STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — The wife of ex-Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky said Thursday that her husband is innocent of the child sex abuse allegations against him and that his accusers are making up their stories.
Dottie Sandusky's comments were the first she has made since her husband was arrested last month and accused of molesting boys he met through a charity he founded for troubled youth.
She released the statement through her husband's lawyer a day after a grand jury report said one alleged victim screamed in vain for her to help him while Sandusky attacked him in a basement bedroom.
Dottie Sandusky said she is devastated by the accusations and that no such incident occurred.
"I am so sad anyone would make such a terrible accusation which is absolutely untrue," she said. "We don't know why these young men have made these false accusations, but we want everyone to know they are untrue."
She added that she and her husband love children and have always tried to help and care for them, and would never do anything to hurt them.
Sandusky faces more than 50 charges stemming from what authorities say were assaults on 10 boys in his home, on Penn State property and elsewhere. He has maintained his innocence.

She sure is. This is so common with offending spouse's complete denial over many years. Very common. In fact, this entire case is text book (no pun intended)! And one can see total rationalization in Sandusky's eyes when he is interviewed. And a pet peeve is going on for me with all of the comments from his friends about him being a "big kid." He is a grown man and a sexual predator. How much has that persona projection thwarted his closest associates seeing what he was up to?
Actually, at trial with a DA and team with expertise with child sexual abuse (especially serial offenders), his interviews will be key evidence against him with expert witnesses. His lawyer is an idiot!
Thankfully, he is under house arrest and has to wear a GPS device- just like any other person with these kinds of charges.
