Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 80735, member: 405"] One obvious difference is that the Penn State situation got launched into the public eye as the result of a very long criminal investigation by the police, with 8 victims' statements being made to the grand jury. I also think it's interesting that the victims in the Penn State case weren't that anxious to tell their stories, showing some scars from the experience and presumably not wanting to relive it. This guy accusing Bernie first went to the Syracuse Police several years ago and were rebuffed. Then he went to the University, who had Bond Schoeneck conduct a 4 month investigation that yielded nothing. And then the guy is quiet for 7 years, and is clearing piggy-backing on the Penn State publicity. [/QUOTE]
