that old piece of shite is almost as bad as Sandusky.



I can't go that far. He certainly fricked up 10 years ago, and being fired was the easy route for him, but based on what we know I'm not putting anyone else even close to the level of Sandusky.

Everyone at Penn St., that covered up for him should be prosecuted and that would include Joe Pa if he were still alive, but those crimes are not close to what Sandusky did IMO.

By not reporting the incident, they made possible every molestation that occurred after 2002. By continuing to socialize and supply access for Sandusky after this incident, they very clearly were participants in these later crimes through their gross negligence and depraved indifference.

Yes, perhaps a bit of difference, but very little difference in moral culpability.

almost is a relative term but I know what you mean. I wouldn't doubt if the prostitution ring story had some truth

One of the many articles out there quotes Joe Pa as saying, in response to why he did not get more involved, that " I was confused. I didn't even know anything bout rape & males". I would have loved to have had him on the witness stand for cross examination by a prosecutor. He would have been made a total fool of.

I disagree.
Sandusky, as a child molester, was completely screwed up in the head.
These are normal people that knew what he was doing and allowed it to continue with more and more victims just to cover their arse.
That is equally as bad, if not worse, IMO.
