Jerry Sandusky

A story Tuesday wrongly described an e-mail exchange in 2001 among Pennsylvania State University administrators over how to respond to a report from an assistant coach that he had seen Jerry Sandusky in a shower with a boy. Football coach Joe Paterno did not send or receive any of the e-mails. The Inquirer wants its news report to be fair and correct in every respect, and regrets when it is not.

HARRISBURG - Three weeks after being sworn in, state Attorney General Kathleen Kane has delivered on a promise to name a top aide to review the handling of the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse case.

BELLEFONTE, Pa. - A judge has scheduled a hearing in former Pennsylvania State University assistant football coach Mike McQueary's lawsuit against the school. Court papers filed Friday indicate the March 18 hearing will be short. Penn State sought to have the lawsuit dismissed or put on hold while criminal charges are pending against two school administrators, but Judge Thomas Galvin earlier denied the request for a delay.

A Centre County judge denied Jerry Sandusky a new trial Wednesday, ruling that the former Pennsylvania State University football coach had sufficient time to prepare his defense to charges that he sexually assaulted teenage boys. Sandusky was convicted in June of 45 counts of sexual abuse of minors in a case that drew international attention. He was sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison. Sandusky, 68, argued that the denial of a trial delay amounted to a denial of his Sixth Amendment right to an attorney.

Having the "acting" designation removed from his title, Dave Joyner has been named athletic director at Penn State and will serve in the job through the term of university president Rodney Erickson, Erickson said Monday.

Erickson has said he will step down by June 2014, and a search committee has been appointed to find his successor.
