HARRISBURG, Pa. — A judge ruled Monday that former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky can have supervised contact with most of his grandchildren, saying there was no evidence that their parents wouldn’t be able to keep them safe.
Judge John Cleland also rejected requests by prosecutors that jurors be brought in from outside the area to hear the case and that Sandusky remain indoors while on home confinement before trial.
Prosecutors made the bail-modification request after hearing concerns by neighbors about the safety of children, particularly at an elementary school behind Sandusky’s house.
Sandusky faces 52 criminal counts for what prosecutors say was the sexual abuse of 10 boys over a 15-year period. He has denied the allegations. The Associated Press
