It's all about perception. Would the general public really believe he was innocent in 98 then guilty of the same thing in 2002?
As far as I can tell, 1998 wasn't a cover up. An investigation took place by the police and the prosecution decided they couldn't go forward with charges. That's not a cover up.
A cover up is what happened in 2002 when McQueary reported what he saw to Paterno and it wasn't reported to authorities.
FIFY
why did they abruptly "STOP" their investigation and prosecution? This is a lingering question....oh, it's probably nothing, oh wait, let's ask the prosecutor....oh, nevermind, he is missing, isn't that convenient.

The FBI should be investigating this hardcore too, and they probably are. I have a feeling that the rabbit hole goes quite deep.

Wow.
If I were a PSU fan I'd be very nervous. The threat is becoming more and more real the further this develops.
Very noteworthy that Emmert himself says the penalties will be severe. Also his response to precedent for this case - there is none. This is a very unprecedented and atrocious scandal.
