Text of Mike McQueary's email


The following is an email from Penn State wide receivers coach Mike McQueary. It was made available by a friend, who did not want to be identified.
... you are the first person I have told this ... and I don't know you extremely well ... and I have been told bye officials to not say anything ...
I did stop it, not physically ... but made sure it was stopped when I left that locker room ... I did have discussions with police and with the official at the university in charge of police .... no one can imagine my thoughts or wants to be in my shoes for those 30-45 seconds ... trust me.
Do with this what you want ... but I am getting hammered for handling this the right way ... or what I thought at the time was right ... I had to make tough impacting quick decisions.
This is off record ... again ... I have not and will not say anything to anyone else.

Victim Says Penn State Officials 'Rejected' His Claims That a University Professor Allegedly Molested Him
A new victim is claiming another member of the Penn State faculty sexually abused him years ago, and he said when he brought his abuse complaints to university officials, he was turned away.
Paul McLaughlin, who is now in his mid-40s, told ABC News that now-retired Penn State professor John "Jack" Neisworth, who is a nationally acclaimed voice on child development, sexually abused him in the late 1970s to early '80s when he was between the ages of 11 and 15.



McLaughlin said, after repressing the memories of his alleged abuse, that he decided to confront Neisworth over the phone in 2001 as part of his therapy. He tape-recorded the conversation, in which he claims that the professor admitted to performing oral sex on him.



"I was in the process of trying to get him to open up about some of the sexual acts and what not, and he actually interrupted me and says, 'Do you remember driving up on the hill?'" McLaughin said. "I said, 'Wasn't that the first time you went down on me?' He said, 'I don't know if it was the first time but it was certainly fierce,' was his words."
.......
"They didn't want copies of the tape recorded conversation. They didn't want to hear it, period," he said
......
"I didn't ask them for money. I didn't ask them for anything other than make sure they look into this. Listen to the tape and get this guy away from children."

McLaughlin said he also spoke with former Penn State president Graham Spanier on the phone.......he was met with the same "hostility" that he had received from other university officials.

"[Spanier] told me that as far as he was concerned it was hearsay, '[Neisworth] has an impeccable record. He has never been accused of anything,'" McLaughlin said. "They were more interested in protecting the school. They didn't seem to have any interest in protecting children at all."



Neisworth was later charged with multiple counts of child sexual abuse in Cecil County, Md., in 2005. However, McLaughlin claimed that at the time, Penn State officials said an indictment wasn't enough to investigate one of their faculty members.



"They again continued to support him and say was basically and outstanding professor and that there was not, unless there was a conviction, there was no need to do an investigation of him," McLaughlin said.

If this is true, this cover-up to protect the "good" name of State Penn runs way too deep.

I know I quoted the majority of that article, but damn! What the fuck is going on over there?!?

A little more info on Paul McLaughlin's story from America's Most Wanted.

LINK

Paul McLaughlin was 33 years old, with a wife and children, when he had a flood of memories that brought him back to his youth. Cops say from about age 11 to 15, Paul had been sexually abused by Goeke and his two associates, Donald Acheson Smith and John Neisworth. According to police, the acts against him were so horrific and monstrous that he blocked out the painful memories.

As the abuse continued, police say Goeke introduced Paul to Smith and Neisworth. Neisworth was a professor at Penn State University. According to police, the three men would take Paul on trips to various places in Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland. During these trips, cops say Paul was subjected to many heinous sex acts. According to officials, the abuse only ended when Paul turned 15 and the family moved.

But what Goeke did not know was that Paul was secretly taping the conversation as evidence to tell his story. Along with recording Goeke, Paul also recorded Neisworth, who cops say also admitted to molesting the boys.

Neisworth and Smith were arrested in September 2005

While FSU's Coach, Bobby Bowden wrote a letter to the court in an attempt to get former Nole Michael Gibson a reduced sentence for his crimes. What'd he do??? Gibson shot, raped and then left an F$U coed for dead. For good measure, on his way out the door Gibson took her Christmas presents.

The Penn State stuff makes Bobbah look like a gosh-darn Saint.

Not to diminish what is rightful anger at Penn State, but it would be wrong to assume that such problems don't exist at any major university -- probably at the minor ones too. My guess is that most schools work first to protect themselves. What I have witnessed first hand, and learned about anecdotally, is that they are scared to death of bad publicity, media circuses, law suites and reform from outside.

If you really want to see schools squirm, turn this into a national inquiry regarding date rape and sexual harassment among students and faculty.

Absolutely irrelevant to play the "bad stuff happens everywhere" card.

Absolutely relevant that schools do not like bad publicity, media circuses, and law suits. The best way to prevent bad publicity, media circus, and law suits is to probably act on information that could be damning if it hits the media via the way this has hit the media for State Penn. IMO it is much worse for a place to try to hide it, make it disappear, sweep under the rug, or in this case, stick your collective head in the sand, about bad, bad stuff.

This professor at State Penn was arrested in 2005/2006 on child sex abuse charges. Was there a media storm about it? Did folks in Texas or Nevada know about it? Did folks in Ohio know about it? Now it is brought back into the media because of the cover up/head in sand. Again, IMO if one acts on information responsibly, the backlash (media/public) seems to be much kinder.

Speaking of "bad stuff happens everywhere", I have to go to a meeting....the one thing that administrators feels justifies their existence. Hopefully, the note on my office door will get one of my students to stop by for "help".

prof - one thought arose in discussions this past weekend.

Just what kind of college campus would be ideal for this type of abuse to go on, condoned, enabled or hidden for years?

The conclusion was that it had to be at an institution which was relatively or highly isolated. One were the college or university was the town, for all intents and purposes. (Student body over-matches the town's population). Oh, and to marry up with the current story you must have strong devotion to a money sport.

State College fits that profile completely. There really are not that many other locations which would match the profile of isolation and football mania.

An example fitting the profile in terms of isolation / population imbalance might be Clemson.

Would there be others?

The judge that gave Sandusky bail had more of a relationship with Second Mile than just being a volunteer.

The chairman of Second Mile held a political fundraiser at his house for her, and she isn't bright enough to recuse herself. How frickin' stupid can the entire collection of people involved in this thing be?

Second Mile Raised Funds For Judge

Updated: Tuesday, 15 Nov 2011, 5:22 PM EST Published : Tuesday, 15 Nov 2011, 4:28 PM EST

PHILADELPHIA - Documents released by a Philadelphia-area representative show The Second Mile, Jerry Sandusky's former charity, raised money for the judge who freed him on unsecured bail.

Rep. Mike Vereb said in a statement he wants the state Supreme Court and Attorney General to review what happened at Sandusky's arraignment last weekend.

Sandusky, a former Penn State assistant coach, was freed on $100,000 unsecured bail by District Judge Leslie Duchtot, which means he didn't have to put down any money for his bail.

Prosecutors wanted $500,000 secured bail and an ankle monitor for Sandusky.
In campaign filings released by Vereb, documents show Robert Poole, the chairman of The Second Mile, held a fundraiser for Leslie Duchtot on Oct. 9, 2007 as she was running for office.

At the time, Sandusky was still with the charity as its founder.

The fundraiser netted $1,463 and was held at Poole's house in State College, Pa.

Cont'd ...

I thought I saw somewhere that McQueary gave an interview on CBS last night.

Evidently, it was pretty worthless:

link

Sorry, Huff Post was the first link that came up...

Early on Tuesday evening, CBS' Armen Keteyian tweeted that Mike McQueary would be appearing on "CBS Evening News." He promoted the interview by saying that McQueary "breaks his silence and opens a window for me into his emotions."

...

According to the Associated Press, McQueary emailed a friend to dispute the popular opinion that he did not act. Perhaps chastened by the dissemination of that private email, McQueary was not disclosing much of anything when Keteyian turned up at his door.

"This process has to play out," McQueary told Keteyian from his porch. "I just don't have anything else to say right now."

Asked by Keteyian how he was feeling, McQueary responded, "All over the place, just kind of shaken."

Prompted by Keteyian, he agreed that he felt "crazy" and "like a snow globe." It seemed that Keteyian was referring back to off-camera discussions when trying to elicit the snow globe remark. After the briefest of interviews concluded, Keteyian offered his assessment of the young coach.

"He's very rattled by this whole experience. Off camera, he was telling how concerned he was about his personal life, his personal safety."

Athens, especially if OU had a good football team over the past 40 or so years.

Absolutely irrelevant to play the "bad stuff happens everywhere" card.

But it does. That doesn't mean that there's a Jerry Sandusky on every coaching staff, but in recent years there have been cover ups for sexual crimes at West Point, Annapolis, Colorado Springs, Notre Dame, Miami (Ohio), Colorado... and the beat goes on.

Does that excuse Sandusky, Paterno or Penn State administrators? No. But I don't believe they acted much different than many other school officials. As these articles show, there are many factors that inhibit a school's response, but the constant is that sex crimes are underreported and administrators have not been forthcoming in many instances.

http://www.inewsnetwork.org/special-reports/privacy-laws-prevent-sex-assault-investigations/

"Data from the National Institute of Justice show that about one in five women are victims of sexual assault in college, and just over 6 percent of men are."

http://chronicle.com/article/Education-Dept-Issues-New/127004/

"Schools are complying with Federal law unevenly. Overall, 4-year and historically black institutions are doing better than other schools. Most schools comply with the requirement to report crime data, but only about a third do so in a way fully consistent with Federal laws. Anonymous reporting, which encourages victims to come forward, is an option at just half of the Nation?s schools. Schools also provide basic resources unevenly. Fewer than half the schools studied inform students how to file criminal charges."

https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/205521.pdf

"Women who report sexual violence on college campuses seldom see their accused attackers arrested and almost never see them convicted, according to a Tribune survey of several Midwestern universities.
The survey of six schools in Illinois and Indiana found that police investigated 171 reported sex crimes since fall 2005, with 12 resulting in arrests and four in convictions. Only one of the convictions stemmed from a student-on-student attack, the most common type of assault."
