. >>> erin, thank you very much. we begin keeping them honest. with new developments in the penn state abuse scandal. more evidence that there's still much more to this story, much more people are covering up about what they knew and when they knew it. you're also going to hear a mom's account of what her son is going through. he's the boy right now known simply as victim one in the grand jury report detailing jerry sandusky's he alleged 15-year string of serial abuse. he was the first to come forward, this boy was, three years ago. that's why he's called victim number one, though according to the grand jury he was not the fist victim. he started the landslide that brought down sandusky, joe paterno, penn state's president, senior vice president for business and the school's athletic director. his mother says he's brave, but tonight he's afraid that people might find out who he is, afraid he might run into jerry sandusky, who's out on bail, afraid he may ultimately go free. but that's not all she's saying tonight. she's also describing to us the

erin? they get their weapon systems from stealing them from the pentagon, whether it's their airplanes, missiles or aircraft carriers. that's what they do, they steal from us. >> apparently when the helicopter went down the night of osama bin laden died, some say the pakistanis let them look at our technology there. >> it's amazing what we put up with. >> thank you very much. it is something that gives you a food for thought. it makes you wonder if congress is really going to step up to the plate and deal with this problem. let's turn to representative kristi noem, republican congresswoman from south dakota. thank you for being with us. the president speaking now in australia at this very moment. congress warned today about the rise of china's military power which can only get stronger so far as their economy is growing and lending and ours is not growing and borrowing. is the super commit see going to do its job. >> the more debt we continue to accumulate, that's who has been borrowing our

. >> erin, thanks very much. good evening, everyone. breaking news in the penn state child sex abuse scandal. late word of a new accuser. his lawyer says jerry sandusky raped him back in the 1990s. there may be more new accusers to follow. possiblily as much as ten. some are claiming abuse dating back to material '80s. now those claim ls bear out and the charges are, in fact, true, it means the abuse went on far longer than first thought, and so, perhaps, did a coverup. jason has more on the new accuser in a moment, but we begin with the possibility of a coverup, or a at the very least a deep culture of silence when it comes to anything that might tarnish penn state football and joe paterno. as we showed you last night, the more we try to answer the questions that everyone wants answers to, the more we run into manifestations of the culture, of the eco system, in which everyone knows everyone, and they're all connected somehow to penn state football. start with mike mcqueary who said he witnessed jerry sandusky raping a boy in the footb

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

. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >>> erin, thanks. good evening, everyone. major developments in the penn state child sex abuse scandal. we learned that fired head coach joe paterno has lung cancer, that the ncaa is investigating penn state for how it happened abuse allegations. that in addition to investigating possible wrongdoing by the university according to a new report. federal authorities may also have good reason to investigate jerry sandusky because sandusky crossed state lines with some of his accusers. we've also learned from cnn contributor sara ganim, who joins us shortly, that another accuser has gone to police and may go to the grand jury and that there may be accusers with abuse allegations dating back to the '70s. then late today another report surfaces. it concerns sandusky's former charity, second mile, the one he founded and allegedly employed to recruit victims while projecting a saintly image to the community. second mile's chief executive david woodall telling both "the new york times" and the local "patriot news" the organization coul

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 burnett "outfront" starts right now.

erin? >> that's what they are going to give in those numbers tomorrow? that's your expectation? we'll get all of that? >> there's a list coming out from the alabama state department of education. it's very different from what the doj is asking the school districts to comply. i want to make this clear. the letter from the doj was sent specifically to the school districts, not to the department of education, which is very peculiar. we were on the phone earlier today with the spokesman for the state department of education, michael sibley. he's saying tomorrow the numbers that will come out do comply with what doj is asking for. without really being asked. what they are saying is they'll release numbers. average daily membership numbers. these lists may not really give a good look at what the doj is asking for because the state department of education mentions that students of immigrant parents often don't officially withdraw from schools, erin. they're often just -- they leave without going t

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

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
