I do not believe this whole situation was known by only two people- the abuser and the victim.
Yes - it was reported to him by McQuery, and JoePa in turn reported it to the head of the athletic department, and it seems the buck stopped there, as the higher-ups within the university that have now also been fired, hushed it up. JoePa should have taken it upon himself to file a police report tho, so he was remiss there. I just think it was a damn shame that the whole dirty mess focused on him in the beginning - like he was the offender - and not Sandusky. And Sandusky's wife???? - she's almost as guilty as he is IMO. If she hadn't been so worried about losing her comfortable lifestyle and reputation, she would have turned that sorry sucker in years ago, and saved a lot of heartache that destroyed a lot of people. Again - JMHO!
