Victims in the Jerry Sandusky sexual harassment case will receive a total of $60 million in settlements.

Penn State University reached the tentative settlements so far with the men who claim to have been sexually abused by coach Jerry Sandusky.

Ted Brown, a trustee in the case, told the AP that the settlement has been approved. "We approved settlements for approximately $60 million," he said.

However, he said that the $60 million figure does not cover every claim and that he is not sure how many claims have been settled or remain in negotiations.

Members of a committee have been voted by trustees last Friday to approve settlements on Penn State University's behalf. The settlements will be approved without the disclosing detail such as how many people came forward with the claim and how many cases have been settled with how much money so far.

AP reports that an anonymous source said about 25 out of 31 claims are covered by the $60 million figure.

As many as 32 victims reportedly came forward to allege that they were victims of Sandusky's abuse, but only a handful of them have filed lawsuits.

The fallen football coach was convicted last summer of 45 counts of sexual abuse for abusing ten boys between 1994 and 2009. Eight victims testified against him in a three-week trial. He is serving a 30 to 60 years in state prison.
