Penn State football coach Joe Paterno may give testimony in the federal lawsuit filed by former player Austin Scott who was falsely charged with rape in 2007.
Scott says the case damaged his chances of a career in the NFL.
The case was dropped in 2008 after a judge ruled to allow evidence that his accuser made similar assault allegations against a Moravian College student whom a jury acquitted.
Scott is suing university police, prosecutors and his accuser, whose name has still not been used by the papers covering the matter.
