Penn State donated to Sandusky charity

Penn State University was one of the donors to the youth charity at the center of the child sex-abuse charges against former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.

Penn State donated between $1000 and $1999 to The Second Mile in 2009, and its Altoona campus donated between $2000 and $4999 that same year.

   The donations came even after high-ranking university officials were told that Sandusky had been seen sexually assaulting a boy on campus.

   Another donor was the judge who granted unsecured bail to Sandusky. State College District Judge Leslie Dutchcot gave money to The Second Mile in 2009.

   Dutchcot didn’t immediately respond to a question about whether she’ll recuse herself from the case.

   The attorney general’s office declined to say if prosecutors would ask Dutchcot to recuse herself.
