There are a lot of questions that need answers; how did this sick, demented individual not only gain but maintain access to the facilities of one of the most prestigious colleges in America, how much/how long did the 84 year old patron saint really know, and how did so many people turn a blind eye come to mind.
But for me, the biggest question is this. How did this eyewitness, who purportedly witnessed first hand something even hardened criminals serving life in prison find completely depraved, just simply walk away and wait until the NEXT DAY to tell someone?
Not go to the police, not tell a superior IMMEDIATELY, and better yet, not do his very best to put this guy THROUGH the nearest available wall?
I'm 5 ft 5 and weigh 145 pounds when I'm wearing 10 foot weights in my shoes and this guy would have been breathing through a tube and eating all his food through a straw if I'd seen this. The fact that these people just turned a blind eye and apparently hoped it would all just go away makes me sick to my stomach.
If we don't look out for the children and the disabled and the down trodden and the ones who don't have a voice then what are we?
There's a line in Shawshank where the warden threatens Andy that he's gonna throw him down into the pit with the Sodomites in the prison.
My God, if there's one time in life that I wish I could channel a movie it's now.
Only that would be too good for these people.

I don't know the details of what happened, and after reading your post I don't think I want to. But this:
[If we don't look out for the children and the disabled and the down trodden and the ones who don't have a voice then what are we?]
may very well be your best work ever.
Yeah, you really don't want to know. But if you did you'd underst,d the anger. Sad, sad story.
