Ex-Penn St official: ‘I should have done more’ in abuse case
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Two former senior administrators at Penn State testified Wednesday they regret how they handled a 2001 complaint about Jerry Sandusky showering with a boy, more than a week after they both struck plea deals and became witnesses against former university president Graham Spanier.
Former athletic director Tim Curley told jurors in Spanier’s child endangerment trial that he and former vice-president Gary Schultz did “what we thought was appropriate” at the time by banning Sandusky from taking children into team facilities but not alerting police or child-welfare authorities.
“At the end of the day, I wish I would have done more,” Curley said.
Schultz said he took a plea because he felt he had been “deficient” for not reporting it.
