SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Federal agents have searched the campus office of former Syracuse assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine as part of the investigation of child molestation allegations against him, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the inquiry.
Fine's office at the Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center was searched early Tuesday morning, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because it's an ongoing investigation.
The U.S. Secret Service already searched Fine's house last Friday.
Federal prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney's office in northern New York, which is leading the investigation, would not say what they sought or found there, saying it was under seal.
The warrant approving the search of his office also was sealed.
Three men, including two former Syracuse ballboys, have accused Fine of molesting them as children. He has denied the allegations.
