Sandusky was found guilty of 45 counts of child abuse. Did he really expect a different verdict? Apparently, he believes he did nothing wrong and that these children started to have problems only when HE was out of their lives. What a self-righteous prick! After reading the transcripts of the witness testimony, I truly empathize with them and commend them for being courageous and standing up for the truth. It's gut-wrenching to imagine the assaults, the bleeding, their screams for help and their tears in wanting it so badly to stop. They did not know what to do and how to handle that situation. Hopefully they can forgive, heal and move forward, now that justice is served. Two things sadden me. The first is the fact that Mike McQueary did not go above and beyond to reconcile what he witnessed. Had I walked into a locker room and seen a naked man behind a young a boy, heard skin slapping sounds, which was an apparent rape in progress, I would have walked in and beat the gonads out of him. Whether he was the boss, my idol or the King of England would not make a difference, a crime is a crime and should never be ignored. McQueary did not go above and beyond. And it would be years after this initial encounter and many more victims before Sandusky was charged. The second which astonishes me, is the seemingly innocent wife who stands by her husband. If you live with someone and have no clue as to what their inclinations or depravities are, you have a serious problem. I doubt she was unaware. Turning the other way does not resolve, and the worst part is that innocent children suffer and are destined to live a life fighting their demons. Jerry Sandusky is a prime example of a pedophile, someone in power, with a position of authority, who loves and cares because he had his charity reaching out to troubled youth. Sure he cares about no one but himself. Watch out for those people who are eager to be nice to your child. Your child or mine are probably not all that special.
Do you think Dottie Sandusky knew about abuse? Is she somehow responsible or is she just a very clueless wife?
