From the Grand Jury report. Paterno was not told of the specifics of the rape. Only that sexual horseplay had happened. So Joe reported it up the chain of command expecting the AD to report it to his superior. That didnt happen but how was Joe to know?
Uh. Get your facts right. It was stated that McQueary told Joe what he had seen. Joe knew. Joe knew in 1998. They all knew. Why did they protect Sandusky? Did Sandusky have some 'special' knowlege pertaining to Spanier?
Paterno was told of the specifics. Two other PennStatePedo's were told the specifics. These other two are the ones who reduced it to “horseplay” and that is why they are being criminally charged.
Paterno was told that a 60 old man and a child were in the shower-what else do you need to know?
