If I was the person responsible for initiating the investigation, I would have to investigate.
If I was the person, not responsible for initiating the investigation, then I would inform the one who is supposed to.
How about you?
If I was the "boss" btw -- and Paterno was not in this case -- this would very likely mean not investigating it myself but directing the matter to HR or security, who presumably would have the training to determine whether state law enforcement should be involved.
I'm reading the Grand Jury report now. It appears Paterno did follow up with a conversation with the head of the University Police (Schultz), and it was Schultz and Curley who blew the whole thing off.
If one is a witness, obviously, one then should call the police first, which in this case very well might have meant that campus police would have been first on the scene.
“If I was the “boss” btw — and Paterno was not in this case.”

Why the quotation marks? The terminology is wholly apropos.
So, Paterno is not at all responsible for what happens under the auspices of the Penn State football program?
REGARDLESS, of the inactions of others on the Penn State Campus, a responsible man would have demanded details concerning this incident, and certainly not allowed this criminal pervert back in the locker room.
