BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) The lead prosecutor called Jerry Sandusky a serial predator in opening statements Monday, while a defense lawyer said the young men accusing the former Penn State assistant football coach of sexual abuse had a financial interest in the outcome.
Senior Deputy Attorney General Joseph McGettigan III opened Sandusky’s highly anticipated trial Monday by telling jurors that the 68-year-old retired coach was a pedophile who took advantage of fatherless children or those with unstable home lives and sexually abused them for years.
