STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — A Penn State spokeswoman said Thursday the university received a federal subpoena earlier this month, requesting information about Jerry Sandusky, his charity, the school and three of its administrators, The Patriot-News reported.
Spokeswoman Lisa Powers said the subpoena, from Peter Smith, the US attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, was received on Feb. 2.
Powers said the subpoena included a request for information on Sandusky and his charity, The Second Mile. A grand jury has alleged the former assistant football coach molested 10 boys, most of whom he met through the charity.
Sandusky has continually denied the allegations.
It is not known if the subpoena is directly related to the ongoing prosecution of the Sandusky case, or if it part of another unspecified investigation.
The Second Mile charity received a request for information about Sandusky’s travel records in early November, days after Sandusky was arrested, The Patriot-News reported, citing an unidentified source.
The charity’s new CEO David Woodle told the newspaper his organization was cooperating with authorities, but declined to comment further on the ongoing investigation.
Powers said the subpoena also included a request for information about former university president Graham Spanier, and former school officials Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, who have been charged with perjury and failure to report a crime in relation to the Sandusky scandal.
She declined to comment about what information had been requested.
