SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — A law enforcement official familiar with the child sex abuse investigation of fired Syracuse University assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine says federal agents have searched one coach’s locker at the university’s basketball center.

U.S. Secret Service agents searched the locker Wednesday.

The official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because it’s an ongoing investigation, says only one locker was searched.

Agents searched Fine’s office Tuesday and his home last Friday.

Three men, including two former ballboys for the team, say Fine molested them as minors.

Fine has denied the allegations.
