The hearing will address Sandusky's post-sentencing motions. Sandusky maintains his innocence and is pursuing appeals.
He was convicted in Centre County court in June on 45 counts of child sexual abuse involving 10 boys. Authorities have said Sandusky molested victims inside university facilities, area hotels and inside his home.
