Jerry Sandusky voicemails to "Victim 2" released by lawyers who plan to sue Penn State [View all]

Source: CBS/AP

CBS/AP) A man who claims he was "Victim 2" - the boy assaulted in a Penn State shower by Jerry Sandusky - intends to sue the university for its "egregious and reckless conduct," his lawyers said Thursday.

The lawyers said in a statement they have gathered "overwhelming evidence" of the abuse, and they released recordings of two voicemails they say were from Sandusky last year, both saying "love you" to the victim.

The statement from the attorneys said Victim 2 suffered "extensive sexual abuse over many years both before and after the 2001 incident."


In the recording of a pair of voicemails released with the statement and posted online by the lawyers, a voice that purportedly is Sandusky's expresses his love and says he wants to express his feelings "up front."
