Should Paterno be morally obligated to alert the police?


An article came out today about Joe Paterno’s release as head coach of Penn State. He was the winningest coach in college football and had been at penn state for 46 years. 

Why would Paterno have a moral obligation? He did what he was supposed to—he alerted his superiors. I would think that if he found out about it a second time he would have this moral obligation, but  this first time he had every reason to trust that his superiors would do what is right and alert the police. I don't think he should have been fired.
