Bad as things are now, just remember that in the not too distant past, Jerry Sandusky

would have gone to his grave without trial or imprisonment, probably without public accusation.

As I'm sure many others did. At least now this sort of abuse isn't just being swept up under the rug.

This Sandusky thing - while horrific - is just but a minor blip of an much bigger problem.

As for the Roman Church, THAT horrible, filthy, subversive organization should have been taken down a long time ago.

the Sandusky thing is very similar to a story from the Red Sox organization not too long ago. Child abuse on the scale of Sandusky isn't new which is why there are so many similar patterns in the story and other stories. I think the difference is more DA that are willing to address the situation. Heck look at the early work of Freud. There seemed to be so many patients with childhood sexual abuse he convinced himself that they couldn't be real.
