Video: US attorney takes lead in coach investigation



>> the attorney's office has taken the lead in the child sex abuse investigation of the former syracuse university assistant basketball coach. fine was fired sunday night after a third man accused him of molestation. the latest come after the release of a recorded phone conversation said to be between one of the alleged vehicles and fine's wife. during the call they discussed the alleged abuse. the man said he experienced as a ball boy . darren rovell has more. they are taking over and looking for any possible victims they can bring charges on fine this time around. i want to play the tape between bobby davis and fine's wife. let's take a listen.

>> i don't know everything that went on. i know everything that went on with him. maybe canny are not aware of it, but he had issues. barney is also in denial. i think that they did the things he did.

>> the only one that he had ever dwn it to?

>> no. i think there might have been others, but --

>> this was obtained by espn and it happened in 2002 . is this why we saw fine be fired?

>> i think so. obviously we had multiple investigations. espn and the local paper and syracuse have been investigating for a long time. couldn't really wrap it up. this was enough for syracuse university to say they had just cause. someone like his wife and obviously espn put it out after they can id bernie fine 's wife had said what she said about him. that was deemed just cause. the question now is, is he next?

>> that is the question. you have been tweeting on this. this is the next shoe to drop. you are talking child abuse here.

>> right. obviously i'm dealing with the business of sports and that has nothing to do with what's going on from how horrible the facts might be. jim might have not known about this, but it doesn't really matter. a lot of people think that his comments when this first came out where he essentially called the accusers liars and extortionists trying to get money from syracuse and bernie fine or whoever based on the penn state situation. that i think a lot of people think is a disgusting enough thing and just cause to fire him. it doesn't have to hold the same burden and standard that penn state thought it had where joe paterno and the coach didn't have enough or didn't do enough when he was presented with what he was. this is a question that will be up to them to decide. i think whether they think it's right for a long time and probably had as much power.

>> you mentioned the school chancellor and the tape was never provided to the school. it took place six years ago when they did their investigation. we will see what happens next. thank you very much, darren. coming up, a critical
