It basically ruined McQueary's life also. Lost his job/career, basically went into hiding. I think his wife may have left him also(might be off on this point).

That's what happens when you catch a guy raping a kid and leave to go call your daddy I suppose.

I'm just offended at what was done to Sandusky.

Imagine typing these words and hitting “Submit” so other people could read it.

The other much less creepy but strange part about your conspiracy theory is this was to get rid of Paterno when they were coming off 3 top 10 finishes in 5 years when the grand jury investigation started if I remember right

Seems like you could plant a few stories about recruits getting paid and not stain your university forever with a brutal child rape and cover up story if that was the goal

But I’ve given you too much thought already

Wasn’t there someone on here that said Sandusky was actually innocent?

Not necessarily. However, the “Mike McQueary told Paterno he saw Sandusky raping a kid in the showers” was a carefully crafted lie by the PA Office of Attorney General. Here’s a summary of the official record:

- At the time, Sandusky had been retired for two years. He was the head of the 2nd Mile, the largest provider of foster and mentoring services for at risk youth in central PA. The Office of AG had ultimate accountability for the 2nd Mile. 2nd Mile was where Sandusky was matched with his victims.
- McQueary saw Sandusky in the shower with a youth
- McQueary went home, and talked it over with his dad and a Dr.Dranov. A local pediatrician whom McQueary’s dad was the office manager
- Dranov is a mandatory reporter, he testified under oath at the Sandusky trial that what McQueary told him did not rise to a reportable event as McQueary did not describe anything sexual to him. He was not charged with failure to report. Why wasn’t he charged with failure to report if an assault happened?
- they suggested that McQueary tell Paterno. This is consistent with seeing something creepy and uncomfortable but not reportable. If McQueary described an assault, logic would hold that Dranov would say they need to report it, not tell Paterno first!
-McQueary admitted he didn’t give Paterno any explicit details
- Paterno followed what is now current NCAA guidelines and bumped the report to the AD as well as the VP of Operations for the University (PSU police chief is a direct report). Paterno had no authority over Sandusky since he was retired. Paterno got out of the way which is what he was supposed to do.
- The PSU AD and VP of OPs talked with McQueary and concluded nothing illegal happened
- PSU AD spoke with the Operations Head of the 2nd Mile and said Sandusky can not bring 2nd Mile clients on campus anymore.
- Sandusky was found not guilty of the sexual assault charges for this victim at trial
- Emails were released between McQueary and the OAG where the OAG admitted they made up the anal rape in the grand jury presentment which set the university on fire.
- after the arrests, a Jeff Snedden conducted an investigation on behalf of the NSA and CIA into PSU President Graham Spanier as Spanier was the SME for those agencies for foreign nationals working on university research projects across the country. He concluded there was no cover up as no crime was committed. Louis Freeh refused to talk with him during the Freeh investigation

And John Ziegler has shown that McQueary waited six weeks before talking to Paterno about it, not a few days.

I do think they were in that situation schools get in with old timers where grandpa doesn't want to retire and nobody really knows how to handle it... but that's a hell of a way to solve the problem.

As I mentioned above, this is exactly what happened. Paterno and Bowden were duking it out for the NCAA record. The administration was looking for an excuse. Joe was trying to hand more authority to his son Jay, who most felt was a terrible coach.

Ironically, if they left Paterno alone, he probably was dead within a year anyway (I think the scandal probably accelerated things a bit).

quote:

Paterno knew for decades what Sandusky was doing.

According to who?

Paterno admitted he knew in multiple depositions with Penn State's insurers in lawsuits brought by claimants.

Paternos son railroaded Sandusky to protect his father. Sandusky was deemed guilty before people even knew who the victims were. There is alot wrong with the prosecution of Sandusky. If you are really wanting to know the truth, the evidence is out there. PS I'm not a Penn state fan but I did look at those who did the research in his defense.

2011 was the first time the public knew but not the first time abuse occured.

In 2014, Paterno's words in a deposition from a 1998 suit were unsealed which confirmed the incident, and that he knew of abuse as far back as 1976!!! Penn State paid 30 victims $93 MILLION !!!

Paterno ignored the 14 year old kid who came to him in person. The victim was identified only as John Doe 150(!).
