2 Penn State ex-officials begin jail terms in Sandusky case
Two former high-ranking Penn State administrators surrendered Saturday morning to serve jail sentences for how they responded to a 2001 complaint about Jerry Sandusky showering with a boy.
Former university vice-president Gary Schultz and former athletic director Tim Curley turned themselves in, according to Lt. Michael Woods, the shift commander at the Centre County Correctional Facility. Wood confirmed their surrender, but said he was not authorized to release any other details from the jail, which is about 135 miles (217 kilometres) east of Pittsburgh. The lockup is about 7 miles (11 kilometres) northeast of Penn State’s main campus.
Schultz and Curley pleaded guilty to misdemeanour child endangerment in March, leading prosecutors to drop three felony charges of child endangerment and conspiracy.
Curley, 63, must serve three months in jail, while Schultz, 67, has two months behind bars. Jail officials said they will be evaluated for participation in work release while incarcerated.
