Sandusky Scandal-Related Costs Reach $47.7 Million in May

It’s time for everyone’s favorite monthly update.

Penn State’s costs associated with the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal through the end of May have been counted and the latest total is $47,753,721. That’s roughly $900,000 more than the previous month.

Penn State releases the totals as they become available and posts them, broken down into categories, on the university’s progress website. It generally takes around 45 days for costs to be adjusted.

Penn State paid the first $12 million of its $60 million fine into an escrow fund in December. The fine is part of the university’s NCAA sanctions. Penn State’s costs also include legal fees, public relations work and consultant costs. University officials say they expect some of the costs to be covered by Penn State’s insurer.

The fees, as compiled by Penn State, are as follows:

NCAA Fine: $12,000,000

Freeh Sporkin & Sullivan/Pepper Hamilton LLP: $8,170,627
