Again, judgment on Paterno would need to consider what he knew and what he did not know. I see no evidence in the article that anybody testified that Paterno knew that a young boy had been raped. According to the article, Paterno's testimony is/was that McQueary reported to Paterno that he had witnessed something disturbing in the locker room involving Sandusky. (even some of what I just said is conjecture, based on the article) In my heart of hearts, having watched Paterno's longstanding fidelity to high moral and ethical codes for several decades, if Paterno had more information than that, or even if he didn't, it is inconceivable that he would have failed to act decisively. That would have been completely out of character for him.

And so, he did act. He reported this to university administrators and (it sounds like) that means the Athletic Director. In my humble opinion, this sports opinion writer is taking a cheap shot at a legend of moral leadership.
