Jack Raykovitz, president and CEO of the Second Mile, has resigned, Sara Ganim reports. Raykovitz had been with the charity since 1983, six years after Jerry Sandusky founded it. Shortly after the news broke, the charity released a statement that read in part as follows:
We will conduct an internal investigation to assess our internal policies, procedures and processes and make recommendations regarding the organization’s future operations.
Raykovitz' biography page on the Second Mile site appears to have been removed several years ago, but it was pretty much just a photograph of him anyway. He's a psychologist by trade, having studied at Penn State and Rutgers.
The charity has been called into question regarding what it knew about sexual abuse allegations against Sandusky and when. The former Penn State coach said he told the foundation he was under grand jury investigation in 2008. Raykovitz testified at Sandusky's grand jury trial in April of this year.
