are atop the pack. governor perry is running short of time to prove himself on those fronds which at least so far are this campaign's biggest tests not only for evangelicals but all slices of the republican electorate the we'll see you here tomorrow. john huntsman is among our guests. we'll be on the road all next week in iowa. "erin burnett out front" starts right now. >> we're down thing down to a big i vent in iowa. mitt romney is pulling out the big guns. chris christie giving a speech this hour. no charges for burny fine. at siftant secretary coast accused of molesting boys. we discovered something shocking about the statute of limitations for child abuse in america. plus, jerry sandusky in jail tonight. he couldn't post $250,000 cash bail, but he might tomorrow. the bottom line on that. let's go "out front."

>> artrested again, jerry sandusky arrested for the second time. he was arrested and charged with molesting two more boys. he was rained in court and unable to post $250,000 in cash bail. he remains in jail tonight. now sandusky has been charged with sexually abusing a tote afl ten boys although he continues to deny all allegations. we have a reporter in state college for us tonight. she has the latest on the story. thanks for being with us. what can you tell us about the situation and whether he'll be able to post bail and perhaps go free tomorrow as some reports indicate? >> reporter: he was rained too late in the day. it was a 3:00 hearing. by the time they could get

something together, he was going to have to spend the night in jail and hopefully post in the morning. now it is $250,000 cash bail. however, he can put up property. he can use a bail bondsman or pay in cash. but it's straight bail which means he has to post the whole amount, not just a percentage to get out. and then if he does get out and he's able to post, he'll be on an electronic ankle monitor which will confine him to his house. it's essentially house arrest until trial. >> and what can you tell us about these boys? >> these two additional victims are several years apart. one of them, the prosecutor in the room said he was the most recently abused victim. so, you know, his allegation is late as 2008, it's around the same time as victim one came forward. the other one was from 1997. and they both say, you know, things very similar to the things that we've already ran in the earlier grand jury presentiment which is abuse over

a long period of time, inappropriate touching and then one goes as far as alleged rape. >> thank you very much, sarah. we have news about the syracuse assistant basketball coach accused of sexually abugs three young men. the case took a strange turn. no charges are being filed in this case. the district attorney said they would not perfect bernie fine even though the alleged victims were credible. >> in addition to considering the victim's over believability, the district attorney's office was able to interview a person on sunday, november 20th, with significant inside information about the fine household which left one with little doubt that an inappropriate relationship existed between bobby davis and bernie fine and that lori fine was well aware of its existence. >> the da said the victims' allegations would have resulted in the arrest of bernie fine.

why? because the statute of limitations expired. this got us upset. we don't know whether he is innocent or guilty. we were upset that if something really happened, a statute of limitations could mean a person guilty of great harm could go free. we wanted to get to the bottom of it. so we got the numbers. by our count, 19 states plus the district of columbia have statutes of limitations on sex abuse. most states give a victim until the age of 18 to report an instance of abuts. but every state is different. it's a damning situation considering that 45% of sexual abuse victims who do tell about abuse don't do it for at least five years and, of course, most people still never tell anyone. isn't a statute of limitations for crimes like these wrong? paul callen is a former prosecutor. mark geragos is a defense attorney. i appreciate both of you being with us. let me start with you, paul. it does seem rather shocking. you look at state by state. i know this is complicated. but why would there be statutes of limitations in these cases?

>> well, it exists for a good reason. the reason is that if you try to reconstruct whether a crime took plac place, it's not fair to go back so far in time. you're accused -- let's say you were accused falsely. what if you didn't do it? what if it's a falts claim? where are you going to find your witness to support you? traditionally we've had statutes of limitations in everything but murder in the united states. and there's been a trend though recently and this, i think, is legitimate. where children are involved, because they have an inability to report the crime themselves, most states have extended statutes of limitations to allow them to become adults and have a certain period of time after that to report it. that probably wouldn't have saved the syracuse case. i think he was in his 30s when i reported it. >> what do you by this this concept of statute of limitations? >> look, paul said it perfectly. what if you have the situation where somebody is innocent? how do you reconstruct, 10, 15,

20 years after the fact. one of the more astonishing things though from this press conference from my standpoint though was as this da went out of his way to say, look, there's this exonerating nfgsz. he called it brady material which is what the nomenclature we use when we're in court. he said this couldn't have happened basic fli some of the accusations but we're confident beyond any doubt that it happened in other accusations. you have a u.s. attorney it issing there doing the investigation who must be cringing when he sees his da counterpart out there trying the case in public because that's not something that a federal judge is going to take cotton to later on. >> i want to follow up on this though. i know someone sexually abused and didn't deal with it, married, had a family and had his own problems, marriage broke up as a result of it. well beyond the statute of limitations and has no intent of coming forward. but what happens if he did?

doesn't he have a right to come forward when his whole life and now ex-wife's life and children's lives are affected? >> it depends on what state. there is a national trend to extend the statute of limitations. can you sue for money damages in many states. where criminal charges are involved, the statutes have traditionally been shorter. now, by the way, i think -- i agree that there should be longer statutes in some cases where children are involved. but we have to have a system where there is fairness where we're going to send somebody to prison for a long time. >> i understand both your points. but reconstructing after so many years, it clearly hurt. >> the other problem with this is the u.s. supreme court has already come out in a case that originated in california and said well, it's fine if you want to extend these statutes of limitations. but you can't revive crimes where they've already expired.

and a lot of this kind of stuff about the statute of limitations are people who are trying to do something that the supreme court has already said you cannot do. >> let me talk about one practical example. a case i had. i had a call. a catholic priest in his 50s. gets a telephone call from someone who says i was with you in a camp 30 years ago and you sexually abused me. and the priest says, you know, son, i don't know what you're talking about. you know, if this is true, report it to the police. now we investigated it subsequently. and the person making this claim, it was, in my view, a totally false claim. but if that statute had been extended, he could have been arrested on that charge. now is that fair after 30 years? the camp had burned down. there were no records of the camp as to whether they had even been there together. how do you reconstruct it? >> and if the claims are untrue,

it is something in a horrible way ruin the person being accused. still out front, the body of a 7-year-old found near a dumpster. a man who worked in her building arrested. and former illinois governor rob blagojevich sentenced to day to 14 years for trying to sell president obama's senate seat. and we've got reports today that muammar kadavy's son plans to sneak into mexico. his lawyer speaks to "out front" next. ♪ [ woman ] i know my kids are growing up. i see it in last year's pictures. i hear it in their plans for tomorrow. it makes me miss a couple of things. but i have a way to keep them close, even when they're far away.

i held on to your coffee. wow. ♪ nationwide is on your side ( laughing ) it's actually a pretty good day when you consider. that's great. americans love walmart. globally not so much. walmart was trying to tap into india's $450 billion retail market. indian leaders suspended the decision on letting foreign retailers come into the country thanks to resistance from citizens. this is an american problem. u.s. companies about a hard time breaking into the biggest markets in the world collectively called the bricks, brazil, russia, india, and china. and that brings us to our number to tight. 2,868,060,586. that is the estimated population of those four countries. 41% of the people on this planet

and a group that analysts tell us that u.s. companies are desperate to reach. brazil's walmart struggles have had problems in china, too. american tastes don't always fit into other countries. sometimes there are problems with local governments that don't welcome foreign and especially american businesses. and local companies often have the edge. american companies need to get into the markets big time to keep being the world's biggest and best companies. so walmart's setback is something all americans should watch. all right. we go to governor chris christie. a live picture of him at a campaign event. obviously, he endorsed mitt romney for president. this is happening in west des moines, iowa. we're going to be watching this carefully for you. we're going to have more on this in a couple moments. we're monitoring everything r every moment of it. he was expected to make his decision on his own canned da sishgs instead he decided not only to run but quickly made his

endorsement for mitt romney who is trailing neutral gun rich by double digits in national polls. this is a time for me to be strong for my children, be strong for patty, and this is also a time for patty and me to get home so we can explain to our kids, our babies amy and annie, what happened, what all this means and where we're going from here. >> well, what it all means is that former illinois governor rob blagojevich has 90 days left as a free man. after that, he'll start sevening a 14-year prison sentence, that's what he received today. he was found guilty of corruption after trying to make a profit of selling then senator president obama's seat. cook county commissioner, thank you for coming out front. you say it's no secret. you're not a fan of the former governor. you called for impeachment. that said, do you think he got a fair sentence today? >> i think the sentence that came down today is harsh but

justified. you know, let me be clear. i have sympathy for rob blah invoi blagojevich as a father and husband but not a governor that tried to shake down a children's hospital and try to keep the state at a stand still and sell off the president's former senate seat. >> so he's now the second illinois governor who has been sent to jail. what does that send to the state's political community? i mean at first there were sort of jokes about the mafia like atmosphere in illinois politics. but what does this mean? >> george ryan got 6 1/2 years. that didn't send a signal. rob blagojevich ran on a platform of cleaning up corruption in politics. sure enough, he wound up taking it to an art form. hopefully now a 14-year stencil send a message loud and clear to

other people that it's time for a change now. politics as uche in illinois cannot continue. voters can't put up with it anymore. our economy can't put up with it anymore. >> all that true. but he, you know, he -- you heard his apology the other day. he admitted that he had done something wrong. he said i didn't think so at the time. it was sort of the first time he really admitted it. it was a plea to spend time with his family. you weren't won over at all? >> when you're up there for the first time that you actually accept any responsibility for your actions, is that the sentencing phase? i think it's too little too late. this is somebody that went on to the media constantly to take on the judge, take on the prosecution, and was very defiant until the end. if he believed he was innocent, then he was innocent. for him to think like you have a revelation today, too little too late. now that being said, i think the fact he did do that today probably led to the judge taking a few years after of that sentence, keeping in mind for anybody that thinks this sentence is harsh, the prosecution asked for a 15 to

30-year sentence. the judge came down below that at a 14-year sentence. and there's no question, listen, that's a long time, even under federal guidelines he'll do just under 12 years. but that means his oldest daughter who is now 15, she'll be in her late 20s by the time her dad is out again. his youngest daughter will be coming out of high school. you know, that's the tragedy here. >> it is. all right. thank you very much, sir. we appreciate you taking the time. viewers, let us know what you think, fair or too much for the sentence nor rob blagojevich of 14 years. post your thoughts on our facebook page. >> reports that muammar kadavy's son tried to sneak into mexico and buy safe houses there. that's what mexico's interior minister announced today to the world. i spoke to sadi's lawyer who told me that he is still in niger, the country that has given him political asylum. he also said that he has not tried to flee since he arrived in the country. the sensational nature of the mexican press conference was designed to discredit my client

student loans. breaking news tonight, the most popular republican in the nation new jersey governor chris christie speaking tonight in eye ichlt here's what he suowe just about why he is supporting mitt romney. >> also, he is the only person that i think can legitimately take the fight to obama this summ summer. as republicans, we know we love our party. but if you're looking for the dand indicate who agrees with you on everything, i am your here. okay? buy a mirror. that's the only waun you're going to find somebody that agrees with you on everything. >> before he got talk, he got heckled and he loved it. [ yelling ] oh, yeah. you want to take this?

no. >> all right. let's fwli john avalon, former president bush spech writer, president and founder of american majority. i believe what his exact words were oh, now you all went new jersey on me and everything. so he had a sense of humor about it. what do you think about chris christie? can you turn this around for mitt romney. he was socially liberal. the tea party loves chris christie because he's conservative when it comes to final matters. >> what we're seeing is romney campaign pivoting. but still has credibility across the board by deploying chris christie to iowa right now, they're going to double down play in iowa. they're running ads as well. but it shosz the power of a

strong endorsement, someone that might be more popular in the candidate themselves in really trying to take off the day. >> do you think he can turn it around? >> i will say it's a good move for the romney campaign. chris christie is definitely popular with a lot of tea partiers. but as we've seen, mitt can't get past the 25% ceiling. is chris christie going to make it a better sale? >> is this a sign, david, of real desperation though for mitt romney and since you got to pull out chris christie now to actual out the donors. in the recent polling data has been the discovery that lots of republicans activists and base voters think of newt gingrich as electable. and, yet, the people who write

the parties checks an run the party's campaigns and hold office do nothing. so they see newt gingrich as a very goldwater disaster waiting to happen. and so what you're seeing with the bringing forward of people like chris christie, he's a employee of authority. you and all of your neighbors may will have newt gingrich, but the kun country remember the clinton impeach. >> today he came on with newt gingrich. he was talking about mitt rm any, confident, calling him he would support him if he became the nominee. he would pick him as a vice president potentially and listen to this. >> i wish everybody had loved me. i'd rather be infective representing the american people than be popular in r inside washington. >> what do you think, john? >> he's very gently

responsibling. he is getting a lot of this from his former colleagues. >> yeah, it's been pretty harsh. >> it has. but when you're on top, you get to be above the fray. and that he is what he is trying to restore that matured koout l. newt. he's the tea party candidate. you have the outsider insurgent force. and that is a fascinating role reversal. it really shows the depth of frustration with the romney camp. they'll circle around even this ultimate insider is an a alternatives right now. the current endorsements -- you have kid rock, you know, the singer. i can't sing the song. but anyway, he is coming onboard and be the songwriter for his campaign. maybe this endorsement will matter. but newt gingrich hasn't gotten endorsements really. >> endorsements give a feeling of inestability but people

should ask why are there no intentions of newt gingrich? >> he said i'd rather be popular in washington. he wasn't effective. republicans lost seats in 1998 and before newt gingrich revind. they passed to tom district attorney lay. neutral begin rish couldn't work the talkous. the open secret among those who were close to him was he was not very good at that job. and he was great at getting the majority but he's not good at executing or keeping the majority. that's what the bitterness is effective. >> it seems like mitt romney is trying much tougher, harder edged side. here he is on president obama. >> internationally, president obama has adopted an appeasement strategy. like others among the washington elite, he believes that america's role as the leader of

the world is a thing of the past. >> ned, that's a tougher, stronger mitt. but also a mitt that is very clearly trying to make hit imagainst obama and you're against you. >> romney is realizing we're 30 days away from iowa. aaron if, i could, the irony to me in some of this is here you have two poster children for many of the issues that the tea party came out against. individual health care mandates, t.a.r.p. with newt, medicare part d. historian for freddy. but i think what you're seeing now, mit is saying a strong stance. he realizes that newt is a threat. the grats roots is looking at this and going anybody but bit. they cycled through bachmann and cain and perry. the last man standing it looks like is newt gingrich. it really does boil down to anybody but mitt. i think tsz very interesting to

see. mitt has much better infrastructure. neutral admitted the find by the seat of their pants. so i'm going to be very interested to see what happens in iowa. is neutral going to pull a howard dean? what happens here in three, three-four weeks? >> i just want to mention this appeasement rhetoric. they used that record of appeasement. this is the 70 rnlg anniversary of pearl harbor. there is something beyond the pea of spazing the specters and have policy differences. you can have substandive differences pt but raising that particular inspector on this plate date, that seems to me in bad taste at least. >> if i koshgs erin, too. i think the interesting thing with newt and i've pointed this out to many people, many leaders and he's agreed with me for with some of them in the sidelines. i think they're being very

pragmatic. just keeping thur powder dry. the one concern that some of them have expressed and i sthi there is the projecting upon newt gingrich their hopes that he'll be a conservative champion. i think some of his behavior in the last 15 years has shown otherwise. i think newt has a lot to still convince he is an authentic conservative and i think, you know, he and mit, especially mitt, have a lot of ground to make up for the tea party movement. >> but is it done as john avalon is saying. >> i don't think it's done. i think things move very fast. and the points that ned makes, i mean if your complaint against mitt romney is he's on too many different sides of too many issues, newt gingrich has been on more sides of more issues. if you're plant is that -- >> he does laundry, for god's sakes. >> is anyone so vehement and violent in his speech as newt gingrich, is he must be sincere. he was just as vehement the

other day. if mitt romney's greatest vulnerability is the health care man take the, begin begin begin was in favor of that. that was the republican alternative. gingrich was leader of the republican of party. there is an unreality about the whole gingrich campaign. i think that is going to come home. it's above all going to be the case that with newt gingrich the republican party is making this an election about the past, about the republican past and not about president obama's record which is what the party should want to make the election about. >> thank you. david, ned, john. appreciate it. a lot of people don't realize the things you just said. we'll see if they do after they view your interview. the clock xounting down on the extension of the payroll tax break. this could result in you paying $700 to $2300 more in nacext ye.

president obama took a hard stand. white house correspondent jessica yellin? >> what the president says is he wants a clean bill. he wants that payroll tax cut passed. the oing thing attached to it, basely, that he would accept for is he would be paid for. he said if there is anythingless, he would reject it. he also suggested that he knows that senate democrats would not allow a bill through the nat that has anything extraneous attached to it. so what do we mean by strainous? >> well, for example, speaker boehner would let the xl pipeline that brings canada down through the united states that he'd like to force a decision on that. legislation attached to the payroll tax cut as part of that package. >> i know a lot of people would

support the president. a lot of people how that always happens. that's where the corm comes in. do you think that we'll get a millionaire sax or will that not pass republicans and we're going to hear something else come through? >> given the makeup of congress and the way it looks, it is unlikely what this republican house of representatives is ultimately going to swallow. so it seems unlikely politically that that would happen. you never know. >> thank you very much, jessica. i think we all can make a bet that there should be some sort of compromise just because the american people love this tax cut. tanks, jess kachlt. let's check in wander son. hi, anderson? >> hi, we're keeping them honest today. the fat check of the bloodshed in his country.

we do this at the same time every night. our outer circle. we reach out to our sources around the world and first to russia. after two days of protests over the results of sunday's parliamentary vote, the former soviet leader is calling for new elections over voter fraud concerns.

phil black is in moscow. how significant is the statement? >> it is significant to the international community. they always held him in very high esteem. to put it bluntly, here in russia, people stopped caring what mikhail gorbachev thinks a long time ago. by the time he stepped down as the head of the soviet union, he was already deeply unpopular. his credibility had eroded to nothing. in recent years, he has been an outspoken critic of vladimir putt putin. >> phil, thank you. now to syria. embattled president assad denied responsibility for the crackdown in syria. ivan watson is covering the story closely. what kinds of reactions are you hearing? weapon delusional, the true meaning of insanity. assad is a madman in complete denial of the situation in syria. erin, those are some of the words that western diplomats,

syrian opposition activists and long-time political analysts and syria watchers are using to describe their reaction to assad's abc news interview. of course, he does have some supporters as he denies any government role in the killings that have taken place though since march. the lebanese shiite move came out forcefully in support of its syrian ally in a public speech on tuesday. erin? >> all right. thank you. and now to india. a pakistani actress says an indian magazine doctored photos of her to look nude, including one that shows her with nothing but the initials of the pakistani intelligence agency written on her arm. sarah sidener is in mum buy. what action is she taking against the magazine? >> reporter: she decided to take legal action against hhm magazine because they doctored a photo that was on the very front page of the magazine this month. that photo shows her nude.

she says she did not pose nude. they say they was fully aware and very happy with the photo spread that they did with her. and that she knew that this was going to be in their magazine and they are now serving her legal notice to counter sue her. why is this causing such a big controversy? well, in pakistan, the government reacted and her family disowned her. the interior minister of pakistan's government says they will look into this case. certainly this is not the image that pakistan wants for its insell jens agency. erin? >> sarah, thank you. we have breaking news about the man under the arrest in the brutal stabbing death of a georgia child. he was taken into custody early today. he was accused of sexually assaulting and murdering a 7-year-old girl 40 miles north of atlanta. he is set to be rained tomorrow. police say he worked in the same apartment complex where the little girl lived. she was last seen friday at her canton, georgia, apartment. her body was found nearby in a trash bin on monday. she was killed in a vacant

apartment and that they were able to find brun with help from the public. >> we have had brun under surveillance since last night as we continue to collect evidence in this case. we reached a point this afternoon where we had sufficient evidence evidence to arrest warrants for the murder of a 7-year-old child. >> holly fifr has been covering this story. holly, what led to his arrest today, when they said "help from the public"? >> it was a tip from somebody in the apartment complex that actually led them to ryan brunn. remember back on friday when they started canvassing the apartment, law enforcement told us they were focusing on somebody they thought that lived or had access to the apartment complex. a couple of things transpired on monday when they found her body in a trash compacter. first of all, you need a key to use the trash compacter.

the only people who had key were maintenance people. secondly, there was evidence, blood and a mattress found in an apartment apartment building next door to where jorelys lived. who would know about that? they said somebody who live there had or somebody who had access to those apartments. so they canvassed the neighborhood, asked residents for anything that they saw, and someone came forward and said there was a maintenance guy who started about a month ago. he started actually on november 7th. he supposedly was living in the apartment complex, with somebody else. we're told by a neighbor it's the property manager's son. and that he was very friendly, he was seen around, but they didn't really know him that well. so when gbi and the fbi and the the sheriff's department were asking around, a lot of people were mentioning this guy, ryan brunn, erin, so his name kept coming pe ining up. >> so when you're saying he only worked there a month, people didn't have a sense if he was behaving around children inappropriately. do you know if he had to go

through any kind of a background check before he was hired? >> reporter: yes, as a matter of fact, just moments ago, we got a statement i want to read to you from the company that manages the the apartment complex where jorelys rivera was killed. it says, "he was put through an extensive background check that included a criminal and sexual predator background check and he passed. he had to undergo this for both his employment and residency." and according to law enforcement officials, they did not find any criminal record in his past, but they do say they're going to check out every county, every state that he's lived to see if there are unsolved crimes or whether maybe it was a sexual crime that wasn't reported. but they suspect there might be something in his past that they just didn't know about. >> well, holly, thank you very much. just a deeply horrific story. well, the gop nomination is still up for grabs. you saw chris christie on the stump tonight for mitt romney. you see the polls for newt gingrich and republicans having a mutiny against newt gingrich, some of them. so you know what, maybe it's time for a new candidate. we have one, exclusively going

to announce his candidacy and he's going to talk about why he felt he needed to run. next. not your favorite but it's time for your medicine, okay? you ready? one, two, three.

we have some exciting news tonight. "outfront" is here with a new presidential candidate. someone we haven't met before and we don't think you have either. but they really might be shaking up this campaign, big time. it's a he, and he's not just any old politician. he's a muppet. so let's not wait any longer. let's bring our guest on.

with us is mr. wozniki. what do you have to say to america? >> first of all, i want to thank you for having me on to speak with you and to be talking together as we are now and i thank you for the opportunity. basically, here's the deal. i was driving the in my car a couple of weeks ago and i was listening to the debates, and i'm thinking to myself, this is all a bunch of bull [ bleep ]. and i'm tired of it and i'm going to change it and make america good again, or at least get us back in the playoffs. >> all right. you released a statement earlier this morning on youtube, and i have to say, sir, it was laced with some profanity, provocative language, shall we say? let's take a listen. >> it's [ bleep ], [ bleep ], [ bleep ] all over the place. >> so what are you trying to accomplish here? why use that language?

>> well, you know what? sometimes i would talk, and i get heated, but my heart's in the right place. and i'm going to clean up my act. you bet i am. no more bull [ bleep ], no more [ bleep ], no more -- no more, you know, dirty [ bleep ] [ bleep ] [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. none of that! >> one question here. this is a big one. if you were president right now, we've got this payroll tax cut that americans have been enjoying. it's got to be extended by the end of the year. democrats and republicans, they both want to do it, but they can't agree on how to pay for it. how would you pay for it? >> put rich people in jail. take their money and then give it to everybody else. number one, boom, done. >> really? >> yeah. >> and you're a republican? >> well, you know what, i'm a republican. right now i'm only running as republican, because they are a bunch of clowns. but i'm an american. i'm for the people. i'm for everybody in our country -- not people who aren't

here, but everyone -- and fortunately, i will get people back to work. >> let me ask you, you say they're all clowns, this is important here, who is the biggest clown running for president? >> well, now, i don't want to disparage anyone's -- i don't want to disparage anyone's personality, so let's point out the physical defects. >> okay, that's good. >> all right. rick perry has got a tremendously good coif. a nice head of hair on him. that mitt romney fella, good posture. michele bachmann, good eyes. and i know eyes! well, herman cain's gone on the account of he's -- didn't do something he shouldn't have. newt gingrich! he's got the cutest cheeks i ever seen. you could pinch him all day long. >> oh! i don't think i'd want to do that. >> okay. well, i'm just saying. i didn't ask you too, you said you couldn't. >> you gave me a mental image, that's all. >> i didn't mean too.
