PITTSBURGH -- The mother of the alleged victim who set off the sex abuse investigation at Penn State University say she is disgusted by Jerry Sandusky's recent interview in which he says he's not a pedophile.

In an exclusive interview with ABC News, the mother, whose identity was protected, said the former coach coming forward to brush off the alleged child rapes won't help his case.

Sandusky is charged with sexually abusing eight boys over a 15-year span, with several of the alleged assaults occurring on Penn State property.

Athletic director Tim Curley and Penn State vice president Gary Schultz are charged with perjury. Legendary football coach Joe Paterno and university president Graham Spanier were fired for not doing enough after Sandusky was accused of assaulting a young boy in the showers of the campus football complex in 2002.

In a recent television interview, Sandusky said that he's "just a jock" who was "horsing around" with the young boys while showering with them on campus.

In response to the alleged victims who said he sexually assaulted them, Sandusky said he's innocent and not sexually attracted to young boys.

The mother, who said she used to trust her son was safe when spending the night at Sandusky's home, said she is now repulsed by his words.

"It sickened me, that he would be on TV, trying to downplay his charges. And I think it made him look more guilty," the woman said.
