Does this money go to the victims? Does he get it? Does the wife get it?

Did any victim file a civil suit? If not, then yes, he will get his money.

Law is the law, good on the gov't for giving the man his pension. If there is no small print that says a pension can be taken away if a guy commits crimes after he retires, then you gotta give him the dolla bills yo. I don't like the idea of the gov't being able to step in and rip retirements from people, on a larger scale this is a confidence boosting ruling.


HOpefully somebody sued him though and this money will go to them.
 
Penn State’s athletic department on Thursday announced plans to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Joe Paterno’s first game as coach, a move that sparked backlash on social networks by people critical of Paterno’s role in the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.

The university announced plans Thursday to mark the anniversary when the Nittany Lions football team hosts Temple on 17 September.

University spokesman Jeff Nelson told the Associated Press that Penn State plans to announce specifics of the commemoration to ticket holders during the week of the game. He declined further comment on the plans.

Paterno coached at Penn State for 46 seasons, becoming college football’s winningest coach. But the coach was fired by the school’s board of trustees shortly after Sandusky, who was his defensive coordinator, was arrested in November 2011 for child sexual abuse. Paterno died in January 2012 of lung cancer.

The announcement to honor Paterno’s first game was met with disdain on social media sites from those who partially blame Paterno for the scandal.

BELLEFONTE, Pa. (WTAJ) – Pennsylvania State Police arrested Jeffrey Sandusky, 41 and charged him with sexually assaulting a child. Sandusky is the adopted son of Jerry Sandusky, the former Penn State football coach who was convicted on multiple counts of child sex abuse.

Sandusky was arraigned on charges Monday afternoon in Bellefonte. His mother, Dottie Sandusky, was also at the District Magistrate’s office.

Pennsylvania State Police began an investigation in November 2016 after a child claimed to have received text messages from Sandusky, including some that asked for naked photographs.

According to State Police, Sandusky was dating the child’s mother and had lived in the residence for about five years.

The explicit text messages were shared with the child’s father, who then notified police.

After learning on the alleged abuse, Sandusky was asked to leave the home.

Monday afternoon, bail was set at $200,000.

Sandusky is prohibited from any contact with minors.
 
BELLEFONTE, Pa. (Reuters) - Former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky, convicted in 2012 of abusing his position to sexually assault teenage boys, is due in court on Friday to seek a shorter sentence after his current one was ruled unconstitutional.

After his conviction, Sandusky, 75, was sentenced to 30 to 60 years, with a mandatory minimum that has become illegal since a trial judge imposed it seven years ago. He would not have been eligible for parole until he turns 98 years old.

Following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2013 that requiring judges to impose mandatory minimum sentences was unconstitutional, a Pennsylvania Superior Court in February ordered that Sandusky be resentenced.

But the state court rejected Sandusky’s request for a new trail based on his claim that he had ineffective legal counsel during his trial, a decision the Pennsylvania Supreme Court declined to review.

Sandusky’s appellate lawyer, Peter Goldberger, last month also sought to petition a federal court to vacate his conviction, but was told he could not do so until he is resentenced.
