I mean, there had to be rumors and assumptions. Grown men don't constantly room with boys. "Coach sure likes 12 year old boys...". Doesn't take a genius to sense something odd. Then he gets caught and instead of getting him some sort of help including prison, he is allowed to continue to prey on children. And use his charity and several aspects of Penn St. football to facilitate his crimes. And Joe Paterno isn't culpable? It's his program, his building, his guy.
He knew damn well Sandusky was ****d up and could have helped those kids. Instead he let it continue. Jesus, he let a child molester run a children's charity and bring victims to Penn St. events and facilities. He knew. He did nothing. And Sandusky was still around!!! "You can't bring kids to campus. Please molest elsewhere. But enjoy the use of the facilities and your office." stuff, they didn't even ban him from the campus or Penn State events!!! Just don't bring kids, ok Jerry?
And he probly worked football camps, etc. still. I mean if you played at PSU, worked there, went to functions, Sandusky may have interacted with your kids, been immersed in your family, trusted. How can they not call for the head of the man who let their own kids be exposed to a monster. I mean, holy stuff if this happened at 'Cuse. If you knew a head coach and administration allowed your kids to be exposed to a child molester? How could you feel the same about the program, the people, the university?
He knew. I have a feeling many "knew". But Paterno turned a blind eye. To raping children. This is really bad and gets worse the more you hear. This is devastating enough that some sick individual used his status at PSU to prey on children. To find out that it was sanctioned and enabled by the most respected man at PSU is disgraceful. If I'm an alum, ex-player, employee I'm demanding harsh consequences and total accountability. Way too many PSU fans are defending Paterno.
