Will be interested to see how this plays out. Did he actually stop it or is that what they are saying now to try and recover. If it is true, perhaps this is why he was not dismissed from the team.
A source familiar with the state investigation of child sexual-assault allegations against Jerry Sandusky tells ESPN's Tom Rinaldi that Mike McQueary stopped Sandusky's alleged rape of a boy as young as 10 years old that McQueary witnessed at a shower at the Penn State practice facility in 2002.
The source characterized McQueary, a key witness in the case, as "credible" and "consistent" in describing the events of the alleged attack to investigators.
McQueary, a Penn State wide receivers coach who was placed on administrative leave Friday, also told a friend in an email that he stopped the alleged rape and discussed it with police.
In the email, first obtained and reported Tuesday by The Morning Call of Allentown, Pa., McQueary said he "did have discussions with police and with the official at the university in charge of police" after the alleged incident.
In the email, dated Nov. 8, McQueary said "I did stop it, not physically, but made sure it was stopped when I left that locker room," The Morning Call reported.
McQueary declined to be interviewed and a message for his lawyer was not returned, the newspaper reported. State College police did not return a call seeking comment, according to the report.
In a brief interview with CBS News on Tuesday, McQueary said little.
"This process has to play out. I just don't have anything else to say," he said.
Asked about his emotional state in the past week, he said: "All over the place. Just kind of ... shaken."
