Greg Schiano, who served as an assistant coach at Penn State in the early 1990s, denies he was ever aware of Jerry Sandusky's child molestation.

"I never saw any abuse, nor had reason to suspect any abuse, during my time at Penn State," Schiano said Tuesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Schiano, who is now the defensive coordinator at Ohio State, and current UCLA defensive coordinator Tom Bradley were alleged to have been aware of Sandusy's abuse in documents unsealed by a Pennsylvania court earlier Tuesday.

In a statement put out Tuesday afternoon by his representative, Bradley also denied having any knowledge of Sandusky's abuse:

At no time did Tom Bradley ever witness any inappropriate behavior. Nor did he have any knowledge of alleged incidents in the '80s and '90s. He has consistently testified as such. Any assertions to the contrary are false. When he became aware of the 2001 incident it had already been reported to the University administration years earlier.

Former Penn State assistant Mike McQueary testified In a deposition from an insurance case in 2015 that Bradley told him Schiano said he witnessed Sandusky touching a boy in the shower, saying: "I can't remember if it was one night or one morning, but that Greg had come into his office white as a ghost and said that he just saw Jerry doing something to a boy in the shower. And that's it. That's all he ever told me."
