Breaking NewsNew Sex Abuse Suit Claims Sandusky Threatened Boy’s Family If He Told

Attorneys representing a 29-year-old man says he was abused from 1992 to 1994 by Sandusky during a press conference, Nov. 30, 2011.

The latest person to accuse former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky of sexual abuse also claims that Sandusky threatened to hurt the boy’s family if he ever told anyone about the abuse.

Sandusky’s newest accuser, who is now 29, had not told anyone about the abuse until he read about the grand jury presentment charging Sandusky with 40 counts of child molestation over 15 years, his lawyer Jeff Anderson said today. Until that time, he had thought he was the only victim.

The man, whose identity was not released, issued a statement that said, “I don’t want other kids to be abused by Jerry Sandusky or anybody like Penn State to allow people like him to do it-rape kids! I never told anybody what he did to me over 100 times at all kinds of places until the newspapers reported that he had abused other kids.”

“I am hurting and have been for a long time because of what happened, but feel now even more tormented that I have learned of so many other kids were abused after me,” he said.

News Bakersfield Attorney Reacts To Alarming Study About Teen Car Accidents

Teenagers have the highest car accident rate of any group in the United States, and a recent study reveals just how dangerous new teenager drivers can be.

Bakersfield CA accident attorney Mickey Fine urges parents of teen drivers to take note of a study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. Researchers found that teen drivers are about 50 percent more likely to crash in the first month of driving than they are after a full year of experience driving on their own. Furthermore, the young drivers are nearly twice as likely to become involved in an auto accident as they are after two full years of experience, according to the study.

A related AAA Foundation study used in-vehicle cameras to monitor teens when they were learning to drive with their parents. Some of the teens were caught texting behind the wheel, engaging in horseplay with passengers, running red lights, and other potentially distracting or dangerous behaviors.

The AAA Foundation recommends the following steps for new teen drivers:

Practice driving after receiving the license to ensure the basic skills are mastered.
Limit the number of passengers in the car to avoid distractions.
Limit night driving, when the reduced visibility makes for riskier driving for people of all ages.
Set rules extending beyond the state laws, such as possibly limiting highway or city driving or barring the teen from driving in inclement weather.

News Track Personal Injury Lawyer Reflects On Pedestrian Death Study in WV

Nearly anyone who heads out for a walk on a regular basis likely keeps an eye out for drivers who may be distracted or operating recklessly. If you’re on foot in November, your risk of getting killed is far greater than at other times of the year, according to a study released by two Carnegie Mellon University researchers.

The researchers concluded that the November time change to standard time, or the end of daylight-saving time, has an impact on drivers, who may need weeks to get used to the new daylight patterns.

The study finds that the adjustment leads to a 300 percent greater chance of pedestrians being struck and killed by a car for the first few weeks after the return to standard time.
