A Dr. Phil Exclusive: Child Prostitute Links Sandusky to Pedophile Ring

A Dr. Phil Exclusive: Child Prostitute Links Sandusky to Pedophile Ring
September 28, 2012

As Jerry Sandusky awaits sentencing on 45 counts of sexual abuse against boys, new allegations have surfaced that he was involved in a tri-state child porn ring. Forty-eight-year-old Greg Bucceroni has come forward, saying that as a young boy in 1979, Ed Savitz — now deceased, then-advocate for at-risk children — arranged for him to have sex with Sandusky, whom he says everyone called "The Coach." Though the encounter never happened, Greg speaks out in a Dr. Phil exclusive about the horrors he says he lived through as a child. Hear how he says he was manipulated into the dark and dangerous world of drugs and child prostitution.

And learn why, after 34 years, he says he's finally telling his secret. Greg insists he tried getting the police involved at the time of the alleged abuse, to no avail. Why does he believe no one listened? Plus, 30-year-old Travis Weaver — the only alleged victim of Sandusky to reveal his identity — speaks out about the sexual abuse he says he suffered at the hands of his "hero." This show contains strong sexual content. Viewer discretion is advised....

Greg says he believes the child prostitution ring is still operating today. "Every time they went after Savitz, they only focused on Savitz, even though they had information about others," he says. "They never went after the network. This is the first time they're going after the network, at a federal level." 

Travis says he feels Penn State should've done more to protect him. He's currently suing the university along with Sandusky and The Second Mile. Travis' attorney, Marci Hamilton, explains the basis of the lawsuit: "Penn State must have known that Jerry Sandusky was engaging in sex abuse," she says. "It was negligent and reckless to let Sandusky near these kids."
