BRIAN WILLIAMS, anchor: Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky is back home tonight after spending a night in jail on new child sex abuse charges and this morning posting $250,000 bail. And tonight his wife is coming to his defense. Quote, "As the mother of six children, I've been devastated by these accusations," she says in a written statement. "No child who ever visited our home was ever forced to stay in our basement and fed there," she says about one allegation. "Our children, our extended family and friends know how much Jerry and I love kids and have always tried to help and care for them. We would never do anything to hurt them." End of quote.
