The pristine image of Happy Valley took a huge hit Saturday when athletic director Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, the senior vice president for finance and business, were both charged with felony perjury relating to sexual abuse charges filed against former football assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.
The indictment centers around an incident in which Sandusky allegedly assaulted a naked boy in the Lasch Football Building on the Penn State campus in March 2002.
If these allegations prove to be true, Curley and Schultz have to go. But they’re not the only ones.
Legendary coach Joe Paterno, who is said to have testified before a state grand jury that he knew of the allegation and informed Curley, apparently took no other steps such as telling authorities, so he should be gone, too.
Sexual abuse of children is a zero tolerance issue.
The 67-year old Sandusky, who lives in State College, was arrested Saturday and released on $100,000 bail after being arraigned on 40 criminal counts, the state attorney general’s office said. Sandusky, who works with at-risk children through his Second Mile organization, was charged with seven counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, eight counts of corruption of minors, eight counts of endangering the welfare of a child, seven counts of indecent assault and other offenses.
Authorities identified eight young men who were targets of sexual advances or assaults by Sandusky from 1994 through 2009, before a Clinton County, Pa., woman filed charges with police, accusing Sandusky of sexually assaulting her 12-year old son.
Curley, 57, and Schultz, 62, both face charges of one count of perjury, a third-degree felony. They were also charged with one count of failure to report the incident under Pennsylvania’s Child Protective Services Law. Schultz has control over the university police force.
If convicted, he could be sentenced to up to seven years in prison. Both men are scheduled to turn themselves
in Monday before Harrisburg Magisterial District Judge Marsha Stewart.
If the allegations are true, both should face disciplinary actions by the school. There are no scapegoats here.
This is a possible criminal act involving a child and Curley and Schultz had a legal responsibility to report what they knew...
