I've seen reports that he was very specific to Paterno about what happened. Not "possible sex abuse" but "a boy being raped."
Do you remember where? I'm asking because all I've read has said that the GA was vague in his conversation with Paterno.

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.

McQueary says he reported to Paterno what he saw. Paterno says McQueary just told him that "something" was going on, but no details.
I had read that what Paterno said to the grand jury is that McQuery reported that "something sexual" had happened. If so, that's the floor of what Paterno knew, which is damning enough; but it's hard to really confirm these details via google. Anyone know?
ETA: the lawyers, guns and moeny blog quotes: “fondling or doing something of a sexual nature” from the testimony by Paterno, but no cite to the testimony itself.

That was S. had read, too, but I don't know where.
Here's all the local newspaper's coverage: [link]
I read somewhere that GA went to his dad and they together went to to Paterno. Not sure where either. In any case, uhg. Should have gone to police. And if they were afraid to, Paterno should have. and right up the food chain, they should have. Cowardice and CYA. No tolerance in my worldview for that. But what can I say, I'm a 911-trigger-happy gal. And somehow..

He called his dad for advice on what to do, and his dad said to talk to Paterno, but the father didn't go with him to that meeting.
Also, reports from downtown say that police are using tear gas. This will not end well.

Paterno has said he was vague. McQueary says he was specific. I'm not sure where I saw it. Just going through Google News.

God, FUCK the students, too, and their ridiculous tiny worldviews. This is not about goddamn FOOTBALL. This is about human beings who were sexually abused but got ignored for years.
I suspect Paterno's statement is quoted in the grand jury presentment, but it has taken 15 minutes or so to download the pdf halfway. But when it does, I will let you know!
It's on page seven, but it's not directly quoted. Since it contradicts the McQueary testimony, I assume it comes from Paterno himself. So, he was told that McQueary witnessed something of a sexual nature with a ten -year-old, which seems to indicate that Paterno, by his own admission, failed at life.
