Syracuse’s story is much different than Penn State’s, but they’re both disturbing nonetheless. Bernie Fine is no longer with Syracuse, and may not face charges after all.
A county district attorney who at first sharply criticized police and Syracuse University for their handling of sex-abuse allegations against an assistant basketball coach said Wednesday that he cannot bring charges but found that two men who accused the coach of sexual abuse are credible.
Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said he will not pursue a state case because the statute of limitations has passed. He said his investigation into the claims against fired coach Bernie Fine started out to answer several questions, among them: Were the first two accusers, Bobby Davis and his stepbrother Michael Lang, being truthful?
“On almost every single criteria, Bobby Davis came out as a credible person,” the district attorney said. “Mike Lang also comes across as a credible person.”
