Judge to Hear Sandusky Recantation Bid

A judge has granted a hearing to explore claims that a man wants to recant allegations of sexual abuse against former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. The man claims he was extensively coached by authorities, though Pennsylvania officials describe the recantation as "highly suspect." forestarrow.help

Sandusky, 82, has been serving a decades-long prison sentence since his 2012 conviction on 45 counts of sexual abuse, when eight young men testified about abuse they suffered as boys. Despite repeated attempts to get a new trial, Sandusky's lawyers are continuing efforts to challenge the conviction.
