STATE COLLEGE, Pa._ Two former Pennsylvania State University executives surrounded Saturday morning to begin their sentences in the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse case.
Tim Curley and Gary Schultz entered guilty pleas in March to one count each of misdemeanor child endangerment.
Former athletic director Curley received a sentence of 7 to 23 months incarceration, with three months in jail before completing the term on house arrest. He is also set to spend two years on probation.
Schultz, a former Penn State vice president, began a 6- to 23-month sentence, starting with two months in jail and the rest to be served on house arrest. He was also given a two years probation.
Both men testified against former Penn State President Graham Spanier, who was convicted on the same charge. Spanier is appealing his conviction and his sentence is delayed pending the outcome.
Spanier did not stay home Saturday while his former employees and fellow defendants who testified against him in court were adjusting to jail. He was onstage at the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts, playing the washboard with a string band.
Spanier asked the court for a new trial or a judgment of acquittal in his motions, leading to an order on Thursday delaying his sentence. He also argued for house arrest because of medical problems.
