CARLISLE, Pa. (AP) — One of Jerry Sandusky’s former attorneys at his child sex abuse trial is being charged with stealing more than a half-million dollars from clients and spending the money on casino gambling and other personal interests.
Cumberland County detectives filed 25 charges of theft and misappropriation of funds against Karl Rominger.
Investigators say the 41-year-old Rominger stole $535,000 from three clients — an auto-accident victim, a spouse in a divorce case and the survivors of a woman whose estate Rominger represented.
Rominger apologized and promised restitution. He says he hasn’t gambled since March.
Authorities say their investigation remains open.
Sandusky, a former Penn State assistant football coach, was convicted of sexually abusing 10 boys. He is serving a 30- to 60-year prison term.
