Penn State Football Coach Joe Paterno could be called to testify in the upcoming civil trial of a former star running back.
Austin Scott sued two former Center County prosecutors, his accuser and Penn State University Police last year saying rape charges filed against him in 2007 cost him a career in the NFL. The rape charges were later dropped.
Paterno is listed among the two dozen potential witnesses in the case. Scott’s lawyers say Paterno is well-aware of their clients NFL potential. A judge set September 1st as the deadline for all parties to gather evidence and finish the discovery phase of the case.
Scott is seeking compensatory and punitive damages.
