Judge Denies Sandusky Bid for Information on Alleged Victims

Judge rules that Sandusky's defense request for more information regarding when and where the alleged crimes occurred is moot

The judge in former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky's child sexual abuse case says a defense request for more information regarding when and where the alleged crimes occurred is moot because prosecutors can't produce additional detail.

Judge John Cleland's order Tuesday came a day after the two sides debated the issue before him in a central Pennsylvania courtroom.

Sandusky's lawyer Joe Amendola says in response that he'll file a motion next week to dismiss all charges “for lack of specificity.” A message seeking reaction from the attorney general's office wasn't immediately returned.

The 68-year-old Sandusky is accused of sexual abuse of 10 boys over 15 years, allegations he denies. He is confined to his home while he awaits a mid-May start of trial.
