Jerry Sandusky’s Preliminary Hearing Postponed For Second Time

The preliminary hearing for Jerry Sandusky has been pushed back once again. The former Penn State defensive coordinator will now face 40 counts of child sex abuse charges on Dec. 13.

The case will be brought to an out-of-state judge to eliminate any real or perceived of conflict of interest with Penn State or Sandusky’s charity, The Second Mile, Patriot-NewsSara Ganim reports.

Former athletic director Tim Curley and former vice president Gary Schultz are still scheduled for preliminary hearings at 9 a.m. on Dec. 6 in Dauphin County, Penn. Each man is charged with perjury and failure to report a crime, stemming from a report of abuse on campus from 2002.

The preliminary hearing for Sandusky had already been pushed back to Dec. 7 in early November.
