已服刑超过十年的前宾州州立大学助理足球教练杰里·桑达斯基的律师要求推迟定于9月8日举行的听证会1。该听证会涉及控方证人R.R.欲翻证对桑达斯基的性虐待指控1。桑达斯基现年82岁，2012年因45项性虐待罪名被判有罪，当时有8名男性作证1。
辩护方声称R.R.在侦查过程中遭到引导和强压1。R.R.在法庭宣誓书中指出："我被直接和间接地告知创伤可能导致记忆碎片化，我可以安心确认我不完全回忆的细节"1。宾州司法部认为此翻证"高度可疑"1。根据起诉材料，R.R.控称桑达斯基在1998年他11岁时、当其处于寄养家庭期间在地下室性虐待了他1。
此案影响深远，宾州州立大学因此向自称遭桑达斯基虐待的人支付了超过1亿美元的赔偿1。
Attorneys for Jerry Sandusky, the former Penn State assistant football coach serving a prison sentence for over a decade, have requested a postponement of a hearing originally scheduled for September 8 that would address an accuser's attempt to recant sexual abuse allegations against him 1. The 82-year-old defendant was convicted in 2012 on 45 counts of sexual abuse, with eight male victims testifying during his trial 1.
The hearing concerns accuser R.R., who has submitted an affidavit claiming he was "directly and indirectly told that trauma could cause fragmented memories" and that he could "comfortably confirm details I did not fully recall" 1. According to the accuser's original allegations, Sandusky sexually abused him in a basement in 1998 when he was 11 years old and living in foster care 1. Sandusky's legal team contends that R.R. was subjected to leading and coercive questioning during investigation, while Pennsylvania's Department of Justice has characterized the recantation as "highly suspicious" 1.
The case has already resulted in substantial financial consequences, with Penn State University paying over $100 million in settlements to individuals who claimed to have been victimized by Sandusky 1.
