Ex-Penn State president Graham Spanier released on bail

The inconceivable acts of sexual abuse towards minors, carried out by former Penn State football assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, lead to the forced resignation of past president of the university, Graham Spainer. Following this resignation, was the firing of head football coach Joe Paterno and athletic director Tim Curley. Sandusky was found guilty on 45 of the 48 malevolent counts of sexual abuse, and was sentenced to minimum 30 years in prison in early October. Spanier was put under major criticism when he released a statement out of support for his colleagues who were fired as a result of the case claiming that they, "operated at the highest levels of honesty." He failed to express any sympathy for the victims or the victims families of the controversy. Spanier was recently arrested and brought up on grand jury perjury, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and child endangerment charges. Wednesday's court appearance resulted in Spanier being released on bail. The bail was set at $125,000. He was ordered to forfeit his passport and provide fingerprints for police record. This is an ongoing case that has been in news headlines for a little over a year now and still continues to develop.
