Possible 9th victim contacts police in Sandusky case
MONTOURSVILLE — A state police criminal investigator says another potential victim has contacted authorities in the child sexual abuse investigation of former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky.
Lt. David Young, who commands the criminal investigation section at the Montoursville-based station, said today the man, now an adult, contacted the department on Sunday after seeing media accounts of Sandusky’s arrest.
Young says investigators took a statement from him and forwarded it to the Rockview station.
The new victim is now in his 20s, and knew Sandusky from The Second Mile charity. He had never told his parents or authorities about the alleged incidents from about a decade ago.
Young isn’t releasing details about what the man claims occurred.
Also Penn State football coach Joe Paterno canceled his weekly news conference today amid the ex-coach’s sex scandal.
