He says he did the right thing and quote “made sure it stopped.”

In an email - Penn State Assistant Coach Mike McQueary told friends and former teammates he stopped the highly publicized alleged assault and spoke to the police. CNN reports.

But the grand jury presentment claims McQueary was ‘distraught’ after seeing Sandusky molesting a young boy in the shower -- and left immediately to call his father. After which, he was advised to leave the building.

Now the former grad assistant, in his first television appearance, tells CBS he’s having trouble dealing with it all.

Many in the media have suggested the email represents a changing of McQueary’s previous story. Business Insider’s Tony Manfred suggests there’s a lot we still don’t know, and he offers two possibilities.

“1. He's playing with semantics here. We know that he met with Gary Schultz — the PSU VP of finance who was the administrator who oversaw the campus police. No one really considers talking to a bureaucrat like Schultz ‘going to the police.’...”
“2. He actually testified to the grand jury that he went to the police, we just haven't seen the whole thing.”

But if McQueary did go to police -- where’s the police report? The Morning Call tried to answer that question, but got nowhere.

“Asked whether there is a file on McQueary's alleged report to the university police in 2002, a spokesman for the state attorney general's office said he could not discuss matters that might still be before the grand jury.”

But Sandusky and his lawyer dispute McQueary’s version of events. Speaking on NBC’s Today Show -- Sandusky’s lawyer Joseph Amendola -- say they may have found the boy who was allegedly in the shower with his client -- and he has a different story.

McQueary said in his email that though he did not physically intervene, he ‘made sure it had stopped’ when he left the locker room. Sandusky is charged with 40 counts of sexual abuse of children and is free on $100,000 bail.
