Correct me if I am wrong, but I read somewhere here that Paterno indeed contacted police after McQueary told him what he saw.
I understand he contacted the campus police.
He told the head of university police, who covered it up.
I'm sorry to report that you're wrong.
At some point Paterno and Athletic Director Jay Curley spoke with Gary Schultz, the PSU Senior Vice President of Business and Finance, but we don't know if Curley or Paterno called in Schultz. The Grand Jury documents don't say.
The head of University Police reported to Schultz on the organizational chart, but Schultz wasn't the head of the University Police. Just as the Director of the FBI reports to Barack Obama, but Obama is not the head of the FBI.
Schultz never reported the 2002 incident to the University Police. Nobody did. The GJ documents make that point clear. Schultz was NOT the University Police or the head of the University Police. He was a VP of Penn State.
When the students rioted the other night, or when a dorm was broken into, or a car was stolen, you didn't call Schultz. You called the University Police. Except, of course, in the case of anal rape of a preteen boy in the football showers.
