Matt Sandusky: Adopted Son of Disgraced Penn State Coach Files Motion To Change Name

By

The adopted son of Jerry Sandusky, who was convicted in 2012 of sexually abusing 10 boys within a 15-year period, has filed along with his wife and four children to have their names legally changed, court documents in Centre County, Pennsylvania, CNN reported.

Matt Sandusky originally denied being abused by his adopted father, but during deliberations, he admitted to his lawyer that he also was a victim of abuse.

Matt Sandusky's birth mother lost a case against Jerry Sandusky to gain legal custody of her son when he was a child.

Sandusky's writings in a 2000 memoir about the difficult relationship with his adopted son, Matt, are similar to several letters he wrote to a boy now known as alleged victim No. 4.
