Abuse survivor linking Jerry Sanduksy to pedophile ring takes accusations to national audience

By Gary Sinderson and Bill Wadell

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. —


The man who claims that Jerry Sandusky was connected to a pedophile ring with Philadelphia businessmen decades ago is taking his accusations to a national audience on Friday afternoon.

In a special edition of "Dr. Phil" set to air at 3 p.m. on WJAC-TV, Greg Bucceroni claims that he was propositioned with $200 to have sex with Sandusky in connection to an alleged child pornography ring connected to three states.


Buccerorni says he was sexually abused by well-known businessman Ed Savitz, who knew Sandusky, and Buccerorni eventually traveled to State College.

In an on-camera interview in Philadelphia, Bucceroni told 6 News that Savitz lured him into the alleged child pornography ring by offering him cash and drugs in exchange for sex acts with adult men.

"What happened was, he said that the coach from The Second Mile was interested in me and a couple of other kids (to) come up. He wants to meet us," said Bucceroni. "When I get up to Sandusky, I'm trying to feel out who's there, with my best interests, who's there to kind of like exploit me? That's how I'm feeling. I'm kind of like a stripper at a bachelor party."

Sandusky was convicted of 45 charges connected to child sex abuse on and off the Penn State University Park campus.

In a sit-down interview in his State College office, Sandusky's attorney told 6 News that he could not confirm or deny ongoing federal investigations into his client or the charity that he founded.

"I think it'd be inappropriate for me to comment on that," said defense attorney Joe Amendola. "If the federal authorities got involved, it might have to do with maybe how some of the money was used from the Second Mile organization, because you may recall, there were some insinuations at Jerry's trial about money being transferred to give to certain young people who turned out to be accusers."
