Several former Penn State assistant coaches, including former Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano, were aware of incidents of child sexual abuse involving Jerry Sandusky, according to testimony released Tuesday in court documents unsealed in Philadelphia.
The documents, part of an insurance lawsuit stemming from allegations that Joe Paterno was aware of Sandusky’s abuse, raise additional questions about just how much former assistants knew about the program’s longtime defensive coordinator, who was convicted on 45 counts of child sexual abuse and sentenced to at least 30 years in prison in 2012.
The testimony comes from former assistant coach Mike McQueary, who said he witnessed Sandusky engaging in a sexual act with a minor in a Penn State shower in 2001, and raised the matter with former defensive coordinator Tom Bradley.
