A timeline of the case is here: [link]
(The district attorney mentioned in the 1998 entry, who decided not to file criminal charges, went missing in 2005 and was declared dead this past summer.)
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

That's sort of creepy.

Art Crawl!!!
Yeah, a bizarre footnote to a very disgusting story.
So - all the adults from the Grad Student on up should have called the cops and didn't?

I also saw the statement that Paterno fulfilled his "legal obligation", which maybe he did. But he didn't fulfill his moral obligation.
One thing that hasn't been clear (to me) is if any of the others are mandatory reporters.
Pattern and The grad student at least came clean to the grand jury. The others did not, which is one of the main reasons for the indictments.

I think that Curley and Schultz, the two administrators who've been charged with failure to report and perjury, were.

Okay, so when isn't it mandatory for someone to report to the fucking police when a child is being raped?
This isn't a rumor, the act was witnessed - on university grounds.

I don't think that there's generally a law saying that you have to report a crime you witnessed. Doctors, teachers, clergy, and other people who officially supervise kids are legally required to report any suspicion of abuse, though. By the way the law is worded, the university administrators are covered under that, but the coaching staff is not.

According to this [link] , there are 16 states where everyone is required to report suspected child abuse. The other states only require certain professionals to report it.

Unbelievable. You'd have to pry my ass away from the cops for me NOT to report that kind of crime.
I mean, really.

I assumed this was said sarcastically.
I love my job but it brings me in contact with a lot of child abuse/rape and it is horrifying to me both how common it is and how little happens to those who do it.
