EDITOR: We normally do not carry articles on crime except as they relate to governance, the media, or other considerations greater than the specific story.  However, given the wide scale interest in a matter that relates to Penn State University (and indirectly Gov. Tom Corbett), we will link to articles such as the above until we are certain they are being covered by the local newspapers.
