>> reporter: jerry sandusky again denied charges that he sexually molested children. but has he also given prosecutors frash ammunition that he can use against him?
>> these allegations are false. i didn't do those things. i don't know what to say.
>> reporter: the former penn state defensive coordinator spoke for nearly four hours to the "new york times," his most detailed conversation yet of the conduct that had led prosecutors to file 40 criminal charges against him for allegedly abusing eight children over 13 years. sandusky provided his version of the crucial moment when penn state 's then athletic director , tim curley, confronted him about a 2002 allegation involving a 10-year-old boy in the shower in the school's locker room.
