In his statement Paterno claimed he was “shocked.”

Really?

The guy he worked with for 30 years had been accused multiple times of sexually abusing boys including when a grad assistant coach told Paterno himself that he saw the piece of garbage diddling a little boy in the Penn State showers.  All that and Paterno claims he is shocked by this?

Yeah, friggin right. 

That old darn can save his fake outrage.  No sane non-Penn State homer with an IQ over 75 is buying it.

Disgusting. Nothing else needs to be said. No forgiving JoePa neither. He knew about it and didnt inform the police and have this man arrested immediately, instead he allowed to associate himself with this man and even as recently as 2007 let this man bring a child to Penn St. practices.

Its truly sad that everything that Paterno has worked for is down the drain. He will forever be tainted. His legacy is officially tainted. He will be now known for this. 

Tressel went down for tatoos and cars. This man needs to step down, athletic director needs to step down, business director needs to step down, penn state president needs to step down.

Sad that this taints not only Paterno's legacy but also Penn St. as a school 

Everything Paterno has worked for is now down the drain? Your an idiot. Being argaubly the most successful foobtall coach ever does not get wiped away because one of your employees was friggin little boys in the behind. Sure, he probably should have gone directly to the police. But even so, he informed his superiors and at least was pro-active.

Paterno's legacy should not be tarnished because of this. One sicko's mistakes will not destroy everything Joe Paterno has done for college football.

I guess..what I am trying to say is...

Shut the darn up

After the GA told Paterno about the incident with the 10 yr.old and he (the GA) or Paterno didn't immediatly seek out answers from Sandusky Paterno deserves blame.

Clearly the doubt is already laid out with Paterno now. At this point JoePa will forever be viewed as a complicit in child sex abuse and the 409 or whatever the hell the number of wins he has is absolutley irrelevant. His tombstone will read "Here lies JoePaMan who put winning ahead of 10 yr old getting banged out by Defensive Coordinator". Sad but true.

Jersey 973-

You are the one who needs to take the blinders off- What he did on the football field is irrelevant now- He friggin KNEW he had a child molester working for him and did nothing about it- yes NOTHING-  He passed the information to his AD. What a joke- Child molestation is the sickest most disgusting crime that i can think of- He should have immediately gone to the police. End of story. Then he continues letting this scumbag use the facilities for the last 9 years. Joe Pa is scum for not going to the police. I don't care how much class he had on the field. This is unbelievable- i always admired him now his name makes me want to puke. He can't act like he didn't know- There was a cover up and he was part of it- UNBELIEVABLE-

Longhorn007-

You are classless- it's not about being a hater- A 10yr. old child was molested and Joe Pa found out and did nothing! Reporting it to his AD the next do is doing next to nothing- Letting this guy hang around for the next 9 years is unforgivable- He had two choices in that situation- Confront the guy and beat his behind(not the mature decision but he had to have been outraged) or report this to the police.

joe paterno did do  the  correct  thing and report it  to University authorities. They  are  the  ones  who had the  obligation to investigate and act appropriately.  

if  anything  , the  grad  assistant had the  true legal  responsibility to  report the  crime.  It  appears  that  he was upset and  perhaps  thought  he  was doing the  right  thing.   It  wasnt  Joe Pa'a  role  to  call the police.  if  the  grad  assist  saw the  crime, he  had the  legal obligation to report.    Once the  University was notifoed of a probable  crime,  the  University  had a  moral, and in my opinion a legal obligation to investigate and report heinous criminal activity.
