Spotted at the Sandusky trial: Pedobear.

Someone donning a costume to look like the ironic pedophile mascot held a "press conference" around 12:30 p.m. outside the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte, Pa., according to Deadspin.

Ben Jones, a reporter for StateCollege.com, snapped this TwitPic:

The fuzzy bear started popping up on websites years ago as a way to mock people who wrote disturbing messages about children. But in some cases, police have interpreted the Pedobear as a code used by self-identifying pedophiles.

Court in the Jerry Sandusky trial is recessed until tomorrow for closing arguments.

Check back for a complete wrap-up on the final day of testimony.
