McQueary: I told Penn State officials about abuse

From the ASSOCIATED PRESS:

Mike McQueary, speaking for the first time in public about the 2002 encounter in a Penn State locker room, said he believes that Sandusky was attacking the child with his hands around the boy’s waist but said he wasn’t 100 percent sure it was intercourse…

Under cross examination by an attorney for Curley, McQueary reiterated that he had not seen Sandusky penetrating or fondling the boy but was nearly certain they were having intercourse because the two were standing so close and Sandusky’s arms were wrapped around the youth….

Nine or 10 days later, McQueary said he met with Curley and Shultz and told them he’d seenSandusky and a boy, both naked, in the shower after hearing skin-on-skin slapping sounds…

EDITOR:   McQueary spares Coach Paterno the details so Paterno does not know the seriousness of what was alleged.  Paterno immediately tells the campus authorities to whom McQuery provides all of the details.   Then what happened?   When did Attorney General Tom Corbett learn and what did he do about it?   Why did Corbett lead the charge to fire Paterno, who had been left largely in the dark about what took place? Do we owe Joe Paterno an apology?

  1. YES. This dog and pony show will continue as cover for Corbett but in a real trial these charges will not hold up.

    McQueary’s testimony was ” he was sure of what he saw” but “he wasn’t sure he was seeing what he was seeing.” Likewise he “definitely reported something sexual and wrong”…but he didn’t think to immediately involve the police.

    Give Corbett and his lapdog AG credit, the delay in the pre-trial was to carefully coach McQueary and evolve the testimony further. Can’t they see by doing this all they have done is jeopardize the real investigation of real crimes against Sandusky?

    Now we have the mob seeing these hollow victories against incompetent PSU admin as “one for those kids.” Is that going to be Corbett’s next campaign slogan, how he won one for the kids?
