BELLEFONTE, Pa., June 13 (UPI) -- One of Jerry Sandusky's alleged victims testified about a relationship with the ex-Penn State coach that included football tickets and unwanted sexual advances.

The 27-year-old witness identified only as Victim No. 7 told the jury in Bellefonte, Pa., Wednesday he was repeatedly molested by Sandusky in the 1990s after meeting the one-time assistant coach through his Second Mile charity.

He said the abuse eventually faded as Sandusky allegedly turned his attention to other boys, whom he assumed were "favorites" of Sandusky.

Sandusky, 68, has denied charges he abused at least 10 boys during a 15-year span.

Victim No. 7 testified he would still receive tickets now and then from Sandusky; however, the experience left him badly shaken.

"To this day I'm sort of repulsed by chest hair," he said. "I remember looking at it -- feeling it pressed up against my back. For some reason it just made me hate it."

Victim No. 7 testified Wednesday after John McQueary, the father of assistant coach and star prosecution witness Mike McQueary, the Centre Daily Times said.

The elder McQueary, 68, testified his son told him about seeing Sandusky allegedly molesting children in the shower room of a Penn State facility and he had no doubts about his son's veracity.

The father said his son said something to the effect of, "It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what was going on."
