Prosecutors: Keep Sandusky inside

STATE COLLEGE, Pa — Prosecutors yesterday asked to have Jerry Sandusky kept indoors as part of his bail conditions, citing complaints that the former Penn State assistant football coach was seen outside and watching children in a schoolyard from the back porch of his home, where he remains under house arrest while awaiting trial on child-molestation charges.

The state attorney general’s office argued in a court filing that Sandusky’s bail conditions should be revised so that he is not allowed outside except to seek medical treatment. Prosecutors said they opposed Sandusky’s request to be allowed contact with his grandchildren as he awaits trial on 52 child sex-abuse charges.

Defense attorney Joe Amendola issued a statement late yesterday that said safety concerns in Sandusky’s neighborhood were totally unfounded, and that he has complied with all bail conditions.
