HARRISBURG, Pa. — Penn State’s costs for legal fees, consultants and public relations firms hired to help deal with the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal have reached nearly $17 million.
The university said it has spent almost $16.8 million through June 30.
Nearly $10 million of that went to seven firms for what Penn State calls internal investigation and crisis communications. Nearly $4 million went for university legal services and defense.
The university is also facing lawsuits from Sandusky’s accusers while the NCAA leveled a $60 million fine against the school in July.
