It is not as bad as some states, but I really don't expect him to be locked up for 100 years.[/QUOTE

He didn't get fired because of McQueary, he got fired because of Sandusky. If Sandusky hadn't been sexually abusing young boys, Joe Paterno would still be employed. It's SANDUSKY's FAULT.
HLN reported this morning there is no parole for sex offenders in Pa. unless they admit and go thru the treatment program????
If Paterno had gone to the local or state police and reported Sandusky's abuse of children, Paterno would never have been fired. Paterno had a choice to make once he learned what McQ witnessed. He took the path that would most protect PSU.
That I hadn't heard.
As for the others, as I pointed out, the one priest convicted in Phila Church Sex Abuse Scandal got 2.5-5 and I'm told he'll be out in 2.

Exactly. JoePa got fired because of JoePa.
Sadly, he'll probably enjoy that, but at least he doesn't have a young boy he can force to do it!!!I wish I could think of a more polite way to say what's going through my mind, but I can't, so here it is:
Hopefully by now, Sandusky has had all of his street clothes and personal belongings stripped away. I hope he's in prison garb, stuck away in a cell after having experienced a very thorough body cavity search, the first of many to come.
The priest did not get convicted of actual sexual abuse of a child. I do not remember what the actual charge was, but it was that he aided and abetted the abuser by moving parish priests to a new parish when he knew that THEY were abusing children, instead of stopping the abuse.
It gives me a small measure of justice- I was never able to bring my molester to court- he was a "beloved" family member, and children weren't believed back in those days. Took me years to tell anyone. At least he died in a nursing home full of old women, and I've since stomped on his grave!!!Thanks, 4Justice, for sharing your private and real nightmare. So many, many people share your childhood horror.
And, as was said earlier, it seems especially so for boys and boys-grown-to-men who, because of their being male, made it even more difficult to tell someone. It is so much more than guys just "horsing around." And for girls, it's so much more than "being tickled just to make her giggle."
How much do you think this verdict is actually taking some of the private burden off the victims of JS? Has it helped you just a little bit? Hope so.
Bless you, and I wish you peace somehow, someday.
I agree, although I wish McQuery had done more to break it up and protect the boy, I can't fault him for not knowing how to react. Maybe it was cowardice, but the majority of the blame lies on Sandusky and his enablers at Penn State and his wife!!!He was in his 20's and not a coach at the time.
I know how much this case has affected me, and didn't walking in someone that was an icon engaged in anal sex with a naked boy in the shower. I think he was in shock, and I can't say I wouldn't have been in similar circumstances.
It wasn't California that paroled Garrido, it was the Feds in Nevada, and it won't happen this time to Garrido!!!I'm hoping the fact that this is Pennsylvania, not California will help keep him inside.
Prison overcrowding is pretty much everywhere, but I don't think it's at a crisis point in PA.
