JoePa wields a lot of power within the State and the University. However, he rarely throws his weight around. He mainly did it to get contract extensions. Never really any other time.
That being said, please read the timeline I provided before. The local authorities ALREADY KNEW long before it was even brought up to JoePa. For whatever reason, the DA and the local authorities chose not to act. That is not the fault of the University or JoePa as the DA and the police are the sole arbiters of when to arrest and prosecute someone.
For example, a close friend was once accused of rape. I was interviewed, some of our friends were, and in the end the DA and the police chose not to arrest/prosecute for lack of evidence/credibility of the accuser. Not one person in our social circle found it out to see Him walking around campus and still going to class. Though the university did pull the accuser and the accused from all classes together until the DA made their decision. After which the university conducted a similar investigation and found that no violations of the university's honor code and conduct code had occurred, citing the same things that the DA had in the first place. However, the only reason that the university even got involved was the "event" occurred on university property and the university police responded to the complaint call.
Finally, I don't believe the victims were paid off. As seen in the timelines it was the victims family members who brought this to the attention of the authorities.
