Disgraced former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky has now been accused of participating in a child prostitution ring in the late 1970s.

Greg Bucceroni came forward as a former child prostitute from 1977-1980 and detailed in an email and podcast his meeting Sandusky in the summer of 1979. He was introduced to the coach by a prominent Philadelphia business man, Ed Savitz, who is now deceased from AIDS.

“When I meet Sandusky … I’m reading his body language but nothing’s coming back as a pedophile,” said Bucceroni in a podcast. While Bucceroni did not actually engage in sexual activity with Sandusky, the New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania ring included a professor from the Wharton School of Business and Brooklyn Poly Prep coach Phil Foglietta.

Sandusky has been convicted of 45 counts of sexual abuse and is expected to be sentenced October 9.
