A 67-year-old former football coach at one of the US.'s leading academic and sporting universities in the northeastern state of Pennsylvania has been arrested on allegations of serial child abuse.
Assistant coach Jerry Sandusky helped coach Penn State's football team for more than 30 years.
He also ran a charity helping disadvantaged teenaged boys.
But now he's turned himself into the authorities having been charged with 40 counts of child abuse.
His lawyer Joe Amendola says, "He's been aware of these allegations for over three years now. He came back to State College voluntarily last night."
The 41-page indictment, issued after a three-year Grand Jury investigation, is graphic.
