and reckless, endangerment on an institutional scale, imo.

I am not saying the grad assistant is a "horrible person" but in this case he broke the law and should be punished for doing so.
And I know you or others will come back with the whole "well he reported to a higher authority in JoePa." I mean, come on. A FOOTBALL COACH isn't higher authority imo when it comes to a situation like this. There isn't a defense to stupidity.
Ikestoys may think me harsh for this, but a 28 year old man should never need to "flee the scene" and immediately call his father upon witnessing something like this. I've seen some pretty weird and subservient child-parent relationships revealed on these forums, but this **** is simply not normal. It is your life, not your parents'. When **** happens, you should figure it out! Go call your parents, WTF? "Flee the scene", what did he have the vapors?!?!?!
I am just getting a sickening sickening feeling of what went through the 10 year old's mind when he saw someone walk in on the abuse and then turn tail and run. Must have been a complete loss of any hope and utter powerlessness.
The best way to lock up a pedophile is to catch him in the act, with **** on his dick. **** that pussy for failing in most likely his only opportunity to be a hero in life. Repeatedly failing. Every goddamned day he
chose to not take his eyewitness account to the police. Let me guess, his father told him not to go to the police after that?
**** Joe Paterno. Only thing he needed to say to the GA was, "WHAT THE **** ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?!?! YOU SHOULD BE TELLING THIS TO THE POLICE, YOU DUMBASS!"
Obviously **** the AD, campus police guy, and the president for their do-nothing cover-up no sense at all that there are children being victimized on your watch bull**** performance.
