BELLEFONTE, Pa., Feb. 14 (UPI) -- The mother of three grandchildren of former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky said he should not have access to them while awaiting trial.
Jill Thomas, Sandusky's former daughter-in-law, said in a statement that psychologists who had treated her 5-year-old son "could not rule out that Jerry Sandusky was grooming him for sexual abuse," the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
"I cannot understand how a court could place the desires of someone who is criminally charged with sexually abusing children above the safety of children," Thomas said. "I will continue my fight to protect them in hopes that at some point, someone in a position of authority will do what is necessary."
Her statement came after Judge John M. Cleland issued a pretrial order Monday approving visits between Sandusky and eight of his 11 grandchildren.
But Cleland said he would leave decisions on visits with Thomas' three children children to the judge in the custody case. Thomas is in a custody dispute with her ex-husband, Sandusky's son Matt.
An attorney appointed to represent the interests of the three children recommended they be allowed to visit Sandusky under strict restrictions, the Inquirer said.
Joseph Amendola, Sandusky's attorney, accused Thomas of trying to use the criminal charges against his client to strengthen her custody claim.
Sandusky has denied charges he sexually abused 10 boys he met through his Second Mile charity. He faces 52 felony and misdemeanor counts.
