"Child Pedophiles Of The Universe"...

CNN) -- New court documents filed by attorneys for Jerry Sandusky, the former Penn State assistant football coach embroiled in a child sex abuse scandal, suggests that there are at least 17 accusers, a far higher number of alleged victims than the 10 detailed in the charges. In the motion filed Thursday, defense attorney Joe Amendola requested additional information be disclosed by the court, including details about "all possible accusers who have been identified as Nos. 11 through 17 as well as those whose identification are numbered from 18 and beyond." The 110-page filing did not identify the alleged accusers and the original 10 were not identified publicly. Amendola had requested more details about the additional accusers. Sandusky, 68, faces more than 50 counts involving sexual acts with 10 boys dating back to 1994. Prosecutors allege he met some of his accusers through Second Mile, a charity he created for underprivileged children. He has pleaded not guilty. The allegations against Sandusky led to the firing of Penn State's heralded head football coach Joe Paterno only months before he died of complications from lung cancer. Former university officials Tim Curley and Gary Schultz are charged with perjury and failure to report a crime in relation to the investigation.
