Attorneys for one of the alleged sex abuse victims of former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky say his New York Times interview contains an ''unconvincing denial and a series of bizarre explanations'' for Sandusky's behavior.

In a written statement released Saturday, the attorneys for one of Sandusky's eight accusers say the former coach's comments wrongly cast Sandusky as a ''victim,'' which further harms their client and the other alleged victims.

David Marshall, one of the attorneys, says Sandusky's interview also ''goes a long way'' toward corroborating the accusers' version of events because Sandusky acknowledged showering and wrestling with the boys.
