Penn State scandal (merged)

The report I read said that she taped the conversation to get evidence, and then the police told her that they wouldn't press charges. She's had her kid in therapy trying to help him get through all this. It's pretty hard to go solo on something like this, when the police won't back you up, and you're probably told that you'll be sued, and all the power of the university is brought in on it. And her son would have to deal with all the publicity and the crap at school (imagine how sensitively many teenagers would handle this.)

Survivors of sexual violence know that a lot of times, the law is NOT on your side, and when this happens, the next step is to survive mentally and psychologically.

Also, SIAP recently, but one of the articles linked way back in the thread to the disappearance of the DA who refused to press charges mentioned that the Internet search history from his laptop for several days before his disappearance features searches for how to destroy a hard drive, including via water immersion. What was on the hard drive that he was so concerned about being read?

Anyway, I'd say that the mother concentrated on helping her son get through all this, once she realized that she'd been abandoned by the local legal system and by the university. Just a different slant, maybe.

Ah geez. How can I go to sleep when stuff like this is going on? Now I know the feeling of every other fan base watching us slowly self-destruct when Kiffin left.

It's their senior day. They shouldn't ruin their day for a coach who screwed over the entire state.

In other news, some 50 plus phone calls were recorded between Penn State trustees and Phil Fulmer in the weeks leading up to the firing.

Transcript of his impromptu presser outside his house:

Paterno's statement, which was broadcast on ESPN, is as follows:

"I am disappointed with the Board of Trustees' decision, but I have to accept it. A tragedy occurred, and we all have to have patience to let the legal process proceed. I appreciate the outpouring of support but want to emphasize that everyone should remain clam and please respect the university, its property and all that we value. I have been incredibly blessed to spend my entire career working with people I love. I am grateful beyond words to all of the coaches, players and staff who have been a part of this program. And to all of our fans and supporters, my family and I will be forever in your debt."

He also added the following when speaking to the students outside his home.

"I want to say to all these great students who I love, you guys are great all of you. When I say guys you know I mean, I mean girls, too. Look, get a good night's sleep. Study. Alright, we've still got things to do. I'm out of it maybe. The phone call put me out of it. We'll go from there, ok? Good luck everybody. Thanks for coming."
