. >> erin, thanks. good evening, everyone. we begin with new word from mike lang, one of three accusers making sex allegations against bernie fine, syracuse university's fired associate men's basketball coach. he spoke to our gary tuchman who joins us shortly. new revelations about what might have been done when first accuser called police with his allegations but wasn't. it's a procedure followed in other big cities but not in syracuse. the accuser's name is bobby davis, a former su ball boy who is now 39. he told espn the abuse started in 1994 when he was 12 and continued for more than a decade. he waited until 2002 to phone syracuse city police who told him they couldn't pursue charges because the statute of limitations had expired. the city's police chief admits they could have done a better job. he said that in 2002 that the procedures which are in effect today were not in effect back then, the procedures that would mean an allegation would be logged into a computer database. back then they did next to nothing. not only d

. >>> erin, thanks. good evening. we begin with breaking news. new explosive sexual allegations against gop presidential hopeful herman cain. these do not involve allegations of inappropriate contact or harassment. they're allegations of a consensual affair. an atlanta businesswoman claims she had an affair with cain that lasted 13 years, an affair that only ended some eight months ago when he began running for president. here's what ginger white told waga, an atlanta television station about the alleged affair. >> it was pretty simple. it wasn't complicated. i was aware that he was married, and i was also aware that i was involved in a very inappropriate situation, relationship. >> ginger white on the affair she claims she had with herman cain. she also showed waga cell phone records showing 61 calls for tex messages she claimed were from cain's private cell phone. >> we've never worked together, and i can't imagine anyone phoning or texting me for the last 2 1/2 years just because. >> cain upstaged his accuser's announcement when he appeared on

erin? >> thank you. and now to libya where the international chief prosecutor announced libya could prosecute saif gadhafi. that is, of course, moammar qaddafi's son. they reversed course to try him. why did the icc back down on this demand? >> erin, icc chief prosecutor campo says they are not in competition with libyan authorities. their goals, he says, is to see saif gadhafi face justice. it would be good for the libyans who have the rights to take over the case. but first, they have to prove they have a genuine case against him and that their proceedings would meet icc standards, then the court would grant them the right to hold this trial on libyan soil. erin? >>> she was the best liar i've ever seen. >> was it imperfect justice? or was there reasonable doubt? that's what we're left with after casey anthony was found not guilty. of the 2008 murder of her 2 year-old daughter, caylee. former assistant attorney jeff ashton was part of a team that prosecuted anthony this summer. revealing new details ab

erin? >> arwa, thank you. another investigation has been launched into the handling of the child sex abuse allegations at penn state. one of the alleged victims has been forced to switch schools after being bullying and teased. the man at the center, jerry sandusky who has been charged with sexually abusing eight boys has been seen around town acting as normal. we have sarah there at penn state. sara, i want to ask you about that. first of all, what can you tell us about victim number one's decision to switch schools and how he was being treated and whether it was linked to this case? >> erin, it was link today this case. basically, students at that school weren't getting any education from teachers and from staff and were pockets of immaturity at the school were lashing out against victim one. calling him names, derogatory names related to the case and blaming him and bullying him because of the firing of joe paterno. apparently it got so bad that his mother decided that not even halfway through his senior ye

and this is basically what we know, erin. scott paterno saying last weekend my father was diagnosed with treatable lung cancer. his doctors are optimistic. this is a deeply personal matter for my parents and we simply ask that his privacy be respected as he proceeds with with the treatment. so, again, last weekend, first time he hasn't been head coach since 1966 and finds out he has lung cancer. but they're saying it's a treatable form. he's 84. he had an intestinal issue within the past year. but they say he's a strong man. >> well, mike, thank you very much. we appreciate your reporting. and, of course, this has been a story that all of us now have been living and breathing. it's been just under two weeks since the scandal rocked penn state and the nation. our legal contributor has been following these outfront tonight. paul, let me start with this. the ncaa bylaws, they say that coaches and athletic staffers must do more than avoid improper conducts. their own moral values must be so certain and positive. so what do you --

erin? >> thank you very much. >>> out to england, where passengers arriving on a chartered flight from india, this is not a joke, were forced to pay 200 additional dollars after they got on the plane to complete their trip. it's the second time this week this has happened. max foster's in london tonight. max, what happened? will they get their money back? >> under british rules, the passengers will get their money back if they booked a package holiday. for those who booked flights only, there are no rules unfortunately. the airline's main shareholders says all passengers should be repaid but not by him. he says it's down to the travel agents who took the money to pay it back. it's a very murky situation, pretty much unheard of. but that doesn't help the passengers who were left temporarily stranded and out of pocket. erin. >> and the money, by the way, apparently because the plane needed fuel. >>> now to san diego where investigators have seized tons of marijuana worth up to $30 million. no
