A judge said insurers in litigation with Penn State claim a boy told football coach Joe Paterno in 1976 he had been molested by assistant Jerry Sandusky. Pennlive.com reported that the court order by Philadelphia Judge Gary Glazer also cites reports by unnamed assistant coaches that they witnessed inappropriate contact between Sandusky and children. Sandusky is serving decades in prison for sexual abuse of boys, the earliest incident in 1998. A Paterno family spokesman told Pennlive.com there’s no evidence to corroborate the new disclosure and that Paterno never covered up Sandusky’s actions. Sandusky was granted a May 20 hearing to prove his claims that prosecutors lied, withheld evidence, and leaked secret grand jury information to find additional victims in his effort to have charges dismissed or get a new trial . . . Texas A&M assistant coach Aaron Moorehead apologized for a series of tweets about loyalty and accountability he posted soon after a highly touted quarterback recruit announced he was breaking his verbal commitment to the Aggies. A few minutes after Tate Martell from Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas tweeted Wednesday night he was reopening his recruitment, Moorehead posted, “I feel sorry for ppl who never understand loyalty.’’
