Jerry Sandusky Wrote ‘Creepy’ Love Letters To Victims, ABC News Reports
Jerry Sandusky Wrote ‘Creepy’ Love Letters To Victims, ABC News Reports

Former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky — who is facing charges of child molestation — allegedly wrote “creepy” love letters to his victims, ABC News reports. Eight of whom will be testifying against him in his trial.
Love letters reportedly “written from Sandusky to the accuser, known as Victim 4, will be read into testimony after the trial begins on Monday.” Apparently in Sandusky’s own handwriting, the letters are said to corroborate with Victim 4?s testimony. The report says the victim’s attorney, Ben Andreozzi, isn’t talking about the letter — but described them as “creepy,” and that one “includes a lewd title and is a love story between a boy and a man.”
“They have evidence to support his allegations, and there’s other evidence that has not been released to the public yet that I think will really resonate with the jury,” Andreozzi said. Victim 4 was one of five victims who “petitioned Judge John Cleland to keep their identities anonymous during the trial, continuing a practice put in place by the state attorney general’s office to protect their identities during the investigation. But Cleland denied their request, saying that all of the victims who were willing to testify must be willing to be revealed to the public.”
The news comes on the first day of jury selection in the trial, which is set to begin on Monday. Sandusky faces 52 counts of child molestation charges.
