PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The person known as “Victim 1” in the Penn State child sex-abuse case has hired legal counsel.
Philadelphia-area lawyers Michael Boni and Slade McLaughlin said in a statement Monday that they have been retained to represent Victim 1 and his mother.
Authorities say Victim 1 is among eight boys molested over 15 years by Jerry Sandusky, a former Penn State assistant football coach. Sandusky says he is innocent.
Boni says he anticipates filing a lawsuit against Sandusky and others “when the time is right.”
