joining me now to detail this terrible story, his attorney, jeff anderson.specializes in sex abuse cases. thank you very much for joining me tonight. this is particularly awful even by the standards of what we've been hearing on this case. the lawsuit states your client john doe was raped, abused hundreds of times in multiple locations by jerry sandusky and even out of state ball game. i suppose the obvious question, why did your client keep his silence all these years? >> well, i think that is a fair question. and i think it really requires us to really understand how sexual abuse by authority figures like sandusky coerce silence and secrecy and cause this victim and others like him to believe they're being cared for. to believe it is their fault. so they suffer in silence blaming themselves and believing they won't be believed. so they are afraid. they are confused and they are suffering in shame of usually when there is abuse by powerful authority figures, it takes years or decades to break the silence. >> i want to play you a clip from jerry sandusky's s

>> reporter: well, the first thing we know is that his lawyer is jeff anderson who is a very successful, very aggressive lawyer from st. paul, minnesota, who has been -- sued many catholic archdiocese. he is familiar with this area of the law and been successful. this case is in pennsylvania even though the whole focus of the investigation has been syracuse, and that's because there was an allegedly an event that took place, an abuse -- act of abuse took place in pittsburgh and pennsylvania has a much more favorable statute of limitations than new york does so they are in better shape on those legal grounds. tomaselli has a lot of problems. he is, himself, currently being accused of engaging in sexual abuse. he's estranged from his family. some family members have said he's lying about the situation. so obviously it's important for everyone to keep an open mind about what happened here, what's going to happen with this lawsuit, but he's got a very serious lawyer. it's going to be a major issue for syracuse to have to deal with. >> jeff, with the syracuse case, the d.a. can't prosecute f

host: anderson, indiana, jeff, democrat. good morning. i thought i pushed the button for jeff. caller: good morning. i'm jeff and i'm a democrat and i'm also an african-american and yeah, i think third party is due, but what i really want to talk about is the whole ron paul situation. and with these new revelation -- maybe not so much new by his newsletter and his views about race that many of us are very concerned about, one of the reasons why the republican would not confront mr. paul an these views is they're afraid he will break the third-party movement that was pretty much guaranteed an obama re-election. and as as you're a conservative, i've seen you on other programs, why haven't other programs spoken out about ron paul and his extremist views? one of the people say, well, the whole libertarian party is good if you're a white male. if it was being fair and put your boots up by your bootstraps and rugged individual, that's ok if you're a white male, because everything in society is geared for your success. that's a boring us argument anyway. but the whole ron paul -- host
