As ex-Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky battles to overturn his child-sex convictions and get out of prison, his adopted 41-year-old son is behind bars, facing charges that he tried to solicit nude photos and oral sex from two teenage sisters.



Jeffrey S. Sandusky's requests were rebuffed by both underage girls, who reported the alleged conduct to their parents, state police at Rockview said in documents filed when the younger Sandusky was arrested Monday.



The arrest affidavit filed with District Judge Kelley Gillette-Walker of Bellefonte, indicates that no sexual contact occurred between Jeffrey Sandusky and the girls.

The girls' ages were redacted from the charging documents filed with the magisterial district judge, but a release from state police at Rockview lists their ages as 16 and 15 when the crimes allegedly occurred.

Jeffrey Sandusky's lawyer, Lance T. Marshall, couldn't immediately be reached for comment on the 14 criminal charges filed in the case. Jeffrey Sandusky was in Centre County Prison in lieu of $200,000 bail.

"All children have a right to be safe," Centre County District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller said, according to The Associated Press. "We will prosecute this case as aggressively as we do all child abuse cases."

Miller said Sandusky talked to investigators. "He made statements," Miller said to the AP. "I wouldn't classify them necessarily as directly inculpatory, but I don't think they helped him much."

The state Corrections Department said that because of the charges, Jeffrey Sandusky was suspended without pay Monday from employment as a corrections officer at Rockview State Prison, near State College. He had been hired in August 2015.



In arrest documents, Trooper Jay Pollick stated that Jeffrey Sandusky made illegal requests of the girls via text messages in the spring of 2013 and in early March 2016. The police investigation began after the girl identified as Victim 1 in the charging documents reported the messages to her father in November.



According to Pollick, Jeffrey Sandusky told the girl during the March 2016 text exchange that the request he sent her was "not weird because he studied medicine." He also told the girl that "nobody need to know" about it, the trooper wrote.



He said the girl told Jeffrey Sandusky to stop making the requests. Jeffrey Sandusky told her to delete all of his texts so the "none of this (expletive) gets mentioned to anyone or seen by anyone," Pollick wrote.



Jeffrey Sandusky then asked for another picture of the girl, the trooper said. When she refused, Jeffrey Sandusky told her they needed to talk and the she replied, "You did what you did and I'm not going to give you a chance to try and justify it," according to Pollick.



The trooper said the teen also told Jeffrey Sandusky "You literally tried to guilt me into doing it and you even told me specifically what I 'needed' to do. You know who does the? Rapists and abusers. ... I don't know how many times I need to tell you no and to stop before you get it."



Pollick said he viewed those message exchanges.

He said when he interviewed the girls' mother, she said Jeffrey Sandusky told her he was only trying to engage in "role play" to get her daughter off the internet. "Jeffrey Sandusky advised her that he was sorry and didn't remember what he had said and then opened up and advised he knows it was wrong and inappropriate," Pollick wrote.



The trooper said both girls told him they didn't feel safe with Jeffrey Sandusky. The girl identified as Victim 2 in the charging documents said she "has constantly felt that Jeffrey Sandusky has looked at (her) inappropriately," Pollick wrote.



He said the girl also "advised that Jeffrey Sandusky has made sexual comments before ... and stated 'he is always looking at me in weird ways, staring me up and down."

Victim 2 told police Jeffrey Sandusky "had done the same type of thing (to her) several years back," Pollick wrote. He said she also told Jeffrey Sandusky to stop and made him promise never to do it again. She didn't save those text messages and didn't tell her mother because she "didn't want to put that on her mother's plate and cause her additional stress."



Jeffrey Sandusky is charged with counts of solicitation to statutory sexual assault, solicitation to involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, solicitation to photographing sexual acts, unlawful contact with a minor, solicitation to sexual abuse of children and corruption of minors.



A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Feb. 22.

This story was updated to note that police said the victims were 15 and 16 when the crimes occurred.

Jerry Sandusky, a former Penn State assistant football coach, was convicted in 2012 of 45 counts of child sexual abuse involving boys he met through a children's charity he'd founded.
