HARRISBURG, Pa. — Prosecutors asked Tuesday to have Jerry Sandusky kept indoors as part of his bail conditions, citing complaints that the former Penn State football assistant was seen outside and watching children in a schoolyard from the back porch of his home, where he remains under house arrest while awaiting trial on child-molestation charges.
The state attorney general’s office argued in a court filing that Sandusky’s bail conditions should be revised so he is not allowed outside except to seek medical treatment.
Prosecutors said they opposed Sandusky’s request to be allowed contact with his grandchildren as he awaits trial on 52 child-sex-abuse charges.
“Several individuals from the adjacent elementary school have expressed concerns for the safety of children at their school and the adjacent neighborhood,” prosecutors wrote. “Such concerns will only mushroom if defendant is permitted to roam at will outside his house.”
Sandusky’s lawyer, Joe Amendola, did not immediately respond to the latest prosecution filing.
