STATE COLLEGE, Pa (Reuters) - The lawyer for the Penn State football coach charged with child sex abuse said in an interview on Monday the boy at the center of a 2002 incident detailed in the grand jury's report had been identified and said it never happened.
Jerry Sandusky, the former defensive coordinator for the Penn State Nittany Lions, was arrested more than a week ago on charges he sexually abused eight young boys over a 15-year period.
Speaking to sportscaster Bob Costas, Joe Amendola, who represents Sandusky, said "we anticipate we're going to have at least several of those kids come forward and say, 'This never happened.'"
Sandusky, in a telephone interview with Costas that aired at the same time, acknowledged he had horsed around and showered with children involved in the Second Mile charity he founded.

Not at all. What I’m questioning is the fact that of all the bad actors here, Paterno is the only one to have been fired outright. Nothing has been said whether Sandusky lost his emeritus status; Curley, Shultz, and McQuery are on paid leave while the investigation continues; Spanier is still a tenured professor. Sandusky was prevented by Paterno from getting the head coaching job in 98. Spanier has been trying for years to get rid of Paterno because JoePa got in the way of his LGBT friendly agenda. Curley and Schultz were both judged by the Grand Jury report as not being credible - Paterno was said to be cooperating and truthful. McQuery, well what is the locker room story today? If the trustees were going to get rid of anybody, they had a lot better choices than JoePa. Plot against Paterno - ESPN and Sports Illustrated have been leading the push to retire Paterno for years, and the Boston Herald reported an anonymous trustee saying the sudden firing of Paterno happened because of media pressure. Maybe my problem is I read too much trying to see all sides of the issue, and I thought a contrary opinion might be useful. On several other threads I posted links to some articles.
Real question is how much money changed hands.
