He met with and reported the incident to Paterno the next morning, Saturday.

We are saying the same thing. He saw the child being raped. He did not intervene. He called his father for advise. And waited till then next day to report it to anyone - that being Paterno.

If the university president and others did something worse, well, we do not yet have the entire story. McQuaery's (spelling is probably wrong) actions should have gotten him fired if others were only fired for not acting more responsibly. For him to not be fired and for other to be fired implies far more serious charges that we don't know about.

As I understand it, the Grand Jury investigation and a following mysterious disappearance of the DA was about another child rape. But that was not entirely clear.

BTW, if this is all it takes to fire so many top executives, then why is the Pope not resigning for all but condoning far more pedophile attacks. Double standard, The Pope has a friend in high places. How curious. Many of the Pope's friends also wear red.
