The answer is You are facing an ethical issue. This is an ethical issue for you because there are no rules that say that you have to report someone for plagiarism but your ethics bound you to report him. This could mean harsh punishment for Patrick and will also strain your friendship. So you are confronting dilemma of weather to report him or not.
