McQueary and Paterno did what was legally required, so they did not face criminal charges.
But neither of them ever followed up on the incident - either with their superiors or with law enforcement - even though they continued to observe Sandusky's presence on campus and his involvement with children. They were content to wash their hands of the problem. That's what I mean about passing the buck.

How many kids that played for Joe do you think had been falsely accused of something? How many rightly so? Don't you think that Paterno let the chain of command handle it? Rightly so, I say. That is what law abiding citizens do. To say he did nothing was a lie, to say he did not do enough is stating the obvious....
with hindsight.

That is when McQueary told Dr. Jonathan Dranov, a family friend and colleague of McQueary's father, that he had heard "sex sounds" and a running shower before a young boy peered around the corner of the shower's stall,
the Harrisburg, Pa., newspaper reported Sunday morning, citing a source with knowledge of Dranov's testimony before the grand jury that brought the charges.
McQueary, a receivers coach who remains on administrative leave, said he then saw an adult arm reach around the boy's waist and pull him out of view, Dranov told the grand jury, according to the newspaper's source.
Sandusky left the shower in a towel seconds later, the report said.
Because McQueary said he hadn't personally witnessed an assault, Dranov said he advised McQueary to report the incident to his superiors at Penn State, but that he shouldn't worry about informing the police, the report said.
Ousted coach Joe Paterno has said he was never told of anything such as rape or molestation about what happened in the shower stall. Paterno and McQueary discussed the matter the next day.
