They decided to not pursue criminal charges then, and allowed him to remain on campus and affiliated with the University. You, pesa, say Paterno should have gone to the police? Based on what? He didn't witness the crime. He heard about it from the sole witness. If anyone should have followed up and filed a police report, it should have been Mike McQueary. You really should read the testimony before you talk about things you know little about.

Nobody is stciking up for McQueary or any of the other assholes. There are people more at fault than Paterno for sure but that does not absolve him completely. I never said he should have went to the police so learn to read before you tell people what they know or don't know. I said he should have done whatever neccessarry to get to the bottom of these horrible accusations from the witness. Call the feds if you have to but you do a whole lot more than tell some suit. Many rapes since then.
