Had he taken it upon himself to go to the police with an accusation against Sandusky, this would have been headline news. And if that accusation had proven false, Joe Paterno would have been fired and subject to a probable libel lawsuit.......

That is no longer the law in Pennsylvania. You are REQUIRED to report any incident of child sex abuse that comes to your attention. And you are shielded from liability for doing so.

That law was passed in response to the Catholic Church scandals. I do not know if it was in effect at the time McQuade caught Sandusky in the shower.

More likely the headlines would have driven away recruits and Sandusky would have dumped any dirt he had on the program at that point. It was never about the kids.

Explain it to the Grand Jury, they determined Paterno had fulfilled his obligation........
