Anderson Cooper spoke with Porter about her relationship with Sandusky and what she thinks of the charges against him. When asked what would drive the accusers to claim Sandusky sexually abused them, she answered, "I think money would be a big motivator for them."

Three more accusers took the stand in Jerry Sandusky's child sex abuse trial today. And with each new testimony a disturbing portrait is emerging of how the former Penn State assistant football coach allegedly targeted underprivileged boys and took advantage of them.
Alleged victim 3 told the jury today Sandusky "gave me things that I had never had before. ... I loved him."
He testified he was part of Sandusky's Second Mile program and stayed overnight more than 50 times at the coach's home from 1998 to 2001.
"He'd jump into bed with me, start tickling me, blowing on my stomach and pelvis. He would also, at times, touch my penis."
The man, now 25, says he also showered with Sandusky after workouts.
"He would get me to move closer to him, where he would wash my shoulders, my butt, my back," alleged victim 3 said.
Like alleged victim 3, alleged victim 6 was 11 years old in 1998. He also testified today about showers he took at Penn State after workouts with Sandusky. "I remember seeing his chest hair right in my face, and thinking, 'This is icky.'" Sandusky said he was the "tickle monster," the man recounted.
