Penn State assistant coach Mike McQueary took the stand Tuesday to testify against former football coach Jerry Sandusky, who is charged with 52 counts of child sex abuse.  McQueary's testimony, the trial's first eyewitness account, described finding Sandusky in the team's shower with a young boy and engaging in anal sex.  He described the 2001 encounter as finding Sandusky pressed against the boy, creating "skin-on-skin slapping sounds."  

The testimony is considered a centerpiece in the state's case against Sandusky.  McQueary's testimony followed a "halting, crying" testimony of a man identified as "Victim 1."  The 18-year-old who launched the investigation wept on stand as he revealed to jurors how Sandusky allegedly performed oral sex on him at age 12.
