Talk to your friend? Because we now know that Sandusky was abusing children, of course we wish that Paterno had gone to the cops, but the morally correct decision may have been less clear at the time.

Either that or take a baseball bat to him, we're talking about the sodomy of a 10 year old boy.
Bear in mind the college and Paterno were already aware of allegations in 98 which Sandusky had admitted to, which seems to be why Sandusky retired in '99 then a few years later this comes up, no there is no excuse or extenuating circumstance that gets Paterno off morally, he was well aware that his friend was likely abusing little boys. That goes beyond any other consideration.
