Jeffrey Sandusky, an adopted son of former Pennsylvania State
defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, was arrested Monday and charged with
sexually assaulting a child.
Police began an
investigation in November 2016 after a child claims to have received text
messages from Sandusky, asking for naked photographs.
According to State Police,
Sandusky was dating the child’s mother and had lived in the residence for about
five years. The explicit text messages were shared with the child’s father, who
then notified police.
Jeffrey Sandusky is one of the six adopted
children of Jerry and Dottie Sandusky. Jerry Sandusky is currently serving a
30-60-year sentence after being found guilty on 45 counts of child sex abuse
back in June 2012. One of the six children, Matt, claimed he was abused by
Jerry.
Sandusky was a longtime defensive
assistant at Penn State, where he played defensive end. Sandusky began his
tenure on the PSU coaching staff in 1969 and was promoted to defensive
coordinator in 1977. He stayed in that role until 1999, when he retired to
focus on his work with The Second Mile, his non-profit organization for at-risk
youth.
