I get that people can freeze up in situations like this, but he was watching a child be raped and he had the ability to stop it without even engaging a physical altercation (ignoring the fact that he is a large and physically strong person and the rapist was a naked old man in a shower). Even giving him the benefit of the doubt of panicking, he didn't panic for 10 years
Good points, I basically saved a female cops life during law school during a traffic stop attack in broad daylight (long story AND CSB) no one stopped to help but me and MOST people I tell the story to tell me they would not have stopped.

Yes why did the DA do nothing? And that same DA went missing in 2005! JoePa must have ordered the hit. Dude is like a mob boss!!!

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing" -- Edmund Burke
What if...
The GA who witnessed the attack (or his father)had made even an anonymous phone call to Child Protective Services over what he saw at least to shine a light on Sandusky?
JoePa had practiced what he preached and "done the right thing" and insisted that Curly and Schultz and Granier report the incident to CPS, at the very least?
Yes, the program and JoePa would likely have taken a hit and he maybe even would have had to resign, but at least he would be able to look in the mirror and not feel like the biggest hypocrite ever.
Remember, this was all taking place when the abuse in the Catholic Church was heavily covered in the media. It's likely that McQueary wanted his dream job (and his witness of the crime assured that as long as he kept quiet. JoePa couldn't stand to think of losing his venerated demi-god status and the "administration" didn't want the monetary liability of a huge settlement to even one victim.
Personally, I think this thing goes a whole lot deeper than what we know so far. It all stinks the high heavens, even the coincidence of the missing DA.
