The entire Grand Jury's 23-page report is here as a PDF file
This is the part about Paterno:
Quote:
p7: Joseph V. Paterno testified to receiving the graduate assistant's report at his home on a Saturday morning. Paterno testified that the graduate assistant was very upset. Paterno called Tim Curley ("Curley"), Penn State Athletic Director and Paterno's immediate superior, to his home the very next day, a Sunday, and reported to him that the graduate assistant had seen Jerry Sandusky in the Lasch Building showers fondling or doing something of a sexual nature to a young boy.
<snip>
Approximately one and a half weeks later, the graduate asssstnat was called to a meeting with Penn State Athletic Director Curley and Senior VIce President for Finanace and Business, Gary Schultz ("Shultz"). The graduate assistant reported to Curley and Schultz that he had witnessed what he believed to be Sandusky having anal sex with a boy in the Lasch Building showers. Curley and Schultz assured the graduate assistant that they would look into it and determine what further action they would take. Paterno was not present for this meeting.

Curley and Schults later testified before the Grand Jury,
and denied the graduate student specifically told them
of "anal sex" or any specific "sexual activity".
p8: Shultz testified to meeting with Paterno and Curley,
and denied a specific report of sexual activity -
he instead called it "inappropriate wrestling".
Shultz acknowledged similarities between the 1998 and 2002 incidents
Elsewhere the GJ report states:

"The Grand Jury finds the graduate assistant's testimony to be extremely credible."

As I read the Grand Jury Report, it appears to me that Paterno did notify his immediate superior,
but there's no mention of him doing anything more.
It really appears frustrating that Tim Curley, PSU's Athletic Director,
did what he was supposed to do, up to a point.
He reported to the PSU President, Graham Spanier, and he reported to
Second Mile Executive Director, Jack Raykovitz, and he banned Sandusky
from bringing any youth onto the PSU campus.
BUT: portions of his testimony before the Grand Jury were deemed "not credible"
With all that, neither the University Police nor Dept of Children and Youth Services
were notified, as required by law.
