Former Penn State University assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky denied Wednesday two new allegations of child abuse that authorities are investigating, his attorney said.

"Jerry has adamantly denied the allegations," said attorney Joseph Amendola, adding that the accusations appear to be part of "a very nasty divorce and custody battle."

The investigations were opened by Children and Youth Services in Pennsylvania, sources close to the investigation said Tuesday. In Pennsylvania, cases of alleged child abuse reported by an alleged victim who is an adult are strictly police matters, even if the alleged offenses occurred when that person was a child.

Children and Youth Services participates in the investigation only if the alleged victim is still under 18.

Costas: Yes.

Sandusky: Sexually attracted? No, I enjoy young people. I love to be around them. I...but no, I'm not sexually attracted to young boys.
