Penn State athletic director, business VP slated to surrender amidst child abuse scandal

Written by  Megan Lello, witf Reporter and Producer

(Harrisburg) -- Two Penn State officials are expected to surrender in Dauphin County today after being charged in a child sex scandal involving former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. Penn State Athletic Director Tim Curley and Senior Vice President for Finance and Business Gary Schultz are slated to turn themselves in to Harrisburg Magisterial District Judge Marsha Stewart this afternoon. They're charged with perjury and failure to report child abuse, which is a crime under the state's Child Protective Services law. A spokesman for the state Attorney General's office says it's taken years to charge Sandusky and the two officials because a grand jury needed time to hear testimony from many victims and university employees. Sandusky, who's charged with sexually abusing eight young men from his charitable organization The Second Mile, is due to appear at a preliminary hearing this week. State Attorney General Linda Kelly, who's expected to release more details on the case later today, is also working to identify any additional victims.

Worked for CYF at state office of Computer center for Childline. the man in charge was dumping the digital files yearly and erased and never reported the complaints against priests. Ellene West was in charge of Childline and told all her subordinates not to take calls against priests, If these two people were protecting the Roman Catholic church, might they not been protecting Penn State as both of them were avid followers of the Penn State footballers.
