Penn State reports $33M in additional Sandusky settlements

HARRISBURG - Penn State says it settled with six more victims or accusers of Jerry Sandusky, bringing the payout total to nearly $93 million.

The university's audited financial statements, dated Oct. 30, show $33.2 million in new payments over claims related to the university's former longtime assistant football coach.

Sandusky is pursuing an appeal while he serves 30 to 60 years in prison on a 45-count child sexual abuse conviction.

The report says more claims could be paid in the future, but provides no details.

The audit findings were reported Wednesday by WJAC-TV in Johnstown.

Penn State said in October 2013 it had agreed to pay 26 people $59.7 million related to the Sandusky scandal. The report says the school has now paid 32 claims.
