The alleged victims in former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky’s sexual abuse case sought a court order to shield their identities during his trial, scheduled to start on June 5.

Lawyers for victims, identified in a grand jury report as victims 3, 4, 5 and 7, asked state court Judge John M. Cleland to prevent disclosure of their names in open court and to allow them to use a pseudonym, according to court papers filed today in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania.
