Jerry Sandusky Love Letters? Victim 4 Reportedly Received 'Love Letters' From Ex-Penn State Coach

Despite having a request to use a pseudonym denied by the judge, the man identified as "Victim 4" in grand jury reports intends to testify against Jerry Sandusky. Not only will he be taking the stand when the ex-Penn State football coach's sex abuse trial gets underway, but he has also reportedly given "love letters" written to him by Sandusky to the prosecution, reports Jim Avila and Colleen Curry of ABC.

Based on the grand jury report released in November of 2011, Victim 4 met Sandusky at the age of 12 or 13 when he was in the Second Mile program, the charity founded by the accused former coach in 1977. The grand jury report also indicated that Victim 4 was in attendance at Sandusky's 1998 Outback Bowl party and accompanied him to the 1999 Alamo Bowl.

Per the ABC News report, letters that Sandusky allegedly wrote to Victim 4 will be read into testimony on Monday when the trial begins. Victim 4, who is now 28, was among several Sandusky accusers who requested pseudonyms

"Although Victim 4 remains 100 percent committed to testifying against the defendant in this case, at what expense will it come to his short-term and long-term well-being?" his lawyers wrote after the pseudonym request was denied.

The 68-year-old Sandusky maintains his innocence but faces 52 counts of child sexual abuse against 10 boys over the span of 15 years. Formerly an accomplished defensive coach for the Nittany Lions, Sandusky's initial arrest in November 2011 ignited a firestorm of controversy and outrage that led to the ouster of iconic football coach Joe Paterno and other school administrators.

Sandusky founded The Second Mile to assist foster children and provide social servies for at-risk youth but prosecutors allege that he used the child to locate and groom young boys like Victim 4 for abuse. The charity ultimately shut down and transferred some services to other organizations.
