First Accuser Describes Sandusky Claims in Detail The first witness to take the stand against former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky said he regretted having kept the alleged sexual abuse a secret, and feels guilty because of the other boys that prosecutors say were victimized after him. Called Victim 4 in court papers but identified by his name in court, he told jurors Monday that the 68-year-old Sandusky molested him in the locker room showers and in hotels while trying to ensure his silence with gifts and trips. He was the first of as many as eight young men who may take the stand. The 28-year-old says Sandusky sent him "creepy love letters" and treated him like a son in public, but like a girlfriend in private. "I've spent, you know, so many years burying this in the back of my head forever," he told the jury. I thought I was the only person ... then I find out that this has happened over and over and over again, forever, and I feel if I just would have said something back then, they would not have had this happen to them. So I feel responsible for ... other victims. Victim 4 discussed notes from Sandusky as well as a series of contract-like documents in which he promised to reach certain life goals, such as studying or playing sports, in return for which Sandusky would provide him money for his post high school education. Former Penn State University assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky arrives at the Centre County Courthouse for opening statements in his trial on 52 counts of child sexual abuse involving 10 boys over a period of 15 years in Bellefonte, Pa., Monday, June 11, 2012. He left nothing to the imagination as he told the jury about the abuse he said he endured for five years beginning when he was a teenager in the late 1990s. Sandusky faces 52 counts that he sexually abused 10 boys over 15 years, allegations he denies. He could spend the rest of his life in state prison if convicted. His arrest last year shamed the university and led to the ouster of beloved Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno and Penn State's president. Testimony is expected to continue Tuesday with so-called Victim 1, a young man whose mother contacted authorities about Sandusky four years ago, starting the investigation that eventually led to charges. But in opening statements to the seven woman, five man jury on Monday, lead prosecutor Joe McGettigan described Sandusky as a "serial predator" and noted there were several missed chances for authorities to intervene before Sandusky was eventually arrested. McGettigan said Sandusky methodically used his youth charity, The Second Mile, to zero in on fatherless children or those with unstable home lives, plied them with gifts and took advantage of them sexually. Sandusky lawyer Joe Amendola countered that the case is flimsy and that some of the accusers apparently intend to sue and have a financial stake in the case - a preview of the battle to come as the defense tries to undermine the credibility of the young men upon whom the case rests. Until Monday, none of them had testified publicly, and their identities were shielded. The Associated Press typically doesn't identify people who say they are victims of sex crimes. Amendola said Sandusky family members would testify, and at one point suggested Sandusky himself might take the stand. Victim 4 spoke calmly and firmly under questioning by the prosecutor, and acknowledged he had at first lied to police and even his own attorney about the alleged abuse. "I don't even want to be involved now, to be honest," he said. In public, he said, Sandusky would assume a fatherlike role and image, but in private it was a different story.
