WJAC-TV says the Game Commission cited McQueary for using corn to attract deer to a tree stand while archery hunting in Centre County.

McQueary was cited days after a jury awarded him $7.3 million in a defamation case against the university. He testified he saw Sandusky sexually abuse a boy in a team shower 15 years ago and reported it to university officials. He said he was made to look like a liar.

Sandusky was convicted but maintains he's innocent.
