But wasn't that about what sex acts were told to him? Did he ever back off that the incident was sexual, with a child? He was pretty clear on that when he spoke to Sassano it seems.
Didn't you say that Joe was not involved once he reported? Here is what Freeh said "As detailed in my report, the e-mails and contemporary documents from 2001 show that, despite Mr. Paterno's knowledge and McQueary's observations, four of the most powerful officials at Penn State agreed not to report Sandusky's activity to public officials. As made clear in the attachments to our report, on February 25, 2001, Messrs. Spanier, Curley and Schulz agreed to report Sandusky's abuse to the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare. On February 27, 2001, these men agreed that reporting to DPW was not required, reasoning in the words of Graham Spanier that "[t]he only downside for us is if the message isn't 'heard' and acted upon, and we then become vulnerable for not having reported it." The only known, intervening factor between the decision made on February 25, 2001 and the agreement not to report on February 27, 2001, was Mr. Paterno's February 26th conversation with Mr. Curley regarding what to do about Sandusky. Again, this conversation was memorialized in the contemporary email, where Mr. Curley said "[a]fter giving it more thought and talking it over with Joe yesterday -- I am uncomfortable with what we agreed were the next steps."
Why do you think he even mentioned Joe? Was it name dropping to get the other two to go along with his plan?
Because of his power within the institution and his image of being a great man as well as a coach?
What about the report in 1998 that said Sandusky was a likely pedophile?
Freeh said they showed a stunning lack of remorse for the victims.
Wouldn't the best course then would have been to call the police and have it properly investigated? Wouldn't that be better prevention?
Who created this narrative and what is their motive? Just to ruin PSU?
