State police: Man comes forward, claims to be victim of Jerry Sandusky
Another male has come forward to claim he was a victim of alleged sexual abuse by former Penn State defensive coach Jerry Sandusky at the university?s football facilities.
The individual, now in his 20s and living in Lycoming County, contacted state police at Montoursville Sunday after learning about the charges against Sandusky, said Lt. David Young, commander of the criminal investigation section at Troop F Montoursville.
Sandusky has been charged with sexually abusing eight boys over 15 years.
The man had remained silent about the alleged incidents that occurred in the early 2000s, not telling his parents or authorities, Young said. The man alleged acts similar to those alleged against Sandusky in the statewide grand jury presentment, but Young declined to provide specifics.
At the time, the individual was involved in The Second Mile children's charity founded by Sandusky, Young said.
Information the man provided investigators has been sent to state police at Rockview because the alleged incidents occurred in Centre County, he said.
Pennsylvania Attorney General Linda Kelly has asked that anyone with information on the Sandusky case or who alleges abuse call the Office of Attorney General at 814-863-1053 or Pennsylvania State Police at 814-470-2238.
