An unidentified man filed a lawsuit against Jerry Sandusky Wednesday, accusing the former Penn State assistant football coach of sexually abusing him “over 100 times” as a boy. The lawsuit, the first to be filed against Sandusky since he and Penn State University were engulfed in a major sex abuse scandal, named the former football coach, the university and The Second Mile, a charity founded by Sandusky, as defendants. The 29-year-old plaintiff, identified only as “John Doe A,” made the new accusations against Sandusky in a handwritten note accompanying the lawsuit. He became the ninth person to accuse Sandusky of abuse. In his lawsuit, the unidentified man said the alleged abuse took place from 1992 to 1996 “in the facilities of Penn State, particularly the football coach's locker room, at times within Philadelphia County, at facilities out of state connected with a Penn State bowl game and at the Sandusky home.” Sandusky “recruited, groomed and coerced plaintiff, showering him with gifts, travel and privileges,” according to the lawsuit, which legal experts said may trigger a cascade of other lawsuits and new accusations by other alleged victims. The new accuser is speaking with law enforcement.
