A federal judge in Pennsylvania has ruled Federal Insurance Co. has no duty to defend convicted child molester and sex abuser Jerry Sandusky.
The insurer, part of the Chubb Group of Insurance Cos., had issued directors' and officers' and employment practices liability coverage to The Second Mile, an organization Sandusky founded for underprivileged children.
The former Penn State University assistant football coach faces civil litigation from his victims and is appealing his June 2012 conviction on 45 of 48 counts related to the sexual abuse of boys, many of whom he met at The Second Mile.
