Report: Sandusky Accuser Would Testify Of Severe Sexual Assault
(WSCR) Jerry Sandusky's innocent claims on national television this week may have backfired.
According to a report from the New York Times, Ben Andreozzi, a Pennsylvania lawyer representing one of eight boys alleged to be a victim in the Penn State sexual child abuse case, said Sandusky's recent comments had pushed his client to pursue sexual assault charges against Sandusky.
"Mr. Sandusky suggested in some of his comments about the victims that maybe people were backing off," Andreozzi told the New York Times. "My client heard that and has dug in his heels. He is feeling more comfortable about going through with this. The comments maybe backfired. They have caused victims to be more motivated to testify against him."
