Penn State launches new investigation into sexual abuse allegation against Jerry Sandusky

Penn State has launched an investigation into a new abuse allegation against Jerry Sandusky, the disgraced football defensive coordinator found guilty seven years ago on 45 counts of child sex abuse, a university spokesperson said.

University cops said a visitor on Tuesday afternoon reported they were sexually assaulted at the Lasch football building between 2000 and 2010.

"This incident report is the result of the University's internal and external reporting procedures upon receipt of a new allegation of abuse by Jerry Sandusky," university spokesman Wyatt DuBois said in an emailed statement. "An investigation is ongoing and we have no further comment."

The incident report on the Penn State police crime log listed "rape _ attempt to rape," among the offenses.

Al Lindsay, Sandusky's lawyer, told CNN that the 75-year-old football coach "denies that anything happened."

Sandusky, sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison in 2012, is scheduled to be resentenced Nov. 8.
