Sandusky Witness Describes 1998 Shower Encounter BELLEFONTE, Pa. - A Penn State University policeman once told Jerry Sandusky, the former assistant football coach who has been charged with sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years, that he should not shower with young boys, according to testimony provided on the fourth day of Sandusky's trial. The testimony was provided by Ronald Schreffler, who, as a Penn State police investigator, spoke with Sandusky in 1998. Schreffler had received a report from the mother of an 11-year-old boy who said he had showered with Sandusky in a locker room on the Penn State campus. The boy, now 25, also testified Thursday, saying he met Sandusky at the former coach's Second Mile youth charity for children from troubled homes. The accuser said he felt uncomfortable being naked with Sandusky, who, he said, urged the boy to take a shower after a workout even though they had not sweated that much. "I remember seeing his chest hair and thinking, This is icky," he said, adding that Sandusky tickled him and described himself as the tickle monster. The accuser said he blacked out and did not remember what happened after Sandusky lifted him up to the shower head to wash the shampoo out of his hair. When he returned home later that day, he told his mother he had showered with Sandusky. The man, who now lives in Colorado and recently graduated from college, was the sixth alleged victim to testify against Sandusky. His mother's decision to alert the police prompted the earliest known investigation into Sandusky's behavior cited during the trial. As part of that investigation, Schreffler and another officer, in coordination with the Centre County district attorney, asked the mother to invite Sandusky to her home under the guise of arranging a meeting between the coach and the boy. While Schreffler and the other officer hid in nearby rooms, they heard Sandusky speak with the mother. Schreffler said he heard Sandusky say: "I wish I could ask for forgiveness, but I know I won't get it from you. I wish I were dead. Schreffler said he thought there was more to the accusations, but the district attorney at the time, Ray Gricar, decided not to press charges. "I felt there was something, but the D.A. didn't go with it," Shreffler said. Cross-examined by Sandusky's lawyer, Joseph Amendola, the accuser said that he had no recollection of sexual contact with Sandusky and that he continued to communicate with him for many years. The accuser said that he had breakfast with Sandusky in recent years, that he sent him a Father's Day card in 2009 and that he borrowed Sandusky's car for a day in 2011. After the police questioned him last year about the events, the man cut off contact with the former coach. A seventh alleged victim testified that he had sexual contact with Sandusky when he was a boy. He stayed at Sandusky's house about 50 times over three years. He, too, was persuaded to shower with Sandusky, who also gave him gifts like football tickets. The boy was later sent to a group home for delinquent children and was under foster care. He still resented Sandusky for abandoning him at that point. "I'm enraged, I'm hurt, because he forgot about me after I got sent away," the man said. He maybe could have found a way to get me out of there. Anthony Sassano, who has been an agent with the state attorney general's office for 12 years, took the stand Thursday afternoon and described items he found while searching Sandusky's home and personal files at Penn State. Sassano said that in his investigation he found a photo album at Sandusky's home with numerous pictures of a young man referred to as Victim 1. One showed the young man, with wet hair, being embraced by Sandusky alongside Sandusky's dog. Another showed the young man at a sporting event, and others showed him competing in track and field meets. Documents found at Sandusky's home showed names and addresses of Second Mile participants. Sandusky had apparently written stars, asterisks and other notes by the names of several alleged victims, Sassano said. Sassano also talked about items found in a Penn State storage room containing 18 to 20 cardboard boxes that belonged to Sandusky. Among them were several handwritten letters from Sandusky to an alleged victim identified as Brett. Among the things Sandusky wrote, Sassano said, were "I know I have made mistakes" and "I'm not good at hiding my feelings." The trial was initially expected to last three weeks, but it now appears it may continue for only two.
