According to a report from CNN, the man said Paterno brushed him off.

The man, now 60, said he was a troubled 15-year-old kid living in State College, Pa., when Sandusky, then a 27-year-old, second-year linebackers coach, sexually abused him in a Penn State bathroom after he picked him up hitchhiking.
