BELLEFONTE, Pa. — A former assistant football coach who won verdicts of more than $12 million from Penn State University over his treatment after Jerry Sandusky was arrested for child molestation is asking for another $1.7 million in legal fees.
Lawyers for Mike McQueary filed a petition Wednesday outlining the litigation costs and lawyer bills that would justify such an award.
The legal fees are being sought under the state’s whistleblower protection law.
A Penn State spokeswoman says the school will review the request.
McQueary testified he saw Sandusky sexually abuse a boy in a team shower in 2001.
