He wasn't told that, and Sandusky had been retired for three years. He absolutely was told that, he admitted it in sworn testimony. And if you don't want to count Sandusky as a current subordinate then it's even worse that he never contacted the police. no, that's not worse. at all. if he were a subordinate then paterno could arguably be considered the top of the chain of command, and perhaps be the person obligated to contact police. since he was not sandusky's boss any more, he passed the complaint along to the people whose job it is to deal with matters like that. paterno has been quite consistent throughout his career in staying out of legal matters when his players are involved. he lets the administration handle it. as for the sworn testimony, please point me to where paterno was told by mcqueary that a rape had occurred. I only leafed through the grand jury report but it sure as hell seems the GA told Paterno what was going on in the shower.
