Oral and anal sex are also part of the allegations as well as shower incidents.

Sandusky lawyer Joe Amendola reportedly said his client continues to maintain his innocence but his arraignment is set for next Wednesday. He was released on $100,000 bail.

The Attorney General Linda Kelly however, reportedly describes Sandusky as a "sexual predator" who abused his power to prey on vulnerable young boys.

One of the victims may reportedly be as young as 11 or 13 and court documents allegedly show that a janitor caught Sandusky with the boy pinned up against the wall, performing oral sex on him in 2000.

Two university officials--the school's athletic director and an administrator are also charged with knowing about the abuse and covering it up. Both men's lawyers say their clients are innocent. 57 year old Tim Curley and 62 year old Gary Schultz will reportedly turn themselves in to authorities on Monday.

Head coach Joe PaternoJoe Paterno has not been charged or accused of having any knowledge of the prolonged abuse but was fired along with president Graham Spanier.
