Judge: Second Mile Can Delay Transfer

The organization for troubled youth started by Jerry Sandusky has been given permission to delay its plan to shut down and transfer programs and assets to Texas.

Judge William Morgan of Warren, who is overseeing the case, gave The Second Mile permission to postpone the plan until the resolution of any damage claims filed by lawyers for Sandusky's victims.

The charity was financially crippled by the child sex abuse scandal involving Sandusky, the former Penn State assistant football coach convicted in June of 45 counts of child sexual abuse.

The Second Mile intends to shift programs and millions of dollars in assets to Houston-based Arrow Child & Family Ministries Inc.
