UCLA defensive coordinator Tom Bradley denied allegations that he had knowledge of Jerry Sandusky‘s sexual misconduct with boys at Penn State as early as the 1980s.

“At no time did Tom Bradley ever witness any inappropriate behavior,” said a statement released by Bradley’s representative Brett Senior. “Nor did he have any knowledge of alleged incidents in the 80’s and 90’s. He has consistently testified as such. Any assertions to the contrary are false. When he became aware of the 2001 incident it had already been reported to the University administration years earlier.”

The allegations surfaced Tuesday morning in newly unsealed court documents that included a deposition from former Penn State assistant Mike McQueary.

McQueary stated Bradley told him of an incident in the 1980s in which someone told Bradley they had seen Sandusky “doing something with a boy,” and another time in the 1990s when another assistant coach, current Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano, came to Bradley to report seeing Sandusky “doing something to a boy in the shower.”
