Paterno knows it happened. His exact wording is that person reporting the situation was "distraught". That doesn't happen for false allegation. Paterno is aware that someone witnessed a vile act in a show in 2002 and while he did pass it along to his AD, he also knew that nothing was done with the matter. If nothing happens for a couple of months, that's one thing. If nothing happens for a year, that's another. Joe Paterno had the power to bring this into the light. He chose not to do that and that means he *at least* tacitly agreed to the cover-up.
Penn State created a firewall around him in order to provide him with plausible deniability if the story ever broke. Now that it has, his own description of the events is what troubles me the most. You don't know a kid was raped in your athletic department shower and sit on that news. Period.
