MikeyA, I understand your point about lawsuits and accusing someone without proof. However, Joe Pa had an eyewitness to the crime of child rape standing in his home, telling him what he saw. There was no reason for Paterno himself to make the report, he only had to dial the police and tell McQueary to tell LE what he saw. That's the maximum he had to do. Joe was McQueary's boss at the time (and was until yesterday).
Remember that Joe himself forced Sandusky into retirement in 1999, so he knew about the previous investigation of Sandusky. Three years later, he has an eyewitness in his home telling him that Sandusky had done it again. Joe certainly had reason to suspect that the story was true, as he already knew about the previous allegations.
