Grand Jury Report Sandusky, Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky insisted in an interview Monday night he is “innocent” of charges that he sexually abused young boys, denying to NBC’s Bob Costas that he’s a pedophile.

In a telephone interview with NBC’s “Rock Center With Brian Williams,” Sandusky admitted that some details in the graphic 23-page grand jury report released earlier this month are correct.

“I could say I have done some of those things,” he said. “I have horsed around with kids I have showered (with) after workouts. I have hugged them, and I have touched their legs without intent of sexual contact.”

Still, Sandusky claimed he has been falsely accused of crimes. When pressed, the 67-year-old Sandusky said the only thing he did wrong was having “showered with those kids.”

The stunning allegations led to the firing of legendary coach Joe Paterno and the departure of other officials because they didn’t promptly contact police after accusations surfaced.

The national spectacle has outraged and embarrassed Penn State students and alumni. An alumni-led effort has raised $372,000 for abuse victims in less than a week, a Twitter message said on Tuesday.

Investigations have been launched by the Pennsylvania attorney general’s office, the U.S. Department of Education, Penn State, and Second Mile, the charity founded by Sandusky.

Costas asked probing questions in his interview : “Are you sexually attracted to young boys, to underage boys?”
