Zach Tomaselli, who is set to begin a 39-month prison sentence for sexually abusing a 13-year-old boy in Maine, said his tale about being molested in 2002 in a Pittsburgh hotel room while on a trip with the basketball team was fabricated by Bobby Davis.

Tomaselli's allegations came shortly after Davis and his stepbrother, Mike Lang, revealed to ESPN in November that they were allegedly molested by Fine while working as ball boys for the team in the 1980s.

Davis and Lang have filed a defamation lawsuit against Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim for initially stating that the two men were lying and motivated by money.

The 66-year-old Fine was fired by Syracuse in late November, but has maintained all of the allegations are false.

Of course, the whole thing is still pretty sordid...Fine and his wife were quite the pair.
