Former Assistant Coach Mike McQueary and Whistleblower Sues Penn State $4 Million

If we all remember what happened in the beginning that busted the Jerry Sandusky case wide open but quietly, it would be Penn State's former assistant coach, Mike McQueary. McQueary's concern about what he saw Sandusky doing in the showers with a young boy was heard on deaf ears but it spiraled into why things weren't handled correctly back then.

Mike McQueary is now suing Penn State for $4 million. He's suing over the way he says he was treated in the Jerry Sandusky sex-abuse case, reports the Philadelphia Inquirer. The former assistant football coach's whistleblower suit says 'the university fired him for cooperating with authorities and cast doubt on his credibility by publicly supporting two school officials he singled out for a failure to act.'

McQueary has been criticized for not doing more at the time. He is  seeking $4 million to cover the amount he would have made had he remained at the university his entire career.

He says the university has caused him "much distress, anxiety and embarrassment" since Sandusky's November arrest. Meanwhile, Sandusky's sentencing is scheduled to take place next Tuesday.
