Hearing the first victim to take the witness stand against Jerry Sandusky helped push the former Penn State coach's adopted son Matthew to come forward with his own allegations of abuse, he said in a television interview. Matthew Sandusky said in a Thursday broadcast of ''Oprah Prime'' that he recognized elements of his own abuse when he sat through testimony by a young man described in court as Victim 4, someone he knew better than any of the other seven who testified at the trial. Sandusky was convicted of various types of abuse involving 10 boys, including all eight who testified. ''But his story isn't his story - it's my story,'' Matthew Sandusky told Oprah Winfrey about Victim 4.
