Both were kings of their worlds. Both turned a blind eye to sexual abuse of children to protect their records and their brand. As well as make a boatload of money. Let's go through the timeline. According to CNN: 1977 - Jerry Sandusky founds the Second Mile, a charity to help troubled youth. 1998 - He is accused and admits to showering with a boy and says he sorry. The DA does not go forward with the charges and advises the Campus Police to drop the case. Hmm, the police, the DA all investigate. Do we think JoePa (the king of Penn State) knew? Maybe not. 1999 - Sandusky retires from Penn State football, but stays on as a "volunteer" and has full access to the campus and facilities. A year later he retires from his job at one of the most successful college football programs in the country? Why would he do that? Is it really possible JoePa did know. Maybe. 2000 - A Janitor sees Sandusky performing oral sex on a boy in the shower and reports it to his supervisor. Who does not report it to the police. And this point I'm guessing it has been reported to JoePa, just to protect his program and brand. I think we are seeing a trend here. It looks pretty familiar to me. 2002 - McQueary sees the now famous shower rape scene and tells his father, who is not a police officer. Because if he were it would have made sense. They tell JoePa the next day. Second Mile is told. And...nothing. 2004 - 2008 He abuses another boy while volunteering to help a wrestling coach. Wrestling. How convenient. He can quickly claim that his sexual contact is wrestling or horseplay. And on. And on. To digress for a moment, when Sandusky's narcissistic sociopathic side decided to phone in his interview with Bob Costas, he claimed it was horseplay. "I could say that I have done some of those things. I have horsed around with kids. I have showered after workouts. I have hugged them, and I have touched their legs without intent of sexual contact," said Sandusky. He went on to describe turning on all the showers and sliding across the floor as part of the horsing around. And that may be odd, but not sexual abuse of a child. He is right. It is called grooming. He is preparing the child for sexual contact by making it fun and safe to play around with a grown and naked man. It would probably happen a few times without any intimate contact at all. Then slide on the floor through my legs. Accidentally touch. And you can imagine the rest. And I hope you do. You need to think about how awful this is. In 1970 a young Tom Teczar was in seminary studying to be a priest. He was kicked out twice and Bishop Flanagan from the Diocese of Worcester Massachusetts, wrote in response to an inquiry from Catholic University's dean, of Teczar's "predilection for intimate and rather exclusive companionship with young boys." He noted that because in the mid-60's Teczar was fired from the Nazareth Home for Boys (a home for trouble youth - sound familiar?) for "inappropriately touching" a 10 year old boy. So they ordain him and send him to Saint Mary's in Uxbridge Massachusetts where he has been known to have "allegedly" abused at least five boys. I was "allegedly" one. Caught, is bounced around from parish to parish until in 1988 he was moved all the way to Fort Worth Texas. Where Bishop Delaney took him, even though he was well aware of Teczar's history. Finally in 2002 he is arrested in Texas where he is now serving a 25 year sentence. Can you imagine if someone had called the police in the mid-60's with that 10 year old boy? Can you imagine if the DA had prosecuted Sandusky in 1998? JoePa and JoePope couldn't. But I wish they had.
