MM said - swore - under oath that he never saw any sort of anal intercourse or rape.

How you interpret what he said he heard is up to you. He’s changed his story at least 5 times. Victim #2 says horseplay. Victim #2 is suing PSU based on LATER actions - away from the University. Why isn’t he suing based on MM’s shower scenario?

MM also told his father and his father’s friend - both doctors and both MANDATORY reporters (unlike Joe Paterno) what he saw that night, and told them both THREE times “nothing sexual”.

So sift through all this and continue to blame the ONLY person who did exactly what he was supposed to do under PA law (Joe Paterno).

I can't for the life of me understand why you'd be defending the actions of anyone at Penn State. Sandusky was a known predator.

And again, you're twisting the facts.

I'm not going to track down point by point refutations, and I'm not going to accept your telling me that McQueary was not a mandated reporter, morally or legally.

I'll refer you to this passage of the wiki page on McQueary, and leave it at that:

The university senior vice president and others have been charged with perjury for saying that McQueary had reported only horseplay at the time. A prominent Pennsylvania nephrologist (kidney doctor) says that he was present when McQueary described the incident to his father and the description mentioned hearing but not seeing a slapping sound in the other room, seeing Sandusky put his hand around the child's waist and later emerging wearing a towel.[14] Mike McQueary's testimony for the preliminary perjury trial says that he heard 'two or three' slapping sounds before entering the locker room, and later saw Sandusky with his arms around the child's waist while hearing 'more than one' of the showerheads running and saw that the child's hair 'was wet'; although he did not see any sexual contact of hands or genitals or any evidence of arousal, just from the positions of the bodies he knew it was 'over the line' and 'extremely sexual' and 'some sort of intercourse' was taking place, and that he tried to explain what he had seen to Coach Paterno by using the word 'fondling.'[15]

Paterno can rot in hell, he was no hero.
