I am convinced that Paterno knew then about Sandusky’s proclivities with respect to little boys and used it as leverage to force him out.

And you would be wrong. Even the Freeh Report indicates that Sandusky's retirement had nothing to do with it. He took advantage of a standard but lucrative retirement offer to long-standing employees so that he could spend more time with his charity.

So an indication in the Freeh Report is the authority on why Sandusky retired? Bologna. I may very well be wrong, but then again, you may be wrong instead.

Of course Sandusky wanted to spend more time with his charity.

I have it on good authority (Lane Kiffin) that a career in coaching football, even as an assistant, is also lucrative.
