Unsealed records show that St. Joe was no different than any other person who cares more about his brand than the abuse of children. Swine.

"A man testified in court in 2014 that Penn State football coach Joe Paterno ignored his complaints of a sexual assault committed by assistant coach Jerry Sandusky in 1976 when the man was a 14-year-old boy, according to new court documents unsealed Tuesday in a Philadelphia court.

The victim, who was identified in court records as John Doe 150, said that while he was attending a football camp at Penn State, Sandusky touched him as he showered. Sandusky’s finger penetrated the boy’s rectum, Doe testified in court in 2014, and the victim asked to speak with Paterno about it. Doe testified that he specifically told Paterno that Sandusky had sexually assaulted him, and Paterno ignored it.

“Is it accurate that Coach Paterno quickly said to you, ‘I don’t want to hear about any of that kind of stuff, I have a football season to worry about?'” the man’s lawyer asked him in 2014.

“Specifically. Yes … I was shocked, disappointed, offended. I was insulted… I said, is that all you’re going to do? You’re not going to do anything else?”

Paterno, the man testified, just walked away."

The popular Joe Paterno cartoon I regret drawing

01-Tornoe-Paterno-Heaven.jpg

​

...when Joe Paterno died, I tapped into the massive amount of sympathy and heartache throughout the region and drew the nice cartoon [below] of Paterno sharing space in heaven with legendary Alabama head football coach Paul “Bear” Bryant. The cartoon was enormously popular, and spread across Facebook like a wildfire. My inbox was stuffed with thank you notes and warm wishes from Penn State alums across the country. Someone even printed it out and put it on display next to Paterno’s statue as a tribute.

And you know something – I was wrong.

Now, as the Inquirer’s Jeremy Roebuck and Susan Snyder report, newly unsealed documents reveal excerpts of a deposition from accusers who claim they reported abuse to Paterno or members of his staff in the 1970s and 1980s. One man claims to have told Paterno himself after Sandusky abused him in the Penn State locker room in 1976.

Covered up child rape. For more than three decades. So it wouldn’t harm the football team. I’m not a religious person, but this man doesn’t belong in heaven.

The current UCLA defensive coordinator was at Penn St when this happened. Just another reason UCLA should be shut down.
 
This was really sickening to read. I just don't see how people with any conscience could ignore what was right in front of them.

To think of the pain he could have prevented.

There are Pedo State fans that still want Joe Pa's statue back up. To release my inner Watermark they should be shot.

He had a moral responsibility and he ignored it. He was a Catholic and according to reports a regular church-goer. I guess the teachings didn't "take" with him.
