HARRISBURG, Pa. —

Former Penn State President Graham Spanier wants a judge to loosen his bail rules to make it easier for him to travel outside Pennsylvania and overseas.

Spanier is accused of covering up complaints about Jerry Sandusky, a former assistant football coach convicted of sexually abusing boys.

His request filed last month says he wants to visit his second home in New York City, spend the holidays with Iowa relatives and visit his ill mother in Chicago.

Spanier also wants to travel to Slovakia for a wedding, to a Holocaust memorial event in Germany and to the United Kingdom for work involving the U.S. Department of State.

The court has not yet ruled on his request and a hearing is scheduled for next week.
