Former Penn State President Graham Spanier engaged in a “conspiracy of silence” with two other university administrators to conceal allegations against Jerry Sandusky, state Attorney General Linda Kelly announced Thursday, bringing the first charges against Spanier and adding more charges, some felonies, to the administrators’ existing dockets.
Spanier faces five felony counts one count of perjury, two counts of endangering the welfare of children, and two counts of criminal conspiracy. The state also charged Spanier with one count of obstruction of justice and a related conspiracy count, both misdemeanors. Spanier also faces a count of failure to report child abuse, a summary offense.
