Its hard to say what Paterno could have done until we actually hear his side of the story. For all we know, Paterno was told that this scumbag had been reported to the police and cleared. We do not know.

categorically wrong. here's a creative writing assignment for you: you have carte blanche to write his side of the story. you make up a "side of the story" that excuses his inaction when told of a 60 year-old man molesting a 10 year-old boy in the locker room shower at PSU, then continuing to allow the guy access to the facility for nine years (bringing kids with him on occasion) and knowing that the guy worked actively in a charity with disadvantaged kids for six more years. use aliens, Nazis, the mafia, drug cartels, the KGB, CIA, the Trilateral Commission, Nucky Thompson and the entire cast of Game of Thrones - whatever you want. there is no side of the story that could possibly be acceptable.
