The announcement of next week's testifying by the six young victims was made by the lawyer for one of the alleged abuse victims.
That lawyer also tells ABC 7 News in San Francisco that he has information that the six young men, who already testified in front of a grand jury, will be asked to testify again next week.
Jerry Sandusky has been charged with 40 counts of sex abuse against children over a 15-year time span. The incidences involved 8 boys. Sandusky and his lawyer deny the charges and say they will fight it.
Sandusky admits to "horsing around" with the boys but never to sexually abusing them. (One of the victims says he felt he could not say 'no". See that article here: Penn State: victim felt he couldn't say no)
Nils Frederiksen, spokesperson for the office of the state attorney general, has told press only that evidence will be presented to send the Sandusky case to trial, reports ABC 7 News.
