PHILADELPHIA -- Penn State has settled a court fight with its insurer over payments to victims of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal, a case that revealed new allegations about how early late Penn State football coach Joe Paterno knew of accusations against his assistant coach.
A one-page document filed with a Philadelphia court on Thursday stated the action against the Pennsylvania Manufacturers' Association Insurance Company was settled.
Terms of the deal and the amount of payment are confidential by mutual consent, a Penn State spokeswoman said in an email Friday.
As part of the legal tussle over whether the insurer would have to cover Sandusky-related claims, both sides obtained sworn depositions from key witnesses and other documents that hadn't previously become public.
