( CNN ) -- One of the victims Jerry Sandusky was convicted of sexually abusing has filed a lawsuit against Penn State University , accusing the school of concealing the abuse . Attorneys for the boy the grand jury identified as `` Victim 1 '' filed the lawsuit Friday , claiming the university was more concerned with `` protecting the reputation and commercial viability of its football program '' than rooting out a sexual predator of children . It further accused ousted Penn State President Graham Spanier , head football coach Joe Paterno , and former administrators Tim Curley and Gary Schultz of knowing that `` Sandusky was a dangerous , sociopathic sexual predator who had previously raped , sodomized , and/or otherwise seriously harmed young boys on the Penn State campus , and who was substantially likely to continue to engage in similar conduct in the future . '' The plaintiff was identified as 18-year-old `` John Doe C , '' who said during earlier court proceedings that Sandusky had repeatedly performed oral sex on him when he was a minor . Penn State to host sex abuse conference . `` The university takes these cases very seriously but can not otherwise comment on pending litigation , '' school spokesman David La Torre said . `` President Erickson and the Board of Trustees have publicly emphasized that their goal is to find solutions that rest on the principle of justice for the victims . '' Sandusky , a former assistant football coach at the university , was convicted in June of sexually abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period . He continues to maintain his innocence . Former FBI Director Louis Freeh released a 267-page university-funded report last month that blamed Spanier , Paterno , Curley and Schultz for taking part in a cover-up to avoid bad publicity . The report has been criticized for its limited scope : Neither graduate assistant Mike McQueary -- who reported seeing Sandusky abuse one boy -- nor Sandusky or Paterno , who died in January , were interviewed by Freeh 's investigators . Spanier , Curley and Schultz could not be immediately reached for comment Saturday . Curley and Schultz still face felony perjury counts amid accusations of lying to a grand jury and failing to report suspected child abuse . They have pleaded not guilty . Attorneys for Spanier on Wednesday blasted the review , calling it a `` blundering , indefensible indictment '' and `` a flat-out distortion of facts '' that was `` infused with bias and innuendo . ''
Attorneys for the boy the grand jury identified as `` Victim 1 '' filed the lawsuit on Friday . The suit claims that a school district in New York City failed to protect him from sexual abuse by two teachers and administrators at his elementary school.
