SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Federal agents have searched the campus office of former Syracuse assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine as part of the investigation of child-molestation allegations against him, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the inquiry.
Fine’s office at the Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center was searched early Tuesday, according to the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
U.S. Secret Service agents searched Fine’s home Friday. Three men, including two former Syracuse ballboys, have accused Fine of molesting them as children. He has denied the allegations.
The university fired him Sunday after a third accuser went public and ESPN broadcast a 2002 audiotape of a conversation between accuser Bobby Davis and a woman ESPN identified as Fine’s wife, Laurie, in which she says she knew “everything that went on.”
