Jerry Sandusky could be in jail a little longer.

The former Penn State assistant football coach accused of sexually abusing 10 boys over the course of several years already is serving a 30-to-60-year prison sentence, but a new break in the case could benefit one man previously denied the opportunity to press charges.

Centre County Judge Thomas Kistler is taking another glance at a man's allegations against Sandusky, The Associated Press reported. Judge Kistler ruled Wednesday that the alleged victim's statute of limitations had not yet expired.

The accuser, 43, is a Massachusetts native and filed a claim stating Sandusky sexually abused him during a 1988 Penn State football camp. When the initial incident occurred, the accuser didn't tell the police. He waited until Sandusky was arrested in 2011.

"Obviously, we're very excited," Dan Kiss, the alleged victim's attorney, told The AP.

Sandusky, though, apparently won't go down without a fight.

"I can assure you that he will vigorously defend the charges," Sandusky's attorney, Al Lindsay, said.

The attorney general's office told The AP that Judge Kistler's decision is under review.
