He knew that his assistant coach was butt naked in the shower with a 10 year old boy, and that the 10 year old boy wasn't happy about it. At the minimum he heard that.
UMCJ dislikes even the slightest vengeful attitudes. You are allowed 2 Alcohol Incidents over the course of a career: Bar Fights, parties disruption by lure noises, Underage Drinking ect... Even if your not drinking and there is a fight or serious fight. You can be reprimand with an A.I. by superiors. Heck! I think. If your an Officer and get a DUI you are discharged in a shorten amount of time. Now obviously Chain of Command can over-ride these procedures but for the average Joe; its not always that easy. Plus! Sometimes advancement stagnate during even probation (5 years or +/- 5 years). So that can also play heavily, and seems to go against all the Motion Pictures which we grown to watch about Military. And might even lower the drinking age in doing so, nothing is sacraid anymore....
Victims parents speak out.... http://www.thepostgame.com/features/201111/mothers-alleged-sandusky-victims-speak-out
Ah, a 9th comes forward. That place was incredible. Sandusky was doing kids in the shower like Hef does bunnies at the Mansion. Let's face it, every PSU football staffer knew there was something up. As Bill James once wrote about Chuck Tanner saying that he didn't know that half his Pirates were snorting snow candy in the lockerroom, "It's not physically possible for a man to put his head that far up his ass." This isn't one of these stories that will seem not so bad when the full tale is told. It will be worse.
The stigma of coming forward is no little thing. Makes you wonder how many kids are just suffering in silence. 10 years is a long time.
Sorry to sadden your inner troll, but I am not in that branch of service. What has this whole situation exposed about the mentality of fans/boosters or power players in NCAA colleges and universities who live and die to defend their program even while being myopic about it?
Exactly. They had better get ugly, especially since Penn State's nowhere near as good as its record. If there are no Wenger style chants in Columbus I'll be disappointed. Only one, Joe Paterno, only one Joe Paterno............
This. 1000x this. And he didn't call the police immediately? How is that justifiable under any circumstances? When I first heard about this I thought maybe we were talking about underage college kids or teenagers. But multiple people knew he was molesting little kids and did nothing? Jesus ********ing Christ, I'm speechless.
First rule of crisis management, something like that happens, you tell and you do ASAP. Tough thing to do, especially if you work with someone for so long.
the more I hear about this, and the more I think about it, if that perv was in the middle of a sex act with a child, and you witness it, how do you not stop it right then and there?? I mean shock, sure, but after you overcome that, how do you not start screaming obscenities at the guy to leave the child alone??? and if you run away in shock and you tell someone, after you calm down a little, you don't go back to check on the child to make sure he was okay??? how can this be? an old man molesting a child in a public place and you walk in on it, and you don't react to stop it?? you don't tell the cops? you pretend you didn't see anything?? the perv is one thing - he's go his coming to him. but I'm almost as much if not more outraged by the gutless cowards that allowed him to get away with it for 10 years!!!
yes, 1000X this - the more I learn about it and the more I think about it, the more horrified I am by the fact that nobody did more to stop this.
We don't now that yet. We have all the history of house boys in Hot Bath Houses and Steam Rooms. Every country for thousands of years which assailants nor victims portray heritage. It could have been a simple back wash. Heck! News already said "wrestling around on the ground when spotted jumped up" with that exclamation. Heard Lude Sex Acts and even that Prostitution ring and its lay-low capabilities for decades. Heck! Half that ring probably came down here to Kentucky for some easy prayers! Moved on to Utah and bought some land in Tornado Alley!
I'm listening to Jim Rome right now, and he's just ripping into the GA. the guy was 28!! an adult!! and he ran out of the building while a 10 year old boy was being molested??? what a coward!!!
Still, the kids on the current team had nothing to do with this and I'm sure they're going thru Hell as we speak. I wouldn't want the student section at Ann Arbor yelling nasty shit at them. It serves no purpose and actually belittles the school in question. This is a sad story and getting ugly on the PSU football team makes it only worse.
*shrug* That's how it always works. And if I was in school today at a Penn State away game, I'd probably chant too. Fans are fans. Especially drunk college fans.
It's not the visiting fans razzing Penn State that worries me. It's the loyalist Penn State fans cheering for the pedophile-tolerant coaching staff that could be ugly.
