A Message To Penn State Students And Their Parents

Students attending Penn State University often encounter minor run-ins with the law. Oftentimes they are charged with such criminal offenses like underage drinking, retail theft or disorderly conduct.

As a parent of a student facing any of these charges, it may be easier to simply have your child enter a guilty plea, pay the fine and move on with life. After all, it’s a minor offense and will likely have minimal impact on your child, right? This couldn’t be further from the truth.
