UCLA assistant Tom Bradley denies knowing of allegations of Sandusky's abuse before Penn State officials did

UCLA defensive coordinator Tom Bradley refuted testimony included in court documents unsealed Tuesday contending he knew about alleged incidents of sexual abuse involving former Penn State colleague Jerry Sandusky prior to their being reported to university administrators.

According to a statement released by Bradley’s attorney, Brett Senior, Bradley never witnessed improper behavior involving Sandusky or knew about alleged incidents of sexual abuse that occurred in the 1980s or ’90s. Sandusky was convicted in 2012 of assaulting 10 boys over a 15-year period and was sentenced to at least 30 years in prison.

“He has consistently testified as such,” Senior said of Bradley, who spent more than three decades at Penn State as a player, assistant coach and interim coach.
