'Underneath'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Aims,
I think so. He is already testified to the grand jury and is an assistant coach now. I don't think he is spared, though one blog I read seems to insinuate the GA may have been molested by Sandusky years ago since he lived in the area and was in youth football himself.
I don't know how much of that to believe at this juncture.

I wonder, has the GA who actually did the witnessing been brought or will be brought up on any charges?
He hasn't been. So far, the only charges besides Sandusky are against the two administrators, both charged with perjury and failure to report. The graduate assistant, Mike McQueary, was truthful in his testimony (as far as anybody knows), and didn't have a legal duty to report. He might be charged with something later, but I'm not sure what.
In odder news, locally we have a sports reporter named Gerry Sandusky, no relation. He's having a bit of a hard time...

But was he truthful in what he reported to Paterno or did he lighten the load, so to speak, about what he saw?

McQueary says he reported to Paterno what he saw. Paterno says McQueary just told him that "something" was going on, but no details.
There's been a lot of talk about how fans should behave at the game on Saturday -- cheering seems wrong, but most of the not-cheering suggestions have either been things that just wouldn't work with a crowd that size. People seem to be agreeing on a blue-out -- like the white-out they usually have for big home games, but instead of everybody wearing white, everybody wears blue, which is the color for child abuse awareness. (Or something -- no one seems to agree on that part.) One of the stores downtown is selling special blue shirts, with all the proceeds going to an organization that helps victims of sexual abuse. It's not a perfect solution, but at least it's having some kind of acknowledgement of the situation. (The shirts say "Stop Abuse" and "Beat Nebraska." I'm not so thrilled with that.)
But was he truthful in what he reported to Paterno or did he lighten the load, so to speak, about what he saw?
I've seen reports that he was very specific to Paterno about what happened. Not "possible sex abuse" but "a boy being raped."

Upside-down flying rhinos, even.
A shot of Fernet later. Still pissed and mama-bear mad and frustrated, but not crying anymore. Though I did turn my son into a bar tender cause I couldn't reach the bottle. Bad-mom.
