Penn State pedophilia

[cougjunkie]

I wasn't aware of the continued close relationship between Sandusky and the program. If he was always around, and especially scouting, recruiting, etc, then I'll go ahead and more fully condemn Paterno and McQueery like the rest of you. It was these facts I was asking for. But nobody ever responded with them, mostly just attacks and insults.

And the people running the 2nd Mile program seem to be even more worthy of our ire. They were told about the allegations (though we may not know whether the School administrators told them the whole story) and continued to let Sandusky hang around the kids and set him up with them. They were really pimping them out. These people were truly in a position where the care of these children was their main duty. Their actual job.

Even the teary eyed Matt Millen who was on the board of the 2nd mile program and had an active role after he heard about Sandusky the first time.

Now it's our fault you don't know how to do your own research.

I wonder if Sandusky killed this guy. I'm just speculating.

McQueary placed on administrative leave. Penn St BOT source says "it's a complex issue" when asked why he still has his job.

Crazy that Tim Curley, charged with perjury because of his testimony during the Sandusky grand jury, is having his legal fees paid by the university.

Obviously I don't know the law, but from what I see on movies and TV (which I'm sure is reality), prosecutors, judges, and juries seem to bend it to fit their needs.

I'd like to have McQueary, Paterno, and anyone else that was in the know on this forced to divulge their motives for not reporting this to the police. And if the motives are not rational, they should be charged with perjury. They deserve to do time.

They may be thinking about keeping him as friendly a witness as possible. (I'm being cynical, I know, but....)

This is not unusual. Some or most state laws require it, at least until there has been an adjudication of criminal conduct.

IF you are acting within the course or sope of your employment (or even arguably so, as he claims) then your employer is typically required to defend you, as SU said.

I will always click on a Sports by Brooks link, regardless of whether it's applicable to the current discussion or not.

In my jurisdiction, state law requires the government employer to pay the attorneys fees for their employees, for work-related suits.

Also, if its being paid by an insurer (it probably is) why would Penn State care?

GREAT POST.

This has gotten beyond my comprehension. I don't get it. I'm sorry; I can no longer be of much help in explaining any of this.

To defend you, yes, but not to keep you on the job, especially for allegedly wrongful conduct. The defense by the insurer can also be under a reservation of rights, at least here in our fair state. So PSU is not necessarily legally required be be nice to McQueary. They just have to pay his attorney fees. There can be a whole lot going on here, including agreements (spoken or unspoken, written or unwritten) with prosecutors about how a star witness is going to be treated.
