Here's a full analysis of Paterno's legal exposure from SI:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/michael_mccann/11/09/joe.paterno/index.html

"Under Pennsylvania's Child Protective Services Law, certain individuals,
including teachers and school administrators, have a legal obligation to
immediately report suspected child abuse to child protective services or
law enforcement, or to a "person in charge" (supervisor), who must then
report the alleged abuse to the authorities. The reporting must be honest.
When in writing, the reporting must also include known information about
the nature and extent of the suspected abuse, along with other material
details."
