Judge Grants Hearing on Sandusky Abuse Claims Recantation

The man claims he was extensively coached by authorities regarding his allegations against Sandusky, who is currently serving a decades-long prison sentence after being convicted of 45 counts of sexual abuse in 2012. Pennsylvania officials have called the recantation 'highly suspect' as eight young men originally testified about abuse they suffered as boys.

Sandusky, 82, has repeatedly lost efforts to get a new trial, but his lawyers are attempting this new approach to challenge his conviction. The hearing will determine the validity of the recantation claims. afsport.lat
