Lawyer for alleged Sandusky victim files motion to keep federal suit alive
WILLIAMSPORT The lawyer for an alleged Jerry Sandusky victim is critical of a State College law firm for the wording in a motion seeking to be dismissed from a federal lawsuit in which it is one of the defendants.
Don Bailey, a former state auditor general, objects to his complaint being described by McQuaide Blasko as a virtually incomprehensible rant and part of an opportunistic agenda.
In a brief filed Monday in U.S. Middle District Court in opposition to the dismissal motion, Bailey states in his view PSU could not have conducted, and its leaders would not have allowed, the unfortunate policies which permitted the abuses of Gerald Sandusky without advice from this defendant (McQuaide Blasko).
Bailey, who is representing a Dauphin County native who claims he was sexually abused in a campus swimming pool in 2005, contends the law firms brief in support of its motion to dismiss opens with a put-down of his client by turning a sexual assault into a briefly touched incident.
He accuses McQuaide Blasko of running political interference for the university for many years and added they did so with admirable success. He specifically cites Wendell Courtney, a former member of the firm and a defendant in the suit.
