Pennsylvania State University has sued Pennsylvania Manufacturers' Association Insurance Co.—the school's liability insurer of more than 50 years—for denying coverage for litigation costs related to former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
According to the breach-of-contract complaint, the university has been sued or contacted by 30 claimants but the insurer has “failed and refused to agree to provide, and is not providing, to Penn State the benefits due under any PMA policy.”
Penn State is being sued by, or has been put on notice by, multiple victims of Sandusky, who was found guilty in June 2012 on 45 of 48 counts related to the sexual abuse of boys. He was sentenced to 30-60 years in prison.
