The well-known ice cream parlor on PSU's campus has an unfortunate name when tied into the sleepover stories.EXCLUSIVE: Penn State Paid by Sandusky's Charity for Use of Facilities as Recently as 2009
Financial records obtained by FoxNews.com show $124,587 was given to Penn State by The Second Mile in 2009. The year before, in 2008, the university received $119,592 from The Second Mile. The money is listed under 'food and lodging' in charity records, and officials said the payments were made on a series of week-long sleepover camps.
Penn State apparently took money for the camps months after the mother of a high school freshman contacted authorities in the spring of 2008 saying her son had been abused by Sandusky. That allegation kick-started the grand jury investigation that earlier this month indicted Sandusky on 40 counts of child sex abuse charges.
It's not clear if Sandusky, who was still director of The Second Mile in 2008 before the group cut ties with him, participated in the camps. University officials said their records do not show the names of those who participated, and The Second Mile officials declined requests to answer questions about Sandusky's involvement.
But Sandusky was still an 'active' director of The Second Mile and earned $57,000 in The Second Mile's 2008 fiscal year, which ended August 31, 2008. Three months later, in November, Sandusky told The Second Mile he was under investigation, and the charity banned him from activities with children, according to a recent statement by the former The Second Mile CEO Jack Raykovitz, who resigned on Sunday.
Sandusky also held sleepover football camps for boys, run through his own corporation, Sandusky Associates Inc., at satellite Penn State campuses all over the state, even after he was turned out from The Second Mile.
When asked for details about money paid to Penn State in 2008, the university's associate vice president for finance and business, Daniel Sieminski, told FoxNews.com via email that The Second Mile ran five weeks of camps. "These funds paid for all the food, lodging and miscellaneous expenses incurred by the University for these camps."
In response to a series of follow-up questions, Sieminski said the activities related to the camps were held at various locations on the main Penn State University Park Campus. "Camps were conducted in classrooms, the outdoor pool, outdoor fields, and Creamery," he said, adding that campers had access to those locations and the university dorms where they stayed.
