Jerry Sandusky granted new evidentiary hearing after accuser recants testimony in child abuse case

Disgraced Penn State defensive coordinator and convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky is scheduled to return to court next month for a new evidentiary hearing after one of his accusers recanted his allegations, more than a year after the initial claim was made. The hearing comes as part of an ongoing appeal process in Sandusky's case, which saw him convicted of 45 counts of child sex abuse in 2012. The court has granted a new evidentiary hearing following the recent recantation by one of the accusers, whose testimony was previously used against Sandusky during his trial. This move indicates that the prosecution may seek to re-examine certain evidence or arguments as a result of the recanted testimony.
