Can't add much to what's already been said, except to point out that plagiarism is not a crime, and therefore the concept of "reporting" it doesn't really make sense.
Plagiarism is not the same as copyright infringement. When you violate someone's copyright, you are stealing their creative work, and they are entitled to seek damages. With plagiarism, you are stealing ideas, opinions and research. There's no law against that, although the victim might well feel aggrieved at the loss.
Actually, this particular case sounds more like copyright infringement than plagiarism, as the passage in question was copied verbatim from another work, with no acknowledgement or citation.
