Penn State University is still feeling the effects of the Jerry Sandusky pedophilia scandal that emerged in 2011.

In the latest development, seven men have reached settlements with Penn State stemming from claims of abuse by former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. Sandusky is serving a life sentence in prison for child sexual abuse in a traumatizing scandal that has cost the university an estimated $50 million.

The recent settlements included one by Sandusky's adopted son, Matt Sandusky, who told investigators that his father abused him. He has since vowed to change his name. His lawyer, Matt Casey, also represents "Victim 2," who also reached a settlement with the University according to the Associated Press.

"To say they're relieved, I think, is a fair statement," Casey said. "But it's also accurate to say that while we've closed this chapter, there's a whole lot of this that's necessarily inadequate."

"Vicitim 2" is the boy that former graduate assistant Mike McQueary said he saw being abused by the elder Sandusky on Penn State premises in 2001. McQueary then told head coach Joe Paterno and other school officials, but police were never called. That spark started a wildfire of a scandal that led to Paterno's eventual firing.

Sandusky coached the Penn State football team for three decades, serving as the team's Defensive Coordinator. He founded and operated the Second Mile, a now-defunct nonprofit charity organization for at-risk children founded in 1977. It was said that Sandusky met all of his victims through the charity, which eventually shut down once the allegations surfaced.

Sandusky is appealing his conviction and will have an appeals hearing next month.
