Penn State Administrators Plead Guilty As Students Return From Break

Former Assistant Coach Mike McQueary reported seeing Sandusky sexually assaulting a boy in a shower at Penn State in 2001 to Coach Joe Paterno, who reported it to his supervisor Curley.

Students at Penn State returned to classes on Monday the same day two former administrators pleaded guilty to endangering the welfare of children in the case of former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.

Former Athletic Director Tim Curley and former Penn State Vice President Gary Schultz both pleaded guilty to the charge of endangering the welfare of children. The charge is a misdemeanor. Both were charged with helping cover up Sandusky’s abuse of boys after it was reported to them.

Curley and Schultz’s guilty pleas could set up the possibility they will testify for the prosecution at next week’s trial of the former Penn State President Graham Spanier, according to a report by local Penn Live.

Curly and Schultz each pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor that carries a maximum possible penalty of a $10,000 fine and five years in prison.

“There is no provision of the agreement that would limit my ability to impose sentence as I see fit,” Judge Boccabella said.
