"He played two roles, that of father and that of molester," attorney Ben Andreozzi said of Sandusky.
"He viewed him almost as a family member, that is in part why it was so difficult at first for him to come forward," Andreozzi said.
His client, now 27, met Sandusky in the early 1990s at The Second Mile, a charity founded by Sandusky for troubled youth. He developed a rapport with him and was generous to the boy - buying him gifts and bringing him places.

Sandusky allegedly molested him on the Penn State campus, according to Andreozzi.
Andreozzi is representing at least two alleged victims in the molestation case which has grown to at least 11 more young men who have told authorities that they were sexually abused by Sandusky.

The attorney is in the process of creating a support network for the families of the Sandusky victims.
"It will be a way for them to comfort each other,'' Andreozzi said. "They share the same grief and trauma."
