Penn State athletic director Tim Curley is one of two university officials charged Saturday with felony perjury relating to the sexual abuse allegations against former football assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.
Curley and Gary Schultz, Penn State's senior vice president for finance and business, each are charged with one count of perjury, a third-degree felony punishable by up to seven years in prison, and a $15,000 fine, and one count of failure to report (under the Child Protective Services Law). Both men are scheduled to turn themselves in Monday before Harrisburg Magisterial District Judge Marsha Stewart.
The issue with Curley centers around an alleged sexual assault by Sandusky on a young boy in Penn State's Lasch Football Building in March 2002. Sandusky, who retired from Penn State after the 1999 Alamo Bowl, still had an office in the Lasch building and access to all the facilities.
