Katz, Marshall & Banks partner David J. Marshall was quoted in the Washington Post in an article on the Penn State University child sex abuse scandal. The article reported that five former board members of Second Mile, the charity founded by Jerry Sandusky, claimed that they were kept in the dark about allegations of sexual abuse against Sandusky. Marshall pointed out to the Post that “it may have been only Sandusky who laid his hands on these children, but it is clear that a number of other individuals and agencies placed the children in harm’s way by knowingly taking actions that allowed the abuse to continue even after they became fully aware of it.”
Marshall is working with State College attorneys Andrew Shubin and Justine Andronici and University of Pennsylvania Law School Professor Seth Kreimer. The team represents one of the victims of sexual abuse at Penn State and is advising others.
