A significant development has emerged in the long-running case of former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. One of the men who testified against the 82-year-old at trial is now preparing to recant his testimony. As a result, an evidentiary hearing has been scheduled for September 8 in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania.
According to The New York Post, Sandusky was convicted on 45 counts of sexual abuse in 2012 and is serving a 30-to 60-year prison sentence. In an interview from a Pennsylvania state prison about his case, he told 6 ABC, “This is the worst experience of my life.” He further insisted, “I am an innocent man, and I have been convicted by so many people with their own personal agendas, and this was an opportunity to take advantage of a tremendous personal gain.”
