Former Pennsylvania Assistant Attorney General Frank Fina has been suspended from the practice of law in a case over his activities in the Penn State child sexual abuse prosecution, for overreaching the mandate of the grand jury supervising judge by asking questions of defendants that compromised their attorney-client privilege.

Fina, who led the investigation that culminated in the conviction of child molester Jerry Sandusky, was ordered by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to surrender his license for one year, plus one day.
