Former Penn State University assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, center, is taken from the Centre County Courthouse by Centre County Sheriff Denny Nau, left, and a deputy, after being sentenced in Bellefonte, Pa., Tuesday, Oct. 9, 2012. Sandusky was sentenced to at least 30 years in prison, effectively a life sentence, in the child sexual abuse scandal that brought shame to Penn State and led to coach Joe Paterno’s downfall.

Pennsylvania's public employee pension system has moved to revoke Jerry Sandusky's pension after his conviction and sentence in the child sexual abuse scandal.

The State Employees' Retirement System notified Sandusky by letter Wednesday that his crimes triggered forfeiture of his pension. The former Penn State assistant football coach was sentenced Tuesday to at least 30 years in prison for molesting 10 boys.

Sandusky's lawyer said ahead of the notification that Sandusky would fight any attempt to revoke his pension.
