HARRISBURG, Pa.

Penn State says it settled with six more victims or accusers of Jerry Sandusky during the year that ended June 30, bringing the payout total to nearly $93 million.

The university’s audited financial statements, dated Oct. 30, show $33.2 million in new payments over claims related to the university’s retired longtime assistant football coach.

The report says more claims could be paid in the future, but provides no details.

The audit findings were reported Wednesday by WJAC-TV in Johnstown.

Penn State had said in October 2013 it had agreed to pay 26 people $59.7 million related to the Sandusky scandal.
