No he did not. Where are you getting your misinformation.
That 1998 investigation was being played close to the vest like all of these types of investigations, and like 2001 would have been. If anybody had told Paterno what was going on in 1998 they would have been breaking the law and been brought up on charges.
Where are you getting your information? I already posted a link, but I'll repost it especially for you. It seems you have difficulty keeping up.

Can you provide documentation that would be the case after the investigation was concluded?
