i know i cringed up and didn't want it to happen and was very, like, what's going on? i just remember it being, disgusted in a sense, but that's when everything -- when he started to touch me, my privates. >> davis says the abuse took place at fine's home. syracuse basketball facilities, even road trips including the 1987 final four. the reason why this is coming out is because there is now a parent cooperation. a second alleged victim has come forward, and he is davis' older stepbrother, mike lang. he said fine touched it him inappropriately back had he was in the fifth or sixth grade. >> when he first did it, he would move away and didn't want to say anything, because, you know, you didn't feel like you were capable of saying anything. he's a gd to you you know? he can do whatever he wants, but not with me. i didn't feel right about it, and i told him that, bernie, please don't do that to me and then he'd do it again and again, and -- >> now, the first alleged victim, bobby davis, meanwhile, says he first alerted syracuse university officials about six years ago back in 2005. university said it immediately launched its own nearly four-month investigation and that everyone else involved denied the story and syracuse police decided not to pursue the case because the statute of limitations had expired. in a statement released last night, syracuse university said in light of the new allegations and a syracuse city police investigation, they asked dr. daryl grose to place associate head coach bernie fine on administrative leave and jim boeheim released a statement saying bernie has my full support. fine has been part ever the syracuse basketball program for some 35 year. it's the longest streak of consecutive seasons in convince 1 men's basketball and fine was inducted into the greater syracuse hall of fame just last month. a lot of people may be asking, is it just a coincidence that the older stepbrother is now coming forward to corroborate the story? mike lang's second alleged victim says that, no, he saw what was happening to jerry sandusky at penn state and decided now was finally the time to come out. meanwhile, the head coach of syracuse says, it's a bunch of 1,000 lies that he has told. you don't think it's a little funny that his cousin is coming forward? he says that he believes these victims are now coming forward again because they want money. either way, obviously, explosive allegations. >> interesting to know more details of the story. i know we don't have them all, but -- because he's a stepbrother, right? did they discuss it as children? now that they're adults, his p stepbrother went to police -- >> assumed he went forward before going to cnn. >> initially -- >> that's this time around. >> it is unclear whether they spoke about it. nonetheless it is, as i mentioned, explosive. >> the statute of limitations. has had really run out? why is syracuse city police now investigating when they wouldn't investigate all those years ago? >> they said because of the statute of limitation, now because there is a parent corroboration. another victim coming forward, they have decided to reopen the investigation. so, they are looking into it. >> thanks, alina cho. we're also learning the alleged sexual abuse by former penn state assistant coach jerry sandusky may have stretched for decades. they're representing more potential victim, some claiming abuse that dates back to the 1970s. our susan candy odd candkand cae in state college, pennsylvania. >> reporter: good morning. every since jerry sandusky was released on bail 13 days ago. prosecutors said they would expect more possible victims to come forward and they have. many lawyers are telling cnn they have been getting phone calls and having meetings with other people who say they, too, they claim, that they were raped and molested by jerry sandusky. now, many of these people are tell telling the lawyers they were angry, and that's why they came forward after hearing sandusky's denial one many called disturbing and angry by suggestion of sandusky's lawyer, perhaps many of coming forward simply because they want to try to make money from this. in the meantime, the wall of secrecy continues on the part of penn state with, as more people want to learn more about what went on during the years leading up to the arrest of jerry sandusky and all of these resignations that have been happening. by contrast, the high school where alleged victim number one attended here in this area has been credited by authorities for at least once they heard about this allegation for reporting it very quickly to police, however, the mother of that alleged victim said she also was not too happy with the school about them allowing sandusky to bring her boy out of classes to meet with him privately, where he was acting as a volunteer coach, and she also said that the principal of the school told her she might want to think twice, even though the principal was disturbed by the allegations, about the mother coming forward, because, after all, the principal told the mother, that jerry sandusky has a heart of gold. well, we went to the school to try to get more answers from them. we didn't get them. take a look. i'm susan candiotti from cnn. >> may we help you?
