Sports Briefing | College Football: Joe Paterno Son’s Suit Dismissed

Judge Lawrence Stengel of United States District Court dismissed a lawsuit filed against Penn State by the former assistant coach Jay Paterno, a son of Joe Paterno, but left open the possibility for state claims to be refiled. Jay Paterno and another former assistant, Bill Kenney, had filed the lawsuit in Philadelphia in 2014, saying they were unfairly linked to the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal.
