Penn State Abuse
I stand for no sexual abuse and rape involving young boys or anybody.
Recently, former assistant football coach of Penn State, Jerry Sandusky, was arrested due to child rape and sexual abuse. He founded a charity called Second Mile, which was believed to be how he got his access to his victims. In 2002, a rape was witnessed by then-graduate assistant coach Mike McQueary. McQueary claims that Jerry Sandusky was raping a young boy in a sports facility shower at Penn State. When head coach Joe Paterno was notified of this, he immediately told the athletic director of the school, Tim Curley. Although Paterno told Curley of the incident, nothing was said to the police or any other authority other than the Senior Vice President of business at Penn State, Gary Schultz.
Although people are charging him with rape and sexual abuse, Sandusky claims himself innocent and denies himself of being a pedophile. Because of lack of evidence, Sandusky will be innocent until further proof of him being guilty.
Gary Schultz and Tim Curley should have informed the police of this incident, and could have prevented further sexual abuse against young men. However, many people do not have the bravery to speak out, which leaves the molester innocent, continuing his/her actions. If Tim Curley and Gary Schultz wanted to take a side with Jerry Sandusky, then they had a reason to not speak out. Although, they had no right to keep this illegal act private. Schultz and Curley face charges now, which may have a negative impact on their lives. If people do not speak out about illegal actions, informing not only authority, but the public, we will show ourselves as a society that allows these actions.
