HARRISBURG The former Penn State president who was forced out as the school’s top administrator when Jerry Sandusky was arrested a decade ago will soon have to report to jail after a judge on Wednesday upheld a sentence issued four years ago.
The judge ordered Graham Spanier to begin serving at least two months at the county jail several miles from the Penn State campus on July 9 followed by two months of house arrest on electronic monitoring for a single misdemeanor conviction of endangering the welfare of children.
