Two former Penn State University administrators each pleaded guilty Monday to a misdemeanor child endangerment charge for their roles in the Jerry Sandusky child molestation case, more than five years after the scandal broke. Penn State ex-President Graham Spanier was also charged in the case. The three former administrators at Penn State's flagship campus in State College had also faced charges of conspiracy. Their cases have dragged on for years because of a dispute about their representation during a grand jury appearance by Penn State's then-chief counsel Cynthia Baldwin. Penn State's costs related to the Sandusky scandal are approaching a quarter-billion dollars.
