David Joyner, acting athletic director for Penn State, has issued a statement in regard to the guilty verdict in the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse trial.
Joyner became the acting AD on November 16, acting for Tim Curley, who is charged with perjury and failure to report suspected abuse.
Here is his statement:
"Our thoughts this week, and for the last eight months, have been with the victims of Jerry Sandusky’s abuse, whose courage has resulted in yesterday’s judgment. It is our responsibility to the victims and to every individual our University impacts to move forward under the highest mantle of integrity. The trust of our community has been broken, but Penn State Athletics will move forward to regain that trust, with student athletes serving as the role models we expect them to be, and coaches living by example. Our hope is that this verdict grants peace to the victims and their families and allows them to move forward in their recovery process."
