Ex-Penn State president gets 2-month jail sentence linked to Jerry Sandusky abuse case
Fox News
A judge on Wednesdy ordered former Penn State University President Graham Spanier to start serving a two-month jail sentence in July in connection with the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse case.
Spanier was forced out as the school’s top administrator after Sandusky was arrested in 2011. Sandusky was convicted in 2012 for sexually abusing several boys during his career and is serving a 30- to 60-year sentence. After his two months in jail, Spanier will also serve two additional months of house arrest. His lawyers tried to get Spanier's sentence amended so he could serve his entire sentence at home because of health issues. Senior Deputy Attorney General Patrick Schulte told the judge the Centre County Correctional Facility will be able to handle his health problems. Spanier had open-heart surgery in 2019 and has advanced-stage prostate cancer.More Related News
