PROSECUTORS claim former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky sexually abused boys ranging in age from 8 to 17, eight of whom were molested on the school's campus, according to a document with new details about the case filed yesterday.
The Pennsylvania attorney general's office said in the document that crimes involving one of the 10 alleged victims took place in Florida and Texas, while another boy was abused at his own school.
Prosecutors were more specific in the document about the ages of the boys than in earlier reports, but much of the information is similar to details revealed in grand jury presentments issued last year that formed the basis for charges against Sandusky.
Sandusky, 68, is confined to his home while he awaits trial on 52 criminal counts. He denies the allegations, and his lawyer did not immediately reply to a message seeking comment Thursday.
The latest court filing states that two of the boys, identified as Victim 2 and Victim 8, remain unidentified to authorities.
The allegations involving Victim 2 are perhaps the most well known in the case. He was described by a grand jury report as a boy, about 10 years old, seen by a graduate assistant inside a football team shower with Sandusky in 2002. Prosecutors say the assistant, Mike McQueary, reported the incident to coach Joe Paterno and two university administrators, but police were never notified.
