NOTE: I'm confused - isn't this accuser 5? But WGAL has him listed as Accuser 6. ???
ETA: They changed it to Accuser 5, so I'm editing the post now (thanks to Reader for letting me know)
Day Three – Afternoon. Accuser 5 was referred to Second Mile camps in elementary school. A school counselor said he should go to camp to learn English. He met Sandusky at the camp and started hanging out. His account of meeting Sandusky was similar to other accusers.
Accuser 5 said -- In 2001, Sandusky invited him to go work out in Lasch Building. Sandusky showed him around the weight room and worked out for a short amount of time. Sandusky took him into the sauna, had him undress and just wear a towel – this was Sandusky’s idea, according to the accuser.
Accuser 5 said he sat down in the sauna and Sandusky took off his towel and exposed himself to the accuser. The accuser didn’t say anything to Sandusky. When asked how long they were in the sauna, Accuser 5 said -- It felt like forever. The accuser said he has never been in a sauna since.

After the sauna, the accuser said he and Sandusky went to the shower. Accuser 5 said he tried to separate himself from Sandusky but he couldn’t. He said -- It felt like he was looking at me.

Accuser 5 said -- I just stood in my corner area (crying)…he threw some soap at me and started lathering my shoulders…I felt his body on my back (the accuser paused in his testimony here, took a deep breath and wiped his face). I kept lurching forward but I didn’t have any more room to go. I kind of turned away and felt his arm on me, and he touched my genitalia. Then he took my hand and placed it on his.

Accuser 5 said -- I remember just drying off. He said he felt like Sandusky was upset with him because Sandusky didn’t talk to him and there was no eye contact.

Accuser 5 said he didn't tell his family about it. He said -- I wanted to forget it. I was embarrased. He said he cut off contact with Sandusky and Sandusky didn’t talk to him again.

Accuser 5 said the first person he told about the incident was his girlfriend a year ago.

The prosecution then showed a photograph of the accuser with a group of boys and Sandusky. In the picture, the accuser stands about as tall as Sandusky's chest. The prosecution then showed a drawing the accuser did for police. It was a rudimentary blueprint of where he and Sandusky stood in the shower.

On cross examination, defense attorney Joe Amendola pressed Accuser 5, pointing out that his grand jury testimony indicates that the shower incident happened in 1998 but today he said it was in late summer of 2001. Accuser 5 said he sat down and thought about it and remembered that he had switched schools at the time and it happened after his birthday, but before another date.
