Pennsylvania State University has agreed to pay $59.7 million to settle 26 cases involving individuals who were allegedly sexually abused at the hands of Jerry Sandusky, a former assistant football coach at the school.

The announcement confirms what was reported over the summer by The Legal that the university settled with the majority of plaintiffs who said they had been abused by Sandusky. Sandusky was convicted in June 2012 on 45 of 48 counts of child sexual abuse.
