Exclusive Video: Sandusky Interview With The Times
The former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, in his first extended interview since he was indicted on sexual abuse charges last month, said Coach Joe Paterno never spoke to him about any suspected misconduct with minors. Sandusky also said the charity he worked for never restricted his access to children until he became the subject of a criminal investigation in 2008.
The failure by Paterno to have acted more aggressively after being told in 2002 that Sandusky had molested a 10-year-old boy in the showers of the university's football building played a role in the head coach's firing last month after 62 years at Penn State. Sandusky, in the interview, said that Paterno did not speak to or confront him about the incident.
Sandusky, in a nearly four-hour interview over two days this week, insisted he had never sexually abused any child, but he confirmed details of some of the events that prosecutors have cited in charging him with 40 counts of molesting young boys.
