HARRISBURG, Pa. -- A judge on Wednesday ordered prosecutors to take another look at a man's allegations that former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky molested him as a teenager.
Centre County Judge Thomas Kistler said the statute of limitations has not expired on filing criminal charges in the case. He told the attorney general's office to evaluate whether the allegations meet a minimum standard for filing them.
"Obviously, we're very excited," said attorney Dan Kiss, who represents the Massachusetts man, now 43, who initiated a private criminal complaint against Sandusky a year ago. The attorney general's office had said too much time had elapsed to pursue the case, but after a brief hearing last week, Kistler overruled that determination.
