UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — A new lawsuit has been filed against Jerry Sandusky, Penn State University and The Second Mile by a man who claims Sandusky sexually abused him in 2008 and possibly in 2009.
Any abuse in 2009 would have occurred after Victim 1’s November 2008 accusation to Clinton County Youth and Children Services that later led to the investigation of Sandusky, a former Penn State football assistant coach. Victim 1 was the first person to come forward against Sandusky, and state officials who investigated him said they knew of no incidents of abuse that occurred during their probe, which lasted from March 2009 to November 2011.
The new lawsuit, however, indicates that abuse may have occurred even after Sandusky was notified of the investigation in November 2008.
The suit was filed late last month in Philadelphia County Common Pleas Court. The plaintiff, identified only as D.F., seeks compensatory and punitive damages from all parties of greater than $50,000.
According to the lawsuit, he met Sandusky in 2004 at a function of The Second Mile, an organization Sandusky ran for underprivileged youths. The plaintiff says he was 8 at the time and attended Second Mile functions until 2012.
