The 16-year university president stood before District Judge William Wenner early Wednesday morning in Harrisburg on charges of perjury, child endangerment, obstruction of justice and failure to report suspected abuse, as well as conspiracy to commit the previously mentioned crimes.

Wenner set bail at $125,000 unsecured, meaning Spanier was free to go without posting any immediate money. He was, however, forced to forfeit his U.S. passport and agree to restrict all travel to the confines of Pennsylvania, Wenner said.

These requirements were also placed on former Penn State administrators Tim Curley and Gary Schultz. The former athletic director and the interim senior vice president for finance and business were arraigned Friday on the same charges.

Currently, a tentative preliminary hearing date has been set for Friday, Nov. 16 at the Dauphin County Courthouse. Curley and Schultz were set for their preliminary hearing on Wednesday, Nov. 14.

Directly following the 15-minute arraignment, Spanier’s attorneys Edward Spreha and Elizabeth Ainslie addressed the gathered media, though the two only spoke for a few minutes.

Ainslie, however, said the “conspiracy of silence” theory that Pennsylvania Attorney General Linda Kelly perpetuated is “absolutely ridiculous.”

“Dr. Spanier was never given a chance to speak to this grand jury to give his side of the story, and we look forward to the chance to present his side of the story in the future,” she said.

The two attorneys then left without further comment.

Spanier continues to maintain his innocence through his attorneys and left with his wife, Sandra, shortly following the arraignment.

Spanier is facing two felony charges, as well as two misdemeanors and a summary offense, according to the criminal complaint. Each felony charge carries a maximum sentence of seven years in prison and a fine of $15,000.
