Dottie Sandusky walked out of a State Employees Retirement System (SERS) pension hearing in Harrisburg at 1:15 Tuesday afternoon.

As published by AP:

"The State Employees' Retirement System (SERS) ruled that his convictions for involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and indecent assault fell under Pennsylvania's Public Employee Pension Forfeiture Act. Sandusky had opted to participate in the state-sponsored retirement system while at Penn State, which is a "state-related" university, but he was not a state employee."

"At the heart of the dispute is whether Sandusky's ties to the university after his retirement, including some payments, made him a 'de facto Penn State employee while committing the crimes in question."
