Ex-Sandusky lawyer Karl Rominger gets federal prison time for tax evasion

Former high-profile attorney Karl Rominger of Carlisle will now serve an additional 20 months in prison on federal tax evasion charges on top of the 5-and-a-half to 18 years he is serving for stealing more than $767,000 from clients.

Rominger, 43, shackled and clad in a rumpled orange prison jumpsuit, was sentenced in federal court Tuesday morning after pleading guilty in July to tax evasion and failing to file tax returns.

Judge Sylvia Rambo ordered Rominger, a former member of Jerry Sandusky's defense team, to pay restitution of $317,602 to the IRS, with interest waived. He will also be on supervision for two years after his release.
