Why you lousy, no good, jump on a man while he's down, opportunistic bastard!
Yeah, it was denial. When it's a hero of sorts, nothing short of direct proof will satisfy. I wasn't going to believe rumors, guesses or possibilities. I'm still left guessing, and would love to ask Joe, why? Why would you delay or not want to report a man that did this?
Makes me wonder though, that age old question about whether or not you would rat out on a family member of you found out they were involved in a heinous crime. The Unabomber for example, I believe it was his own brother that is what finally busted him. What if it was a family member and you found out they were involved similarly as Sandusky? Do you report instantly? Do you try to help them? Do you talk to them? How does one handle something like this if it were a brother/brother situation?
