Jerry Sandusky, ex Penn State coach, arrested Wednesday morning from his home by Pennsylvania state police, on more charges of child sexual abuse.
Sandusky was already charged with 40 counts of children sexual abuse involving eight young boys within a 15-year span. He has denied being a pedophile. In interviews with NBC and The New York Times, he has said he showered and horsed around with boys but never sexually abused them. The new charges include four counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and two counts of unlawful contact with a minor. He also was charged with a count of indecent assault and two counts of endangering the welfare of children, all of these being felonies and could lead him to facing real time in prison. Most of these cases have a connection with his charity, The Second Mile.
"As in many of the other cases identified to date, the contact with Sandusky allegedly fit a pattern of `grooming' victims," Attorney General Linda Kelly said in a statement. "Beginning with outings to football games and gifts; they later included physical contact that escalated to sexual assaults."
