Ex-Penn State officials get jail time for not reporting Sandusky

Three ex-Penn State officials are getting jail time for failing to report now-convicted sexual predator Jerry Sandusky to authorities.

Former Penn State President Graham Spanier and former vice president Gary Schultz will have to spend two months in jail. Former athletic director Tim Curley will spend three months in jail. The rest of their sentences will be served in house arrest.

A graduate coaching assistant told administrators that he saw Sandusky molesting a boy in a football team shower in 2001. But Spanier, Curley and Schultz didn’t report him to child welfare authorities or police.

Sandusky wasn’t arrested until a tip in 2011 led investigators to interview the shower witness. Sandusky is now serving a 30-to-60-year sentence for abusing 10 boys, but is appealing.

Spanier also plans to appeal.

Should be much, much longer, but as usual $ buys people out of real punishment in this country all the time.

They should all rot in prison.

You just hope the lesson is learned from this; the institution should never be bigger from what's right and wrong.

Really a travesty...that's not anywhere near the penalty they deserve. You have no idea the money that is still being spent to protect Paterno...tens of millions...

IMO, if Joe P was.aware of this horrific behavior then his statue and all memorials to him should be removed.

He was.

This and frat hazing does not make a Happy Valley.

He was.

He most certainly was aware. This was systemic, institutionalized abuse. These guys deserve much more time than this.

No question based on email that Paterno knew. Sentences are a ludicrous wrist slap. Some trustees and many alums stil in denial. Saddest perhaps is frat hazing death partly due to the negligence of the entitled who know best - similar to Sandusky root.

Best line from the judge at sentencing was that if any of the defendants or Paterno or McQuery had simply called the police when they saw or heard of a crime being committed this all would have been unnecessary.

I guess calling it a "sex scandal" is one way to look at it...

Too bad George Kennedy isn't still with us...could have played Sandusky

I'm very interested in how HBO will show what Joe knew and what he didn't or will it be up to the viewer to decide. Also curious what kind of say the Paternos have in the film. They do everything they can to try to save Joe's image.
