right now he's waiting to go on trial in three criminal cases alleging that he sexually molested nine girls. he's pleaded not guilty to those accusation accusations. the "me, too," movement began after actresses accused harvey weinstein of rape, assault, and sexual harassment. the movement encourages women to speak up if they are victims of harassment or sex assault. since then, countless women across the country have posted "me, too" on their social media pages. the weinstein scandal has prompted actress reese witherspoon to talk about her own experiences. during the "elle" women in hollywood awards, the oscar winner said a director assaulted her when she was 16 years old. she did not name the director. witherspoon said she regrets not speaking up the experience sooner. ex-penn state football coach jerry sandusky says he deserves a new trial. today around noon, we'll find out if a judge agrees with him. sdausk says his lawyers did not

adequately represent him when a jury convicted him back in 2012 of molesting ten boys. if sandusky does get a new trial, court observers suspect he will try to get released on bail. 16 inmates are responsible for killing a corrections officer during a riot in f february at the maximum security prison. the inmates are charged with murder in the death of lieutenant steven floyd. the delaware department of justice unsealed a total of 18 indictments yesterday. according to prosecutors, the inmates kidnapped floyd and several other prison workers in an attempt to demand better treatment. nbc10 spoke to the wife of a corrections officer who tells us despite charges against the inmates and changes at the prison, she's still worried for her husband's safety. >> there's been a couple of things that we've been hearing about the inmates wanting to do something similar again. i just tell him, just do what

you do. my husband has been deployed overseas many times. he has a different perspective from a lot of ceos there. >> the office of defense services says it will provide representation for the nine inmates involved. nine of the men indict read already convicted -- indicted are already convicted killers. attorneys for lieutenant floyd's family and the other prison workers taken hostage at the vaughn correctional facility have had no comment on the matter. today students in south jersey will begin classes at a temporary location as school staff deals with a mold problem. whitehall elementary students will report to williamstown middle school this morning. administrators worked out a plan to accommodate the students. faculty, staff, students, and local businesses donated money to help with supplies for the kids. meantime, a philadelphia school that has been dealing with its own mold problems will reopen today. students at john b. kelly elementary in germantown will return to class this morning. the school has been closed since thursday when traces of mold were found in the school's
