Councilwoman’s bill would prevent city workers convicted of child sex abuse from collecting pensions

Offended by the news that former PSU assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky is collecting a pension while he stands accused of child sexual abuse, Philadelphia Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown has introduced legislation to prevent the same from happening in the city.

KYW reports Brown, a former PSU student and recruiter, has a bill that would prevent city workers from collecting pensions and retirement benefits if accused of a sexual offense against a minor.

Sandusky is accused of sexually abusing boys he found through his Second Mile charity.
