While Penn State is reportedly investigating new allegations of sex crimes committed by Jerry Sandusky, the former assistant football coach will be sentenced again Friday for past crimes.
Sandusky, now 75, was convicted in 2012 on 45 counts of child sexual abuse. He was sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison, but Pennsylvania’s state Superior Court ruled last February the mandatory minimum sentences had not been properly applied.
Meanwhile, Penn State is reportedly investigating new allegations of abuse from Sandusky, according to CNN.

A university spokesperson told the network a report was filed last month with campus police. The report said a visitor was "sexually assaulted by a known person” at the Lasch Football Building between June 2000 and September 2010.
"This incident report is the result of the university's internal and external reporting procedures upon receipt of a new allegation of abuse by Jerry Sandusky," the university spokesperson said. "An investigation is ongoing and we have no further comment."
Al Lindsay, Sandusky's attorney, told CNN they do not know what the new allegations are about.
