HARRISBURG -- Penn State University officials including legendary football coach Joe Paterno didn't do enough to stop sexual abuse of children by a former defensive coordinator, the state's top law enforcement officials said on Monday.
Authorities will not target Paterno in their investigation of whether officials covered up the abuse, because he fulfilled his legal requirement to report what he knew to his boss, state police Commissioner Frank Noonan said. But neither he nor Attorney General Linda Kelly would say whether university President Graham Spanier was in the clear.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - An explosive sex abuse scandal and allegations of a cover-up rocked Happy Valley after former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, once considered Joe Paterno's heir apparent, was charged with sexually assaulting eight boys over 15 years. Among the allegations was that a graduate assistant saw Sandusky assault a boy in the shower at the team's practice center in 2002.
Sandusky retired in 1999 but continued to use the school's facilities for his work with The Second Mile, a foundation he established to help at-risk kids, where authorities say he encountered the boys. The case took on added dimension Saturday when perjury charges were announced against Tim Curley, Penn State's athletic director, and Gary Schultz, vice president for finance and business.
