What?! So if you witness (or someone below you witnessed and reported it to you) child rape, you'd tell your boss instead of the police, because it's "below your pay grade"?! Moron.

Plus he didn't witness the crime first hand, all he had to go on was third-party testimony. What's so unreasonable about looking into the credibility of the accuser before calling the police?

Well, while you're vacillating, another child might get raped. That's what's unreasonable about it. Especially since he worked with the accuser and would have known him personally.
Besides, he wasn't "looking into the credibility of the accuser". He was doing jack ****.

This matter was a school administration issue, not an athletic department issue.

This was most certainly neither. This was a police issue. P-O-L-I-C-E I-S-S-U-E. What don't you understand about the fact that the school had no business dealing with child rape on their own?

It's simply not their job to determine guilt or to go over anyone's head to launch a criminal investigation. He did what he was supposed to do.

When you suspect children are being raped, you report it to the police. The possibility of children getting raped is the first priority, with embarrassment to the school and suspect being a far distant second priority.

The sin is on Penn State upper-management, not on their football coach.

The sin is on EVERYONE who didn't go to the police. The school and Paterno. Seriously, I don't understand this football worship that causes people to be ****ing retards when it comes to football stars breaking the law.
