(Jerry) Sandusky's charity seeks approval to close

Source: CNN

A charity founded by Jerry Sandusky is seeking approval to close and transfer its assets to a Texas-based ministry, as the former Penn State football coach fights allegations of sexual assault.

The Second Mile on Friday requested court approval in Centre County, Pennsylvania, to transfer its programs to Arrow Child & Family Ministries, Second Mile's interim chief executive, David Woodle, said Friday.

Sandusky founded The Second Mile 35 years ago to help troubled youth. Sandusky faces more than 50 counts involving sexual acts with 10 boys, and prosecutors allege he met some of his accusers through The Second Mile.

Arrow also is dedicated to at-risk youth and their families.
