How can they support the guy? He saw a grown man molesting a young boy in the shower and didn't make sure something was done about it.

He didn't witness anything. He was told by someone else that Sandusky was seen doing some sexual acts with a 10-year old boy in the showers. Paterno told the Athletic Director about it and I'm guessing the AD went to the police, because there wasn't enough to convict Sandusky back when it happened. Either way, the PA State Commissioner said that Paterno fulfilled his legal obligations, although he questioned his moral obligations.

Anyways, I wondered why Sandusky was able to still access the facilities at Penn State and retain emeritus status, even after retiring in 1999. The president of the school should have revoked those privileges after the incident in 2002.
