6:04 pm
according to a new court order, there's allegations of abuse against the former assistant football coach dating back to 1976, 87, and 88. it's what happened after that in the '90s that may be revealing. the court order says there was abuse or molestation exclusion in the 1992-1999 insurance policies. what's that mean? well, between snooun and 1999 only the company was exempt from paying claims involving university employees, and penn state would be responsible. >> in 1992, for whatever reason, history or specific knowledge of whaf what was going on at the university, they wrote exclusions into their policies. >> reporter: mike o'neil, a civil attorney in center city is not involved in this lawsuit with state, but has litigated
6:05 pm
many insurance coverage cases. he explains it's to the unreasonable that an insurance company might have that kind of exclusion in its policies with schools, church, or other institutions, but the fact that this exclusion with penn state only lasted until 1999 raises questions. >> what's interesting and what the court notes is that in 1999, forward, this exclusion did not exist within the policies for penn state. it also coincides with mr. sandusky leaving the employee of penn state university. the judge et writes it is interesting, although a coincidence that the abuse or molestation exclusion ceased to be employed in the company policies the same year that sandusky retired from psu. now, again, we'd be guessing why it happened, but it certainly, as court noted, interesting that from 1999 forward they stopped using the exclusion within their
6:06 pm
policies. >> reporter: i did reach out to the insurance company covering penn state. they did not want to comment. if the lawsuit proceeds to trial, we may learn more if that insurance exemption is common and why in this case it ended after sandusky retired. this afternoon, the penn state board of trustees read a letter from joe paterno's wife. >> the seriousness of the matter demands we all incyst on facts and due process. we have no knowledge of the allegation released yesterday, no party has shared any information with us, and yet it is now taken by many as a confirmed fact. >> and joe's son tweeted out a message this morning, quote, it would be great if everyone waited to see the substance of the allegation before they assume it's true because it's not, end quote. it's been more than 24 hours
