WJACTV.COM :: Prosecution in Sandusky Trial May Wrap up its Case by Friday

BELLEFONTE – WJACTV.com is reporting that testimony is set to resume in Jerry Sandusky’s fast-moving child-sex abuse trial, and the prosecution could wrap up its case by the end of the week.

Thursday will mark the fourth day of testimony. Jurors have already heard from five of the former Penn State assistant football coach’s alleged victims. Three more are expected to testify.

Authorities say they don’t know the identities of two other alleged victims.

The 68-year-old Sandusky has denied allegations of abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period, and his attorney has suggested the accusers have financial motives.

On Wednesday, a man who worked at Penn State testified said he witnessed Sandusky leaving a shower with a child. Later that night, he talked to his co-worker, who was a janitor at the time. The janitor told him that he’d seen Sandusky making a boy perform oral sex on him.

Also on Wednesday, a 23-year-old man being called Victim 5, testified that Sandusky exposed himself in a sauna they were sharing and grabbed his genitals in a shower shortly after. Speaking to jurors at the trial, Victim 5 said the alleged abuse took place in 2001, just before he turned 13.
