Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday announced on 13 November 2026 that William Spencer, 57, of Washington, Pennsylvania, the former director of the Washington/Greene Youth Football League (now the Western Pennsylvania Youth Football League), was sentenced in Washington County Court to 10 years of probation, the first six months on house arrest, and ordered to pay at least $1,500 a month toward restitution. Spencer previously pleaded guilty to felony theft by unlawful taking and misdemeanor counts of receiving stolen property and misapplication of entrusted property. Investigators found that between 2020 and 2025 he wrote 187 checks to himself from league accounts, totalling about $230,000, and used the money for credit cards, a retirement account and purchases at Amazon, restaurants and other retailers. He paid $30,000 up front and owes $200,939 more. Spencer led the league from 2013 until he resigned in March 2025.
A charge, an arraignment, a witness's testimony or a prosecutor's accusation is not a finding of guilt. People and companies named in these reports are accused, charged or, where the source says so, convicted or sentenced, and they are presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise. Do not treat a news report or a press release as a substitute for a court judgment. If you think you were affected by the same kind of scheme, keep records and report them to the investigating agency named in the source, or to your local police and your bank.
