Convicted pedophile Jerry Sandusky is about to get a large amount of money for Christmas, but why? It looks like benefits he was supposed to receive had been illegally stopped.
Pennsylvania’s state government pension system will send Jerry Sandusky a $211,000 check next week.
It is to cover payments going back to when it illegally stopped his retirement benefits after the former Penn State assistant football coach was sentenced for child molestation, according to a letter obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press.
The State Employees’ Retirement System told Sandusky lawyer Richard Beran last week that it will mail the check Monday and that Sandusky’s $4,900 monthly benefits will resume in January.
The government tried to find a loophole around paying him, but a judge shut it down, so he will continue to collect his money for the foreseeable future. Sandusky is serving a 30-60 year prison sentence for his crimes.
