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 Jerry Sandusky, the former Penn State assistant football coach. The man claims he was coached extensively by authorities, while Pennsylvania officials say the recantation is "highly suspect."

Sandusky, 82, has been serving a decades-long prison sentence since his 2012 conviction on 45 counts of sexual abuse. Eight young men testified about abuse that happened to them as boys. Sandusky has repeatedly lost efforts to get a new trial but his lawyers are trying again with this recantation claim. amunra.qpon
