An attorney for former Penn State assistant coach Mike McQueary filed a formal complaint at the Centre County Court of Common Pleas this afternoon.

McQueary is suing Penn State University for a total of $4,000,000 on the grounds of “lost future earnings, general damages to be determined at trial for distress, anguish, humiliation and embarrassment, plus punitive damages, and costs of suit.”

In 2001, McQueary reported witnessing Jerry Sandusky abusing a boy in the Lasch locker room showers. He initially told his father, Dr. Dranov, and the late Joe Paterno about the incident, but he elected not to report what he saw to police.
