from www.nbcphiladelphia.com – In the latest twist to the Jerry Sandusky alleged child sex scandal, it appears that one of the two new sexual abuse allegations we told you about yesterday was made by a family member of the former Penn State football coach.

Sandusky’s attorney Joe Amendola told Sara Ganim of The Patriot-News that the allegations stem from difficulties within the child’s immediate family. He said “the assault is alleged to have occurred prior to Sandusky’s arrest earlier this month, but was not brought to the authorities attention until after the former Penn State coach was charged. The Patriot-News is withholding the child’s relationship to Sandusky to shield the child’s identity.”

This and the other new allegation are being investigated by the state’s Children and Youth Services, which means the accusations are coming not from adults, but from children. Right now, there are eight other alleged cases mentioned in the Grand Jury report. A ninth person reportedly came forward with allegations after Sandusky’s arrest on November 5. In each of those cases, the alleged victims are now adults.
