Fine’s accuser admits he lied

A prison inmate who was one of four men to accuse former Syracuse University assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine of sexual abuse when they were children has admitted that he made up his claim.

The accuser, Floyd
VanHooser, wrote in a letter that he lied to police and in December interviews with The Associated Press and The Post-Standard newspaper of Syracuse. He said he wanted to get back at Fine, because he did not hire a lawyer to help VanHooser fight a criminal conviction.

Fine had helped raise the 56-year-old VanHooser after his parents died.
