A lawsuit filed Wednesday by a new accuser is alleging that former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky sexually abused him as a boy over 100 times, and threatened to harm his family if he spoke up about it at the time.

The man, 29, and 10-years-old at the time, alleges the abuse occurred over a five year period from 1992-96. He had "severe" sex acts with ex-coach, according to his lawyer, and is seeking at least $400,000 in damages for sexual abuse, negligence, emotional distress among other.

The man, referred to as just "John Doe" to maintain his anonymity said he didn't come forward sooner because at the time he thought he was a lone victim.

"I am hurting and have been for a long time because of what happened, but feel now even more tormented that I have learned of so many other kids were abused after me," the plaintiff said in a statement his lawyer read aloud at a news conference. "Now that I have done something about it, I am feeling better and going to get help and work with the police," the accuser wrote in his statement.
