Jerry Sandusky will have to go to jail unless he can come up with $250,000 in bail a judge ordered on Wednesday after the latest sexual-abuse charges were made against the former Penn State coach, according to the Associated Press. Even if Sandusky makes bail, Judge Robert E. Scott ordered that he would have to wear an electronic monitoring device.
Jerry Sandusky Arrested: Bail Set At $250,000, Banned From Penn State’s Campus
Prosecutors had requested that Sandusky be held on $1 million bail, but their request was denied. In addition to the significant bail, Sandusky was also banned from Penn State’s campus.
Sandusky was wearing a Penn State track suit, and while it may have been entirely coincidental, it has to be making Penn State officials uncomfortable. The last thing they need is to have his connection to the school made even more obvious than it already has been.
