Hmmm. I am confused about my role in this. Speak up and send the child molester to prison or keep quiet and allow more children to be molested.

...the week before he died, Paterno was interviewed, and when directly asked why he didn’t take a more active role in this, his response was that Sandusky didn’t report to him any more, and he didn’t want to insert himself and screw things up...

...yes this is lame, and this is, as I’ve repeatedly said, is the basis for my feeling that Paterno laid aside his honor at a time it really meant something...but the administration was more responsible for pedophile enabling than Paterno...

“1998 was fully investigated and no charges were filed.”

Yep. The commander of the PSU police station shut it down. time to moveon.org

Possible, but JP was part of it all.

I remember seeing JP (informal interview) speak. His first words were to the effect that we don’t know that JS may be guilty.

WTF! JP knew at least in 1998 the JS was a child molester.

1998 was investigated by the state police, local police, and campus police. It was Gricar’s call to not prosecute.

You aren’t real good with facts.

...we don’t know that for sure...let’s just say he’d heard rumors, and may have had suspicions...

Let’s use common sense. He knew.

...yes, common sense would indicate that...I think when McQueary came to him, his suspicions were confirmed, and was a crushing time for him...McQueary described him as distraught, slumping and sighing in dismay, consistent with someone who desperately wants something to be untrue, and knowing that his worst fears are being realized...

And what if your neighbor was NOT lying?

I've already given the proof and the consequences of what happens when someone IS LYING......so give it up. Your anal retentive fixation on Paterno's perceived guilt is quite disturbing and not worth discussing any more.........

So, if a neighbor saw someone molesting your daughter you would not want to know since the consequences of his possibly lying are worse than the molestation?
