Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky still maintains innocence, wife stands by side
Sandusky, now 80, spoke out from Laurel Highlands State Correctional Institution in Pennsylvania, where he’s serving out his sentence on 45 counts of child sexual abuse , ranging from grooming to violent attacks. Jerry Sandusky said in a prison interview that his victims were “coached and led” to lie in their testimony.“I was accused of heinous crimes, which I’ve never committed. My wife was my only partner in sex and that was after marriage,” he added.
Sandusky says he feels the technique, which uses hypnosis to recover repressed memories, would not stand up in a courtroom today and that the original jury should have heard more testimony about it.“We now have evidence that there was repressed memory therapy, and we have an expert who’s willing to testify about how to analyze what happened,” he explained.
Sandusky’s wife, Dottie, who has stood by him for the past 12 years, insisted she would have left him if she thought he had abused children.
