Former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, 67, was arrested and released on $100,000 bail after being arraigned on 40 criminal counts, according to the office of the state attorney general, Linda Kelly. She called Sandusky “a sexual predator who used his position within the university and community to repeatedly prey on young boys.”
Though reports surfaced months ago that Sandusky was being investigated, the case took on an added dimension Saturday when Penn State’s athletic director, Tim Curley, 57, and vice president for finance and business, Gary Schultz, 62, were charged with perjury. Both were expected to turn themselves in on Monday in Harrisburg.
Longtime head coach Joe Paterno, who has more victories than any coach in the history of NCAA Division I football, was not charged, authorities said, and the grand jury report did not appear to implicate him in wrongdoing.
