Another univeristy affected by sexual abuse allegations


In the wake of the sexual abuse allegations that side-swiped Penn State, other child molestation allegations have hit Syracuse University.

A couple of weeks ago, Bobby Davis, who is now 39, came forward and accused Bernie Fine, Syracuse assistant basketball coach of molesting him as a young boy.

In the following weeks, 2 other alleged victims have come forward making the same accusations against Fine. The other two being Mike Lang, 45, Davis' stepbrother, who says he was molested as a child into his adulthood and Zach Tomaselli, 23, a boy from Maine who claims he was molested by Fine in 2002 at a hotel in Pittsburgh while on a road trip with the team. Ironically, Tomaselli is currently facing sexual assault charges in Maine involving a 14-year-old boy.

This past Sunday, ESPN aired a taped phone call between Davis and Laurie Fine, wife of Bernie Fine, who Davis also claims to have been sexually invloved with when he was 18. The phone call reveals that she was fully aware of her husband's transgressions involving Davis and suspected that he wasn't the only victim.
