Penn St's AD Tim Curley charge with perjury: sex abuse

[mocat]

The problem with cases like this are the same problems as when famous people die.  Yeah, it's unfortunate and nobody is pleased by it, but a large percent of people get this really weird moral highground thing where they think that they are somehow involved in the case.  Like the headline from earlier in this thread.  Everybody knows exactly what it meant, but some people are in such a witchhunt mood that they twist it to make the newspaper look like they are child rape advocates.  Get a grip, people.

pretty sure you're the only one that has done this

i'm friends with a woman that dated that guy, not involved in the case in any way.  Between you and me, you're the only one who has bitched about anything in this thread, my friend.

Someone get word to the media to have them redirect their questions to @oklahomacat.

you know i can't keep up with that much twitter traffic.  i can barely RT something funny that Gooch said like 3 days later.

When will University Presidents realize that trying to cover this crap up is just the absolute worst course of action.

never.  it's human nature.  plus, a risk/reward analysis may actually support their rationale for cover-ups - whatever it may be.  sometimes, they get away with it.

Rumblings about a 9th victim coming forward now.

Remember when Prince wanted to be know as the Joe Pa of the plains. 

[kstater]

At least all it took was a 9th person claiming sexual abuse from a coach that remained around the program for 15 years after the first allegation to get JoPa out of there.

Pa has better info than you.  I doubt the diff from 8 to 9 inspired his move.  Most likely what he knows that you and I don't yet know.

Paterno is Catholic.  He probably didn't see anything wrong with what Sandusky was up to.

This is all one big witch hunt by the media.  By "witch" they mean "guy-who-knew-about-dude-who-rapes-kids-and-did-jack-squat-to-prevent-future-kid-rapings-but-clearly-could-have-prevented-future-kid-rapings"

It's the age old case of a "guy-who-knew-about-dude-who-rapes-kids-and-did-jack-squat-to-prevent-future-kid-rapings-but-clearly-could-have-prevented-future-kid-rapings" hunt.

Just skimmed through the grand jury doc.  After a lot of this crap happened they mentioned that because he was a retired coach there was no way to ban him from the facilities.  Blows my mind that they didn't take the stance of take your crap and GTFO.  If you show up again you will be arrested.  Sounds like a lot of enabling going on by everyone on staff at PSU that had knowledge of the situation(s).

Pretty sure that random dudes off the street can't go use the rough ridin' weight room, or have access to rape boys in the team showers.  I am not an expert, but this is my hunch.

Random dudes weren't Assitant HC and state-institution-enabled rapists.  

Retirement agreements are retirement agreements.  I mean, we do live in a civilized society.

Agree that the analogy was flawed...he's clearly the Diocese leader who is mum about kid rapings, and not the raping priest.  But, I think you knew that though, right?

I would have declared the retirement agreement null and void, citing the case of Roe v. Dude Who Rapes Kids.  Boom.  Case closed.

IMHO, a "Good Fellas" type beating in a corn field would be about right for this bad person.  Don't send him to prison, he would probably enjoy the treatment he would receive.  Sick rough rider.

So why should Paterno be fired?  Do we agree with this?
