(Reuters) - A man who was sexually assaulted as a boy by Jerry Sandusky in a shower in a Penn State locker room has retained a group of Pennsylvania lawyers and plans to file a lawsuit against Penn State over the matter, the attorneys said on Thursday.
A statement posted to the website of the Philadelphia law firm Ross Feller Casey LLP said the firm and two State College, Pennsylvania-based attorneys are representing the man known only as Victim 2.
"We intend to file a civil lawsuit against Penn State University and others and to hold them accountable for the egregious and reckless conduct that facilitated the horrific abuse our client suffered," the statement said.
Last month Sandusky, a former assistant football coach at Penn State, was convicted of sexually abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period. Victim 2 was one of only two of the 10 victims not to testify at the trial.
Victim 2 was known only because of the testimony of former graduate assistant coach Mike McQueary, who testified he had seen Sandusky assaulting a boy in the shower at the Penn State locker room.
A spokesman for Penn State did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
