Sandusky and his accusers

[thewiseguy]

Washington Post has a list of accusers and the details of crimes committed. I am posting some of the detail here:

In 1998:

Victim 6, then 11 and now 24, comes home with wet hair. He tells his mother that Sandusky showered with him and hugged him and touched him inappropriately. The mother calls university police.

May 13 and 19, 1998: University police investigate. Police record a phone call between Sandusky and the boy's mother in which Sandusky acknowledged showering with the boy and others.

June 1: In an interview with a detective and an investigator from the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, according to court papers, Sandusky admits hugging the boy in the shower and promises not to shower with children again. The detective says another boy told a similar shower story. He could not be subpoenaed because he is in the military out of the country.

Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar chooses not to prosecute Sandusky and the investigation ends.

In 2002:

Mike McQueary, a 28-year-old graduate assistant at the time, says he saw Sandusky sexually assaulting Victim 2 in the shower around 9:30 p.m. McQueary calls his father, who tells him to alert Paterno. Victim 2 was never identified.

March 2, 2002: McQueary, who is now the Penn State receivers coach, reports the assault to Coach Joe Paterno.

March 3: Paterno tells Athletic Director Tim Curley. About 10 days later, Curley and Gary Schultz, a university vice president, meet with McQueary, who says he told them he saw Sandusky having sex with a boy in the shower. No one calls law enforcement or tries to locate the boy.

Later in March: Curley bars Sandusky from bringing children onto the Penn State campus and reports McQueary’s story to The Second Mile and to university president Graham Spanier. Spanier approves Curley’s handling of the situation.

The Second Mile organization was notified in 2002 but they kept Sandusky around until 2008! The campus police knew of allegations in 1998 and Sandusky had confessed to the police then!

This is beyond outrageous. WTF?

1. Try reading your bolded portion again

MARCH 2: McQueary tells Paterno

MARCH 3: Paterno tells Curley

MARCH 13 or thereabouts: Curley and Schultz meet with McQueary.

Paterno told Curley the next day after hearing it, on a Sunday, no less.

The reason that the Curley-Schultz-McQueary meeting doesn't happen until "about ten days later" is simple: the week of March 4 - March 8, 2002, Penn State was on Spring break, with the University closed and perhaps Schultz not in town. They meet, perhaps, on March 11, 12, or 13, the week that the school opens again after Spring break.

So, to timeline it: Sandusky brings the boy to Lasch on a Friday night before Spring Break. Why? because there's nobody anywhere near campus - the whole place shuts down (not really, but pretty close). McQueary calls and visits Paterno on the Saturday, and Paterno summons Curley to his house on the Sunday.

3. CRAZY!! Ray Gricar :

Ray Frank Gricar (pronounced /ˈɡriːkɑr/; born October 9, 1945, missing April 15, 2005, declared legally dead July 25, 2011) is a missing person from Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, United States. At the time of his disappearance on April 15, 2005, he was the district attorney of Centre County, a post he had held since 1985 and which he had been planning to retire from later that year.
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Gricar received his Juris Doctor degree from Case Western Reserve University School of Law and began his career as a prosecutor for Cuyahoga County. He moved to State College, Pennsylvania around 1980 and after a brief stint as an assistant district attorney, Gricar was elected district attorney of Centre County in 1985. He was re-elected four times before announcing that he would not run for re-election in the 2005 campaign.
Gricar was reported missing to authorities after failing to return home from a road trip. His car was found in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania with his cell phone inside, and his laptop computer was found in the adjacent Susquehanna River; other than that, very little trace of Gricar has been found. After being missing for over six years with no trace of his whereabouts, Centre County authorities declared Gricar legally dead on July 25, 2011.


and weirder: On July 30, 2005, fishermen discovered Gricar's county-issued laptop computer in the Susquehanna River beneath a bridge between Lewisburg and Milton.<11> A Pennsylvania State Police computer expert analyzed the computer and found that its hard drive was missing.<11> Divers searched the area of the river near where the laptop was found over the next several days, but found nothing else.<11> Two months later, a hard drive was recovered on the banks of the Susquehanna River about 100 yards (91 m) from where the laptop was found and is believed to be Gricar's;<12> however, it was badly damaged and analysis by the FBI, U.S. Secret Service, and the firm Kroll Ontrack – which had successfully recovered data from a hard drive recovered from the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster – were all unable to recover any data from the hard drive.<13> In April 2009 Bellefonte police revealed that before his disappearance, Gricar used his home computer to perform internet searches on topics such as "how to wreck a hard drive", "how to fry a hard drive", and "water damage to a notebook computer".<14>
