Pennsylvania State University has reached its first settlement with a victim of the child sex abuse committed by former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. Sandusky is serving a sentence of 30 to 60 years for sexually abusing 10 young boys. The school has allocated around $60 million to handle the victims’ claims. Last month, three former top Penn State officials were ordered to stand trial for their alleged role in the cover-up of Sandusky’s crimes. Former Penn State president Graham Spanier and two other top administrators are accused of a “conspiracy of silence” for failing to report Sandusky to police despite evidence Sandusky was abusing young boys.
