Grand Jury Report in PSU Sex Scandal (if you can stomach it)

The link is below. I must say, having grown up just 30 miles from Penn State's main campus, and having family members and friends who have long been major Nittany Lions supporters, reading this report both breaks my heart and turns my stomach. Irrespective of the legal liability of the various parties involved, the moral culpability is shared up and down the line:

• from the graduate assistant who witnessed the rape of a 10 year-old boy by a 60 year-old retired assistant PSU football coach in progress, in the shower facilities used by the Nittany Lions, and neither (a) intervened immediately to stop the crime nor (b) called the police, and instead called his father;
  
  
• to the GA's father, who upon hearing his son's report of witnessing the rape, advised his son to go, not to the police, but to Penn State's head football coach, Joe Paterno;
  
  
• to Joe Paterno, who covered is ass and fulfilled his legal obligation to notify his superior, but neither called the police, nor followed up when it was clear no action had been taken;
  
  
• to Joe's organizational superior, the athletic director (now charged with perjury), who notified the University Vice President who was in charge of the campus police, and who was aware of prior allegations of a similar nature against Sandusky, but like Paterno, never followed up;
  
  
• to that Vice President, Gary Schultz (also now charged with perjury), who neglected to order campus police to investigate;
  
  
• to PSU president, Graham Spanier, who also knew of prior similar allegations against Sandusky, to the point of having previously signed an order barring Sandusky from bringing minor children onto campus, yet likewise failed to demand a thorough investigation ...
  

It is all just so, so fucking sick. Not ONE of those men even bothered to check on the condition of the boy who was raped, or even so much as tried to determine the kid's identity. Sandusky went on to abuse at least seven other boys (that is, that we know of, and there will be likely more coming forward). And meanwhile, the truly lovely hamlet of State College, Pennsylvania has to find a way to pick up the pieces in this Shakespearean tragedy.

:-(

... and many are asking questions.

COWARDS! FUCKING COWARDS!

Sandusky's autobiography in 2001 is called Touched.

I've been asking myself all day why McQueary didn't immediately call 911 to report what was happening right in front of him. Why did he not help the child who was being raped at that moment? I can't think of one justification for his failure to make one simple phone call to authorities.

... and the story goes downhill from there.

patriarchy in action.

until it's stopped.

Guess what, Ridge being Governor of PA at the time was a member of the Board of Trustees when the 1998 complaint/investigation was carried out.

Maybe the reason they covered up for Sandusky is that big time college football is all about winning. All that matters to these guys is what they can get away with. Does this sound far-fetched? Think of this - you have credible evidence that a pedophile is buggering children in a Penn State shower room. Why wouldn't you go to the police?

I'd like to see the details.
