PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The man who filed the first sex-abuse lawsuit against ex-Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky says he feels tormented after learning others were allegedly abused after him.
The 29-year-old writes in a statement: “I am hurting and have been for a long time because of what happened, but feel now even more tormented that I have learned of so many other kids.”
His lawyer read the statement as he announced the lawsuit, which accuses Sandusky of sexually abusing the man more than 100 times beginning when he was 10 years old.
The plaintiff is not among eight victims mentioned in a grand jury report. Sandusky is charged with sexually abusing those boys over a 15-year period. He acknowledges he showered with boys but denies molesting them.
