Sandusky's wife proclaims his innocence
Ex-Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky's wife, Dottie, denied child sexual abuse accusations against her husband.
In a statement, she also specifically denied an alleged victim's claim he knew she was home and futilely had screamed for help while being attacked by Sandusky in a basement bedroom where he was staying, CNN reported Friday.
She said she was "shocked and dismayed" by the claim.
The alleged victim described a "pattern of sexual assaults over a period of years," many in a basement bedroom of Sandusky's house, a grand jury presentment stated.
With her husband facing more than 50 charges linked to 10 alleged victims of sexual abuse, Dottie Sandusky said, "We don't know why these young men have made these false accusations, but we want everyone to know they are untrue."
Of children who visited the family's State College, Pa., home, she said, "We would never do anything to hurt them."
