A man, describing himself as a former child prostitute, claimed to have had sex with a football coach who belonged to a pedophile ring which included Jerry Sandusky.

Greg Bucceroni, now 48, said he was paid for sex as a teenager by former Brooklyn Poly Prep coach Phil Foglietta in 1979.

Foglietta, who is now dead, has been accused of raping and assaulting students at the New York prep school over a 20-year period. 

In a letter sent to authorities at Poly Prep this week, Bucceroni said he met Foglietta as a teenager through Second Mile charity in Pennsylvania.

The organization was started by Sandusky and used as a cover for the years of sexual abuse he inflicted on vulnerable boys.

Bucceroni described himself as a 'child prostitute' who was used by a pedophile ring including Sandusky, Foglietta, now-deceased Philadelphia businessman Ed Savitz and former Wharton School of Business professor Lawrence Scott Ward,

Ward is currently in jail for smuggling child porn. Savitz was charged with sexual abuse in 1992 but died of AIDS before his trial was due to begin.

Bucceroni wrote in the letter that for three years he was abused by a pedophile ring in the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
