Really? Do you have kids? If they were being raped would you want someone to do something about it? I make a lot of douchebag comments, not this 1 though. The truth will come out. Its already out to some extent. Things were reported to Joe Pa and he did nothing but go to his boss. He should have went to the police first...THE POLICE. These are serious crimes.

Your right there are a lot of criminals here including Joe Paterno. He turned his back on those kids. It was reported to him and he went to his boss? Screw that. He needed to go to the police first, then his boss. But he forgot to go to the cops and put Penn St over little kids lifes.

We still have no idea what detail he knows. Do you really think coach is a molester.

Did I say Joe Pa is a molester? I think he had specific details, rapes reported to him and did nothing more but go to his boss. He never went to the police. Then his boss never did a thing and Joe Pa was Ok with that for years now. Not reporting a rape is a criminal act, right? If your son was raped, and your best friend watched it and he did not report it, how would you feel about your best friend?

The thing is, he might not have committed the crimes, so technically he isn't a criminal. But, he knew what happened, never contacted the police and seemingly never followed up on the initial complaint. His lack of action enabled more kids to get tortured.

No excuse for something like that.

Agree with you- however I don't know the legalities of rape per se, but if you are a witness to a murder, and you don't report it, it is a crime in some states (Ohio for one). Same for rape possibly? (Talking just criminality, not morality)

pretty much every state has laws making anyone whose profession brings them into regular contact with a vulnerable population (young children, elderly, disabled) mandated reporters of suspected abuse.

it's not a crime to observe abuse and not report it unless you fall into that category.

like you said. talking criminality, not morality.

He is 100% correct. Not reporting = enabling = criminal act. No matter what a legend JoePa was before this.

Paterno should be in jail. The eyewitness should be raped and have people watch and not stop it. Sandusky should be in hell. The end.
