A lawsuit former Penn State assistant football coach Mike McQueary filed against Penn State for defamation and other claims in the fallout from the Jerry Sandusky sex-abuse scandal has survived preliminary objections.
Chester County Court of Common Pleas Judge Thomas G. Gavin, specially presiding in Centre County, said in an opinion Tuesday that McQueary had adequately pleaded the necessary elements of his defamation and misrepresentation claims against the university and that the claims in McQueary’s complaint were all pleaded with sufficient specificity.
