Police: McQueary never filed a report.
State College, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- Representatives of Penn State's campus police and State College police said Wednesday they have no record of having received any report from a Penn State assistant football coach about his having witnessed an alleged rape of a boy by former coach Jerry Sandusky.

The police departments' statements don't corroborate those made in an e-mail from the assistant coach, Mike McQueary, who said he witnessed the alleged incident in a Penn State locker room in 2002.

Lisa M. Powers, a Penn State spokeswoman, told CNN that the university police has no record of any police report filed by McQueary. "Today was the first we have heard of this through the media," Powers told CNN in an e-mail.

State College police also had no reports from McQueary, according to State College Police Chief Tom King. (State College is the town surrounding the university campus).

1. Well there goes the credibility of the only witness
The janitor has dementia. Everything else is gossip. There is no physical evidence. How will this play out in a court of law?
Poor kids. :(

2. My understanding, fwiw, similar to that of ESPN guy on ?Rachel?Lawrence show
that he spoke w some 'police' person, mebbe in university police capacity. Who knows that police person's habits in hearing such report, which was likely a spoken 'report.' jmho.

3. What about the 2 prior reports?
Seems the police have a habit of losing reports on this case.

4. i think if he had
that would have been part of the record long before this. pity. he was faced with a terrible choice and did not have the courage to do the right thing. i struggle to judge him because it wasn't me, i wasn't there, and i can imagine that Sandusky was a powerful figure for him as well. but as my son said, you go find a phone, you dial 911. but this guy left and went and told his dad and from there on out it was all about protecting the school and the football program and damn the victims.

on a side note, i read an article earlier today that was an interview with the mother of Sandusky's adopted son. it mentioned McQueary witnessing sandusky "having sex with" the child in the shower. EXCUSE ME, he was RAPING that child. 10 to 12 years old. the word is RAPE. just needed to put that out there.

7. He never said a report was filed.
He said he discussed it with police, and the "police" could have been Schultz.
