BELLEFONTE, Pa. -- The judge in the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse case ruled Monday the former Penn State football coach can see his grandchildren while under house arrest, the Daily Collegian reported.
The announcement from Judge John M. Cleland came after a hearing Friday morning at which Sandusky requested more lenient bail conditions.
Defense attorney Joe Amendola asked that Sandusky be allowed to have his grandchildren visit while in the company of other adults.
Cleland, who has scheduled a tentative trial date of May 14, also said Sandusky can provide a list of 12 adults that will be allowed to visit him at his home. Sandusky was also granted a request to leave his house for meetings with his defense lawyers.
