You Turned Your Head?

I have one comment on the Penn State fiasco, and then I'll (probably) drop it:

I like to think that, if I walked into a gym shower and saw an older guy sodomizing a ten-year-old, I'd step in and stop it, but apparently the grad assistant just looked the other way and then went to Paterno the next day. WTH? He didn't want to interrupt Sandusky, like the janitor who walked in on Leslie Nielsen in Naked Gun? What kind of culture exists in these Division 1 schools? Is sodomy so common at PSU that the guy saw this, but didn't see anything terribly unusual or thought maybe it was a gray area of activity?

I'm also guessing that the grad assistant is a former football player and more than physically capable of rescuing a boy from the clutches of a senior citizen.

At this point, the grad student's credibility should be under assault, at least as much as that ten-year-old allegedly was.

But I hasten to add: Like everyone else, I've only read newspaper stories. I don't know anything and the story is far too young to form lock-solid judgments about anything.
