2 Penn State Officials to Stand Trial in Sex-Abuse Case

Two former top officials at Pennsylvania State University can be tried on charges of lying to a grand jury in the child-sex-abuse case against the former football coach Jerry Sandusky, a district-court judge ruled today. The officials, Gary C. Schultz and Timothy M. Curley, who have also been charged with failing to properly report the allegations, have maintained that they are innocent. In more than two hours of testimony today, Mike McQueary, the assistant coach who says he saw Mr. Sandusky molest a young boy in a university locker room, said he fully conveyed to the two administrators what he had seen. “I told them that I saw Jerry in the showers with a young boy and that what I had seen was extremely sexual and over the lines and it was wrong,” Mr. McQueary said. “I would have described that it was extremely sexual and I thought that some kind of intercourse was going on.”
