The U.S. attorney's office in Harrisburg said Wednesday that 42-year-old Karl Rominger is charged with attempted tax evasion and failure to file a federal tax return.

Prosecutors say charges against the former attorney from Carlisle cover 2006 to 2012.

He signed a plea agreement last month that's pending before the judge.

Rominger also awaits sentencing in August after pleading guilty in Cumberland County in May to stealing $767,000 in client funds.

Prosecutors say he spent the money on gambling and other interests.

Rominger's lawyer says his client is in treatment for compulsive gambling and has a realistic restitution plan.

Sandusky is appealing a 45-count conviction.
