A judge has sentenced three former Penn State fraternity members to jail in the 2017 death of a pledge, the first defendants ordered to serve time behind bars in a case that rewrote Pennsylvania's anti-hazing law.
The sentences ranged from a minimum of 30 days to a maximum of nine months for Michael Bonatucci, 21, of Georgia; Luke Visser, 21, of Encinitas, Calif.; and Joshua Kurczewski, 20, of Erie, Pa. A fourth defendant, Joseph Sala, 21, also from Erie, received three to 10 months of house arrest. Prosecutors said Visser and Kurczewski set up a beer pong station as part of a series of drinking events known as the"gauntlet." Sala led pledges into the drinking course's start, prosecutors wrote, and Bonatucci handed out beer.
