I'd like to know: how could Joe Paterno know so little about child rape by a man, and so much about college football?
He had five children, and even the safety of his own children would require knowing how necessary it is to be on guard for the dangers encountered by defenseless children.
I am wondering too, and have not read anything about this. How is it that those children raped were alone with this assistant coach at such young ages? Were the parents failing to protect their own children or were they, too, misled that an athletic program was offered for children by this coach?
