Hearing set in newest Sandusky sex assault case

The man who came forward last month and claimed Jerry Sandusky sexually assaulted him in the late 1980s will have a day in court later this year.

The Centre Daily Times is reporting that Anthony Spinelli Jr., now in his 40s, is appealing a ruling by the state attorney general’s office, which denied a private criminal complaint brought by Mr. Spinelli against the former Penn State University assistant football coach. On Thursday, President Judge Thomas King Kistler scheduled a hearing on the matter for Oct. 22 in Bellefonte, Centre County.

Mr. Spinelli came forward in early June and alleged that Sandusky sexually assaulted him at a football camp in 1988, when he was 16 years old.
