On Nov. 8, FOX’s Philadelphia affiliate reported the number of Jerry Sandusky’s alleged victims had risen from the grand jury report’s eight to something like 20. The New York Times now appears to have confirmed that report, saying, “close to 10 additional suspected victims have come forward to the authorities since the arrest.”
