[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 316522, member: 2426"] It is hard to feel any sympathy for him. The Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner at the time made a statement that he did the minimum that the law required, but that in such a case there is a "moral responsibility" to ensure that the police are notified. Up until this was public, the Paterno supporters were of the opinion that he pretty much ran the entire athletic department and had great influence over the school administration. His supporters railed against anyone who questioned his ability to coach the team at his age and said that he was still very much in control of his mental facilities and was a very strong leader. Then after this became public, he was described as a sick, frail old man who didn't know what he was doing. It was said about him that even in 1998, he could not understand what it meant when someone said that a middle age man was taking sexual advantage of young boys. He was either extremely influential at high levels of the University, or he was a pawn in the system. It can't be both ways. He was either a strong effective leader, or he was a stupid man who couldn't understand that a middle aged man molesting a young kid was wrong. I the late 90s, he was either a strong effective leader, or someone who cowered behind others and allowed them take the blame for his failure of "moral responsibility". I could be wrong, but it is my impression of CPJ that if he walked in on something like this that he would beat the hell out of the guy. It is my impression of him that if he became aware of such a situation with someone on staff that he would make sure that it was reported to authorities and prosecuted. IF CPJ found out, reported it to Stansbury and then covered his eyes and ears, I would lose all of the respect that I have for him. [/QUOTE]
