A
19-year-old Pennsylvania man plans to sue former Penn State assistant
football coach Jerry Sandusky, alleging that Sandusky gave him whiskey
and sexually abused him in an office at the university’s football
building in 2004, the man’s lawyer said. The lawyer said the man was 12
years old when he was assaulted. The man, whose identity isn’t being
released because he was a minor at the time of the alleged assault, was
staying overnight at Sandusky’s Second Mile children’s charity, his
attorney said. Sandusky is charged with 40 counts of child sex abuse
over a period of 15 years. He admitted to showering with young boys but
has denied the abuse allegations. The new allegation comes from someone
who is not among the eight young men cited in the charges against
Sandusky. Sandusky is scheduled for a preliminary hearing next Tuesday,
during which his alleged victims are expected to testify.
