After what happened to the supposed "victim 2", a boy estimated at 10 years of age in the same room with shower Penn State football players, it is almost impossible to keep reading the report of the grand jury. "Victims 8," numbness turns to anger.
They want to scream in the traumatized graduate assistant coach in 2002 and in 2000 keeper saw and do not leave, according to a report released by the office of Pennsylvania Attorney General is. Want to grab and shake that the only crime reported to their superiors, they washed their hands of responsibility and then let it go, the treatment of a child's life like a soccer ball slipped through his hands.
Above all, you want to have an audience with one of the most beloved icons of the sport, Joe Paterno , Happy Valley home is holy, and ask for Joe Pa, repeatedly, "while delighting everyone with sappy stories about meeting his wife for 50 years on the local ice cream frozen in State College, Pa., did you have any idea what his defensive coordinator of all the life that was in the company of young people? "
If the office of Pennsylvania Attorney General is to take her word - if the data is sad, disgusting of alleged sexual abuse of youth by Jerry Sandusky are true - a pristine program once considered beyond reproach is near beyond the redemption.
Paterno was not charged, but if Sandusky is guilty would be guilty - as athletic director of the state of Pennsylvania and a university vice president, who were charged with perjury and failing to report suspected child abuse on Saturday, would be guilty.
They would all be part of a crime worse than any twisted reinforcement pay for play to Miami, Ohio, or even committed SMU: guilty of protecting a program before a child.
You can not read the report of 23 pages of grand jury and to conclude otherwise, Penn State football and unblemished reputation, apparently overcome the alleged sexual assault of a child - perhaps as many as eight young men - over 15 years Sandusky.
Joe Pa knew, if the charges are true.
Everyone knew.
And he never told police.
Penn State President and other officials of the university is standing behind Tim Curley, the athletic director, and Gary Schultz, senior vice president of finance and business. They maintained they handle complaints properly Sandusky, 2002 - in light of what they knew about the situation at that time.
"I'd say Gary Schultz and Tim Curley have my full support," said Penn State President Graham Spanier said in a statement that an athletic department official said it would be the school's only comment on the matter. "I have known and worked daily with Tim and Gary for over 16 years. I have complete confidence in the way they have handled allegations about a former employee of the University."
In the statement issued by the Pennsylvania State University, Curley's attorneys and Schultz said his clients are not guilty. Sandusky lawyer told a television channel Johnstown, Pennsylvania, Sandusky "has maintained his innocence," after having been aware of the allegations for over three years.
