Now that a settlement has cleared the way for $60 million from Penn State to be spent in Pennsylvania to address child sexual abuse, potential recipients are starting to think about how that money might be put to use. ''There's certainly a tremendous need,'' said Linda Rosenberg, executive director of the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency. ''In the area of child sexual abuse, I don't know if there's ever enough money to help support the need.'' The Jan. 16 deal that ended litigation by two state officials against Penn State and the NCAA split up the money, with $12 million being retained by the university and $48 million going to Rosenberg's agency. Penn State agreed to the $60 million fine in 2012, as part of a consent decree with the NCAA over the university's handling of the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal.
