Yet another person has stepped forward to accuse disgraced former Penn State Coach Jerry Sandusky of child abuse.  An unidentified teenager said he was raped as a 12 year old in 2004 at Sandusky’s on-campus charity camp, two years after the football coach was forced to surrender his campus keys.  Read more after the jump.

The teen’s lawyer alleges that Sandusky persuaded the boy into an office, loaded him with alcohol, and began to rape him.

The man, now 19, was attending the summer program of Sandusky’s charity, Second Mile, FoxNews.com reports.

The teen’s lawyer, Charles Schmidt, alleges that he was lured into Sandusky’s office in Penn State’s Lasch football building.

After he was done sodomising the boy, Sandusky gave him some Penn State football memorabilia and handed him off to a camp counsellor, Mr Schmidt said.

Mr Schmidt alleges that the former Penn State coach began eyeing the boy after a routine summer camp question and answer gathering that quizzed campers on various trivia questions.

The boy answered correctly and won a prize.

At the end of the trivia session, the boy answered a question correctly about a U.S. president’s quote. Sandusky said he was out of prizes and told the boy to come to his office, Mr Schmidt said.

‘[Sandusky] pulled out a glass with alcohol in it and told him to drink it. Then he sodomized him,’ he told FoxNews.com.

 ‘Jerry was using Penn State facilities right up until the week before charges were filed. It’s obvious Penn State didn’t consider him dangerous. In fact, he wasn’t.’

-Jerry Sandusky’s attorney Joe Amendola

 

He said the university was lax where Sandusky was concerned, not monitoring his actions after his keys to his office building were supposedly taken away in 2002.

Sandusky’s attorney Joe Amendola said that his client wasn’t banned from using the facilities until November 2011, he told FoxNews.com.

‘Jerry was using Penn State facilities right up until the week before charges were filed.

‘It’s obvious Penn State didn’t consider him dangerous. In fact, he wasn’t.’

Mr Amendola’s co-counsel Karl Rominger told the news organisation that the allegation doesn’t make sense.

‘In the history of sex crimes, you see grooming behaviour – you don’t pick a kid out of a crowd and assault him one time all of a sudden.’

He said that now the case has garnered intense national attention, ‘people are coming forward suddenly remembering things.’ 

Mr Rominger said because of that, ‘you have to question their motivation. Everyone knows about how much money’s involved here.’

Sandusky faces trial over 50 counts of child sex-abuse involving ten boys he met through the children’s charity he founded.
