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. Sandusky, who is currently 82 years old, has been serving a lengthy prison sentence since his conviction in 2012 for 45 counts of sexual abuse involving multiple victims.
The man, identified in court documents as R.R., stated in an affidavit filed by Sandusky's attorneys that he was influenced by authorities to affirm details of the abuse that he did not fully recall. R.R. claims that he was assured by authorities that it was common for trauma to affect memory and that he could safely confirm certain details.
The Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General has expressed skepticism regarding R.R.'s recantation, labeling it as 'highly suspect.' A court hearing to discuss these claims has been scheduled for September 8 in Centre County.
法官将听取前宾州州立大学教练杰瑞·桑杜斯基性虐待指控的撤回声明
法官已批准举行听证会，以探讨一名男子希望撤回对前宾州州立大学助理足球教练杰瑞·桑杜斯基的性虐待指控的声明。桑杜斯基目前82岁，自2012年因涉及多名受害者的45项性虐待罪而服刑。
在桑杜斯基律师提交的宣誓书中，名为R.R.的男子表示，他受到当局的影响，被指导确认他未能完全记住的虐待细节。R.R.声称，当局向他保证，创伤会影响记忆是很常见的，他可以安全地确认某些细节。
宾夕法尼亚州总检察长办公室对R.R.的撤回声明表示怀疑，称其“高度可疑”。讨论这些指控的法院听证会定于9月8日在中心县举行。
