HARRISBURG — A judge has set an Aug. 16 court date to hear oral arguments on pretrial motions in the case of two former Penn State officials charged with perjury and failing to report suspected child sexual abuse, Dauphin County Court officials said Tuesday.

Former university athletic director Timothy Curley and former university vice president Gary Schultz are awaiting trial on charges they lied to a grand jury investigating former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky and did not properly report suspected child abuse.

Court officials said Curley and Schultz are not required to be at the hearing, and they were not expected to attend.

Sandusky is in jail and awaiting sentencing after being convicted of dozens of abuse-related charges last month.

Former FBI Director Louis Freeh, who was hired by the university’s trustees to investigate, issued a report last week that could have consequences for the criminal case against Curley and Schultz.
