Two Penn State officials charged in connection with sex-abuse investigation

Kelly said Curley and Schultz agreed that Sandusky would be told he could not bring any more Second Mile children into the Lasch building, a ban that she said was "reviewed and approved" by Spanier "without any further inquiry on his part."

The release said the grand jury found that "Curley committed perjury in repeatedly denying that he had ever been told that Sandusky had engaged in sexual misconduct with a child." It said Schultz asserted the allegations concerning Sandusky were "not that serious" and that he and Curley "had no indication a crime had occurred," which contradicted other testimony.

Kelly said the failure of top university officials to act on reports regarding Sandusky "allowed a predator to walk free for years, continuing to target new victims."

"Equally disturbing is the lack of action and apparent lack of concern among those same officials, and others who received information about this case, who either avoided asking difficult questions or chose to look the other way," she said.

 Curley, a 1976 Penn State graduate, has been athletic director since December 1993 and oversees the university's 29 varsity sports. He worked for Paterno as a graduate assistant and recruiting coordinator before he was named assistant to the athletic director in 1981.

In June, Curley received the John L. Toner award from the National Football Foundation, a prestigious award among college athletics administrators, for "superior administrative abilities and outstanding dedication to college athletics and particularly college football."

Schultz, who oversees Penn State's police department as part of his duties, retired from his position in 2009 but was brought back on an interim basis while a search was being conducted for a replacement.
