"He’s legaly obligated !!!"

You need to tell this to the State Attorney General. During her press conference, she all but said they aren't going after JoePa in this investigation. He did what was required. That's when the State Police Chief made his statement:

Paterno may have fulfilled his legal requirement to report suspected abuse by former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, state police commissioner Frank Noonan said, "but somebody has to question about what I would consider the moral requirements for a human being that knows of sexual things that are taking place with a child."

From reading that statement, it appears that they don't believe they can go after him legally.

The police don’t always know the details of certain laws...there are reports out now on whether he will be prosecuted or not. His age and reputation may get him off. Personally I don’t think he should face jail time but he should be charged.
