Former Pennsylvania State University President Graham Spanier sued to stop his prosecution for allegedly covering up the sexual abuse of children by ex-football coach Jerry Sandusky.
Prosecutors violated attorney-client privilege when they questioned Cynthia Baldwin, a former Penn State general counsel, Spanier said in the complaint filed today in federal court in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Spanier accused prosecutors of “bad faith” and deception by failing to inform him that Baldwin identified herself as only a university lawyer and not his counsel during his grand jury testimony.
