New Accusations

The Penn State sex scandal will lead to additional accusations against schools and coaches. Long-term 'suppressed memory' cases and other sudden outcries will come in large numbers. Somehow, law-suits will help the victims live with their pain.

It is interesting to note that when taking my 'children' to college, I was told that because the 'children' were 18 years old, their grades were private. Although I could pay for my daughter's education, I was not entitled to see their grades. It is interesting to note that 18-year olds are of voting age.

In some states 17-year olds are tried as adults. Based on circumstances, some 15 year olds are tried as adults.

It is interesting to note that at 17, 18, or 19 years of age the 'children' cannot prevent another adult from molesting them. They do not know how to say 'no' or 'stop' and they do not know how to file a report with the college or the police.

Coaches that attempt to engage in inappropriate sexual misconduct should be reported and fired. School officials aware of such conduct should be reported and fired. All parties should be arrested and charged where sufficient probably cause exists.

Question: If an 18 year old man does not report a coach, is he libel for the abuse of children by the same coach tomorrow?

Eliminate monetary damages and watch the accusations go away.
