Recently revealed allegations against Jerry Sandusky have 'no value,' prosecutor says

Allegations that two Penn State assistant football coaches saw Jerry Sandusky have inappropriate sexual contact with children in the late 1980s are not only unreliable but of "no value," a prosecutor in Pennsylvania told The Associated Press.

The alleged contact would've been more than 20 years before Sandusky's arrest and conviction on dozens of child sex assault charges.

''The reports turned out to be double and triple hearsay and of no value, with the coaches in question each denying they saw anything,'' state Solicitor General Bruce Castor said.
