Based on what we know, Paterno didn't violate any laws. I'm sure there will be civil suits against him, but I think more facts are necessary to really predict whether or not he'll be found liable. For example, if McQueary's email to friends saying that he talked to police about what he saw is true, Paterno may not have had any reason to go to police to re-report the same incident with an extra degree of separation. On the other hand, if Paterno know what Sandusky was doing but swept it under the rug, he'll almost certainly be found civilly liable. As much as the media hates to admit this, we'll have to wait and see.
