On November 15, portions of a recent e-mail from McQueary was published wherein he stated that he stopped the rape before he left the building. Subsequent news reports suggest that, in his e-mail, McQueary also stated that he talked to the police about the incident.
NOTE: Later, the full e-mail was released and it does include both statements.

If what McQueary says is true, two thoughts come to mind: 1) if McQueary said that to the Grand Jury, its Indictment should have said so. Instead, it states that after making eye contact with the victim and Sandusky, McQueary "left immediately, distraught." and, 2) the police have some serious questions to answer.
If Mike McQueary Proves His Story, Then the Police Are Facing Massive Lawsuit
There is no debate that in 1998, the police conducted an extensive investigation following a report concerning Jerry Sandusky's alleged sexually inappropriate dalliances with a young boy. Ultimately, the District Attorney refused to prosecute the case.

Is There More Here Than Meets the Eye? |
The Indictment makes clear that the Grand Jury found that neither McQueary nor anyone else at PSU spoke to the police about the 2002 incident. It states further that police records were subpoenaed, and no report or information concerning the 2002 incident was produced.
NOTE: The Indictment indicates that numerous PSU officials (Schultz, Curley and Spanier) testified that they informed the child protection agency about the incident. The Indictment indicates that Department of Welfare records were subpoenaed, and no report or information about the 2002 incident was produced. There will surely be more on this going forward. Query: If the Grand Jury believed that the PSU officials were lying when they claimed they spoke with child protection officials about the 2002 incident (an assumption that seems to naturally arise given the absence of any records of such reports), then why weren't they indicted for that perjurious testimony? Cound it be that the Grand Jury was skeptical of the "no records" response from the Department of Welfare? Certainly an issue that bears watching...
McQueary - Lying, Misremembering? Or is Something Else Going on? |
Now, McQueary has said he did speak to the police about the 2002 incident. If the police were in fact notified of the 2002 incident, this incredible drama may take a turn in a whole new direction - one that is sure to include a massive lawsuit against the police by all those who suffered abuse subsequent to March 2002.
What if McQueary Is Not Telling the Truth?
Having listened to McQueary, and to some of his acquaintances, he seems like a stand-up guy. You can be sure, though, that he just painted a bulls' eye on his back (and chest, head...) where local police are involved. The police will be out to prove that McQueary is lying about speaking with them about this incident. If, indeed, McQueary is not telling the truth about speaking with the police, well, this whole situation will explode beyond nearly anything we have ever seen in legal circles. It is interesting, too, that this e-mail appears to have been "written to leak," raising an interesting question. Were the lawyers McQueary met with last week behind the e-mail? Or is McQueary a "lawyer's nightmare," a client that takes critical action without first seeking legal advice.

Another possible problem for McQueary is now on the horizon, to wit: McQueary's claim is sure to stir ire against the police, and they may pursue McQueary civilly (for libel) if his e-mail is false.
Oh boy, is all I can say.
