No, the accurate assessment was that one of his assistant coaches witnessed another coach abusing a child and he reported this incident to his supervisor. There is no evidence that he was part of a cover-up, and he is not charged with a crime because he met his legal obligations. His supervisor, the athletic director, is under suspicion (and I think might be charged with a crime) for covering up the situation but has (for some reason) not been fired and most people don`t seem to be upset at him.
What we don't know is whether Joe Paterno was another individual that was lied to by the Athletic director because, had the athletic director told him that a police investigation was done as well as an investigation by the school that found no merit in the accusation (even though that would be a lie), it would demonstrate why he acted in the way he did; and why he didn't fire the coach or go to the police.
