Sandusky judge: AG must turn over accuser contacts

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The judge in Jerry Sandusky’s child sex abuse case says Pennsylvania prosecutors have to give the defense the phone numbers and addresses of the accusers.

Judge John Cleland’s order today could also lead to the prosecution’s turning over any psychological evaluations performed on the accusers.

The judge is requiring prosecutors to disclose any juvenile adjudication records that might help Sandusky’s lawyer attack their credibility. That doesn’t apply to drug or alcohol violations.

The order also requires requests for grand jury information to first be made to the judge who oversees the secret panel.

A spokesman for the attorney general’s office isn’t commenting on the latest filing.

The former Penn State assistant coach denies charges he sexually abused 10 boys over 15 years. Trial is set for mid-May.
