 All of the alleged victims identified in the child sex charges against disgraced ex-Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky are expected to testify next month in open court, a lawyer for one of the victims told FoxNews.com, despite claims by Sandusky's defense team that some of the victims would recant. 
 
 Slade McLaughlin, one of two Philadelphia-area attorneys representing "Victim One," suggested there was little doubt about the testimony. 
 
 "In ordinary course of things, it would be expected that all victims would testify," McLaughlin said. 
 
 Sandusky is accused of sexually abusing eight young boys over 15 years, allegedly using his charity The Second Mile to find his victims. The grand jury report notes that two of the victims have not been identified despite eyewitness accounts. 
 
 The other six are expected to take the stand at the upcoming hearing set for Dec. 13, including the Clinton County youth known so far only as Victim One. The alleged victim kickstarted the investigation by telling authorities he was being abused by Sandusky, a former defensive coordinator under legendary football coach Joe Paterno. 
 
 The case has engulfed Penn State in scandal over how school officials responded to what they knew about the allegations, and it led to the firing of Paterno and the university's president. Two other school officials were hit with charges of perjury and failure to report allegations of child abuse to authorities as required by law. 
 
 McLaughlin said he and Michael Boni were retained last week by Victim One and have been busy preparing their client for the hearing. The victim, now 18, is still experiencing emotional turmoil over the abuse by Sandusky, McLaughlin said. 
 
 Sandusky's attorney Joseph Amendola has said repeatedly that some of the alleged victims would recant their allegations. He also has said one of the victims cited in the grand jury report would be coming forward with a different story, casting doubt on the allegations involving him. 
 
 Amendola downplayed the upcoming testimony in an email Tuesday to FoxNews.com. 
 
 "We believe there's a significant possibility at least one and perhaps two of the alleged victims may testify no sexual contact occurred between them and Jerry Sandusky," he said, while acknowledging that others likely will claim "sexual acts" or "inappropriate touching" occurred. 
 
 Sandusky has denied the charges against him, though he admitted in a TV interview that he had showered with boys after camp workouts. ||||| Jerry Sandusky's wife testified Tuesday that she remembers most of the men who told a jury that her husband sexually abused them, but she said he never had inappropriate contact with them as boys.

 She also said that the basement where the boys would stay wasn't soundproof, a statement that contradicted one man's testimony that he screamed during an assault but couldn't be heard. 
 
 Defense lawyers called the former Penn State assistant football coach's wife to the witness stand Tuesday after they went after two investigators, suggesting that police shared details among accusers and planted the seeds of the alleged victims' evolving accounts of abuse. 
 
 The jury also heard from a psychologist who testified that Sandusky has a personality disorder that might explain the "creepy" letters he sent to one of his accusers. The defense also offered more testimony touting Jerry Sandusky's reputation as a family man and community stalwart. 
 
 Sandusky is charged with 51 criminal counts related to 10 alleged victims over a 15-year span. He's accused of engaging in illegal sexual contact ranging from fondling to forced oral and anal sex. 
 
 Dottie Sandusky has stood by her husband, posting his bail, accompanying him to court proceedings and issuing a statement in December that proclaimed his innocence and said that accusers were making up their stories. She is not charged in the case. 
 
 In her testimony she said she knew several of the accusers, some well. Some of them, she said, were "clingy" around her husband while another was "charming." Nearly all would stay overnight in the Sandusky home and her husband "would tell them good night," she said. 
 
 One witness testified last week that he was attacked by Jerry Sandusky in the basement of the ex-coach's home and cried out for help when Dottie Sandusky was upstairs. She, however, said the basement was not soundproof and she would have been able to hear shouting if she was upstairs. 
 
 She also rebutted one victim's claim that Sandusky tried to engage in oral sex with him while in a hotel bathroom at the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio, Texas. The man said the assault was interrupted when Dottie Sandusky walked into an adjoining room. 
 
 "They were just standing ... in a hallway kind of thing... they had their clothes on, they were fully clothed," she said. 
 
 The psychologist, Elliot Atkins, told jurors that he diagnosed Sandusky with histrionic personality disorder after talking with the ex-coach for six hours. 
 
 People with the disorder often interact with others in inappropriately seductive ways and don't feel comfortable unless they're the center of attention, Atkins explained. 
 
 "Often these are people who did not have as much success in relationships _ emotional or romantic _ (and) relationships in life," he said, responding to questions from Sandusky lawyer Joe Amendola. 
 
 According to the National Institutes of Health, histrionic personality disorder occurs more often in women than in men. 
 
 Sandusky's attorney is hoping to convince jurors that the disorder could explain his client's letters to the accuser known as Victim 4 and other interaction that prosecutors allege show his grooming of victims. 
 
 A prosecution psychologist, John Sebastian O'Brien II, however, testified that Sandusky was a man who juggled many tasks at once, something not akin to the disorder. 
 
 "I don't see anything in any of that information to suggest he was a person with a personality disorder that caused him any problems," O'Brien said. 
 
 Amendola also questioned two state police investigators about what details they shared during interviews with the alleged victims, in particular with Victim 4. 
 
 Amendola asked retired Cpl. Joseph Leiter if investigators told interviewees about others who had stepped forward. 
 
 "In some of our interviews ... we did tell them," he said. 
 
 Asked why, Leiter said it was to let possible victims know they were not alone. 
 
 "Each of these accusers was very, very seriously injured, and very concerned, and we had told them _ especially prior to going to the grand jury _ that they wouldn't be alone, that there were others," Leiter said. 
 
 Leiter said that did not include sharing individual accusers' recollections of abuse, such as specific sex acts. 
 
 "We never told them what anyone else had ever told us," he said. 
 
 But Amendola later read Leiter portions of an interview transcript in which the investigator told the accuser that others had reported abuse that progressed to oral sex and rape. 
 
 Victim 4, now 28, testified last week that Sandusky sexually abused him in the locker-room showers and in hotels for five years while trying to ensure his silence with gifts and trips to bowl games. 
 
 On the stand, he admitted that he lied to police and his own lawyer about the alleged abuse, saying he had "denied it forever." But he testified calmly and firmly, saying Sandusky performed oral sex on him and sent him "creepy love letters." 
 
 The man's attorney, Ben Andreozzi, also was called to the stand and asked about a discussion he had with investigators during a break in an interview with his client. 
 
 On a difficult-to-hear recording of the discussion, Andreozzi and Leiter can be heard talking about the investigation while the accuser is out of the room. 
 
 Andreozzi acknowledged to jurors that a guilty verdict in Sandusky's trial could have an impact on his client if he files a civil lawsuit, but he told the court that hadn't been decided yet. 
 
 Andreozzi also denied coaching his client on what to say to investigators. 
 
 "He viewed Jerry as a father figure to him. It's been extremely difficult talking about this publicly," Andreozzi said. 
 
 The defense appeared to catch one of the investigators in a lie after recalling him to the stand. 
 
 Trooper Scott Rossman said that he hadn't spoken to Leiter about their testimony after he first left the stand Tuesday, but Leiter said they had talked about it. 
 
 Meanwhile, another witness told jurors she knew Victim 4 through her brother and that he had a reputation for "dishonesty and embellished stories." The woman, who said her brother was the alleged victim's best friend, is an Iraq war veteran who suffered a brain injury before she was discharged. 
 
 The defense also called former New York Jets linebacker Lance Mehl, who played for the Nittany Lions in the 1970s. 
 
 "We all looked up to him as a class act," Mehl said when Amendola asked him about Sandusky's reputation. 
 
 Earlier Tuesday, Amendola told reporters to "stay tuned" to find out if Sandusky would take the stand himself, comparing the case to a soap opera. Asked which soap opera, Amendola initially said "General Hospital," then "All My Children." 
 
 Prosecutors rested their case Monday after presenting 21 witnesses, including eight who said they had been assaulted by Sandusky. The identities of two other alleged victims are unknown to investigators. 
 
 Sandusky's arrest led the university trustees to fire Paterno as coach in November, saying his response to the 2001 report from McQueary showed a lack of leadership. Paterno died of cancer in January. 
 
 By taking the stand, Dottie Sandusky has presumably waived any right not to testify against her husband, one prominent Philadelphia defense lawyer said. 
 
 Spouses can assert spousal immunity to avoid testifying about anything said in confidence to them by their spouse. But Dottie Sandusky has presumably agreed to waive that privilege since she took the stand, lawyer Brian McMonagle said. 
 
 "They're doing that to show he's got a wife, he's normal, kids came over and slept there and there's never a problem," McMonagle said. "They want to paint him as normal as they can. I'm sure she's probably going to be an effective witness in that regard." ||||| BELLEFONTE, Pa. -- Jerry Sandusky's lawyers finished putting on their case Wednesday without calling the former Penn State assistant football coach to the stand to rebut child sex abuse allegations that could put him in prison for the rest of his life. 
 
 The sudden end to the defense's presentation came on the seventh day of the trial, during which the jury heard from eight men -- now aged 18 to 28 -- who said the former coach sexually assaulted them after they met him through the charity he founded. 
 
 Sandusky is charged with 51 criminal counts for alleged abuse of 10 boys over 15 years. He has denied the allegations but acknowledged in interviews following his arrest that he had showered with boys. 
 
 The accusers described for jurors a range of sexual abuse at his hands, from allegations of grooming and fondling to oral sex and forced anal sex that one young man said left him injured. The identities of two other alleged victims are unknown to investigators. 
 
 The defense has suggested the accusers have financial motivations for their claims and were improperly influenced by investigators. It also put on character witnesses who spoke of Sandusky's sound reputation. Sandusky's wife, Dottie, took the stand Tuesday and said she never saw him act inappropriately with the accusers. 
 
 The defense rested after an approximately 40-minute, closed-door meeting involving attorneys, Sandusky and the judge overseeing the case. Under Pennsylvania law, a defendant must waive his right to testify on his own behalf, but it doesn't have to happen in open court. 
 
 Sandusky's lawyer, Joe Amendola, told ABC News earlier in the day that Sandusky wanted to testify but was overruled by his attorneys. 
 
 Amendola hinted last week that Sandusky could testify, but the defense had stayed quiet on the topic until Wednesday. 
 
 The next steps in the trial are jury instructions and then closing arguments set for Thursday morning. 
 
 Earlier Wednesday, the defense sought to undercut testimony from a former graduate assistant who told jurors he saw Sandusky sexually abusing a boy inside a football facility shower more than a decade ago. 
 
 Dr. Jonathan Dranov, a family friend of Mike McQueary, said he spoke to McQueary the night McQueary claimed to have seen Sandusky engaging in a sex act with a boy of about 10. 
 
 Dranov testified that McQueary described hearing "sexual sounds" and seeing a boy in the shower and an arm reach around him and pulling him out of view. McQueary said he made eye contact with the boy and Sandusky later emerged from the showers, Dranov said. 
 
 That account differs from what McQueary told a grand jury that investigated Sandusky and what he told jurors last week. 
 
 McQueary testified he saw Sandusky pressing a boy up against the wall inside the shower, and that he had no doubt he was witnessing anal sex. McQueary's report to his superiors -- and Penn State officials' failure to go to outside law enforcement -- is what ultimately led to the firing of longtime coach Joe Paterno. 
 
 Dranov told the jury that McQueary didn't provide him with a graphic description of what he saw but described hearing sounds he considered sexual in nature. 
 
 "It just seemed to make him upset, so I backed off that," Dranov said. 
 
 When prosecutors asked Dranov to describe McQueary's demeanor, he said the former Penn State starting quarterback was clearly upset. 
 
 "His voice was trembling. His hands were shaking. He was visibly shaken," Dranov said. 
 
 McQueary had testified earlier in the trial that he wasn't "overdescriptive" in his conversation with Dranov, saying he told the doctor that what he saw was sexual, wrong and perverse. 
 
 The morning also featured testimony from more defense character witnesses, including a couple of participants in Sandusky's youth charity, The Second Mile. Prosecutors allege that Sandusky met his alleged victims through The Second Mile, which once was lauded for its efforts to help at-risk children but now appears headed for closure as a result of the scandal. 
 
 One of the former Second Mile participants, David Hilton, said he felt like investigators were trying to coach him into accusing Sandusky. 
 
 "When it got to the second or third time I felt like they wanted me to say something that isn't true," he said. 
 
 The defense has sought to portray investigators as planting the seeds for accusations against Sandusky by sharing details of other alleged victims' claims. 
 
 The defense rested after calling 28 witnesses. 
 
 Before the start of testimony Wednesday, a female juror was excused for an illness and replaced by an alternate, also a woman. 
 
 At the close of the court session, Sandusky attorney Karl Rominger asked Judge John Cleland to dismiss five counts related to so-called Victim 10, a boy never identified by investigators. 
 
 A Penn State janitor reportedly told co-workers he saw the boy being molested by Sandusky in a football team shower. The janitor was not medically competent to testify, but a co-worker took the stand to describe what the man had told him. 
 
 Rominger argued that those charges should be dismissed because there was no evidence to back up the alleged offense date listed in a court document known as the bill of particulars. Prosecutor Frank Fina said the relevant document was not the bill of particulars, but rather the "criminal information," and Cleland allowed him to submit a written response before he would rule on the matter.

– Jerry Sandusky will likely face six of his accusers at an open hearing Dec. 13, their first public confrontation with the former Penn State coach. Despite claims from Sandusky's defense team that some would recant their allegations, an attorney for "Victim One" tells Fox News that all six of the alleged victims who have been identified are expected to testify. Two other victims remain unidentified. "Victim One," who initiated the investigation in 2008 and is now 18, is being prepared for the hearing, his attorney says. But Sandusky's attorney downplayed the testimony, telling Fox News, "We believe there's a significant possibility at least one and perhaps two of the alleged victims may testify no sexual contact occurred between them and Jerry Sandusky." Sandusky could still waive his right to an open hearing, the Wall Street Journal notes.
