Sandusky trial evokes suspicion of cover-up
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}June 14, 2012: Former Penn State University assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky arrives for the fourth day of his trial at the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte, Pa. ( )
The testimony in Jerry Sandusky's child-molestation trial has been disturbing not only for its graphic descriptions of sex with boys, but for what it says about the people who surrounded the once-revered Penn State assistant coach.
Eight accusers have described how Sandusky molested them in campus showers, hotel bathrooms and a basement bedroom -- right under the noses of his friends, colleagues, family members and acquaintances.
Prosecutors have hinted that top university officials knew far more about Sandusky's alleged proclivities than they have let on, and a Penn State trustee tells The Associated Press he now suspects a cover-up.

The trial resumes Monday.
