AppId is over the quota
The Penn State football assistant whose report of alleged child sexual abuse by Jerry Sandusky led to the firing of coach Joe Paterno is filing a whistleblower suit against the university, the Centre Daily Times reports.
Lawyers for Mike McQueary, who is on paid administrative leave, did not detail the allegations in court papers filed today. McQueary is seeking damages "outside normal arbitration limits," the paper writes.
A Penn State spokesman said the university had not received the complaint and had no comment.
McQueary, then a graduate assistant, has said he complained to Paterno of seeing a boy in a locker room shower naked with Sandusky. He has testified that he believed Sandusky was molesting the boy and "having some type of sexual intercourse with him," but added he was not "100 percent" certain because of his vantage point, the Associated Press notes.
