- 8 years ago
A judge says insurers in litigation with Penn State claim a boy told coach Joe Paterno in 1976 that he had been molested by convicted former Nittany Lions assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, Pennlive.com reported Thursday.
The order by Philadelphia Judge Gary Glazer also cites separate reports in 1987 and 1988 of other unnamed assistant football coaches allegedly witnessing "inappropriate contact between Sandusky and unidentified children."
Sandusky is serving decades in prison for sexual abuse of 10 boys, for incidents that dated back to the 1990s.
