a new twist today in the sex-abuse scandal rocking penn state. mike mccreary the then graduate assistant, now assistant coach who told a grand jury that he witnessed coach jerry sandusky sexually abusing a boy back in 2002 but they ever called police appears now to be changing his story. in an email to former teammates last night, this is obtained by nbc news. he writes, i did the write thing, the truth is not out there fully. i didn't just turn and run, i made sure it stopped. but is that consistent with what he told the grand jury? senior writer at sports illustrated lars anderson is my guest. thank you so much for being here. obviously this case is about sandusky and his behavior, and to a lesser extent the behavior of the coaches who are alleged to have covered it up. but this guy falls within the mix, because while he did testify for the state in front ever the grand jury there is a real question about whether he stopped the rape of a ten-year-old boy when he witnessed it. the grand jury indictment seems to suggest, lars, that he did not, and yet

and mike mcquery who might have stopped a 2002 incident now claims he did. in an interview with bob costas yo for "rock center," sandusky said, i'm innocent of these charges. i could say i've done some of those things, i've horsed around with the kids, i've showered after workouts. i have hugged them and i have touched their legs without intent of sexual conduct. sandusky said. when costas asked him if he had done anything wrong, sandusky said, i shouldn't have showered with those kids. another huge development tonight, an e-mail obtained by nbc news, mike mcquery, who's an assistant coach now at penn state on administrative leave wrote to friends and former teammates, i did the right thing, you guys know me. the truth is not out there fully. i didn't just turn and run. i made sure it stopped. i had to make quick, tough decisions. there's more. today the judge in the case is coming under big-time scrutiny. pennsylvania district judge lessee dutchcot has done charity work for the second mile charity founded by sandusky. charity works is common for the -- charity work is common for judges, but the appear
