He is now free on bail.


While the corporate media fall all over themselves making excuses for why these tragic crimes were not reported, when they went on for more than 15 years, the fact remains that there is one set of rules for the rich and powerful and another set of rules for the rest of us.

This concept has destroyed the foundation of justice in this country.

What was the bail set at??

They knew.

Which I presume is your point and with which I agree totally.

This creature seems to be denying all. When it sinks in - he will be GONE. Either by using money and ped. connections to escape (Thailand?) or suicide.

I want and need him to SUFFER for a long time.

Does everyone have an opportunity to pay bail and stay out of jail until their trial?

Those who are determined to be either a flight risk or dangerous are denied bail. This guy is both and given a bail option, which he took. Unreal.

before he decides to end it all.

Then the full truth will be harder to discover... The more that's discovered, so does the scope of the civil litigation that will follow.

Especially if the corruption does go up the food chain to major donors. His life value just went into NEGATIVE territory.

his passport should have been confiscated, as part of his bail agreement. Can't stop him from running, but they should have made it harder for him to do so.

seriously

i think so too.

It would save the taxpayers of PA a lot of money.

If the authorities are at all interested in trying to get the full story he'd be locked up and under medical supervision right now.

You are so right. He should not be out on bail. More effort should be made to find out all the facts. This whole thing makes me so upset. There will never be justice for those kids.

Which one doesn't belong as an option for Sandusky?

You are exactly right.

transporting a minor over state lines for sexual purposes

Why not say life without parole.

Suppose for instance that the law doesn't allow for life without parole for a given charge, but the number and severity of said charges merit it. So the prosecutor "stacks" charges and goes for consecutive sentences. Then even if the law says someone gets a parole hearing after they've served half of their sentence, it would still be 230 years.

There is no way in hell he could be among the general population of a prison.

isn't in solitary. in fact, he says he has lots of friends inside.

Cons can live with that-it's just money, a bigger and better rip-off than the bank robbers do. He robbed the bank from the inside. Cons can respect the ingenuity of a good scam. Nobody died directly, and his victims are all on the outside

Child molestation, especially if the victims were poor or minority, is another matter. Some of the old coach's victims might have compensated by going to the other side of the law, either through joining a gang or drugs. Not to mention relatives or friends. Nobody respects a child molester, not even other child molestors.

From what I understand, child molesters in prison are considered to be lower than snake shit.

the 10 year old boy that he raped.

and I'm guessing he doesn't want to be since he has not come forward.

His identity and testimony isn't necessary as there are already quite a number of victims willing to testify. The priority should be the mental and emotional well-being of this (now) young man, and therefore, he should be permitted to come forward or not as he chooses.

Let's not be forgetting the needs of the victims here in the desire to punish Sandusky.

that is a light sentence.

peers or a panel of judges. No, I am not suggesting that he is probably innocent. But being that there have been many cases where accusations and indictments did not always pan out, I would find it prudent to wait and see before we hang him from the highest tree. Maybe he is guilty of everything in the Grand Jury indictment. Maybe he is guilty of far more than what can be found in the indictment. Maybe he is guilty of some of the accusations, but not all of them. Though unlikely and unpopular to suggest something that sounds so implausible, if he did for some unexplainable reason turn out to be innocent of everything in the Grand Jury indictment - It wouldn't be the first time such a thing has happened. Call me old fashioned and square, but I would like to wait until all the facts have been carefully, dispassionately and impartially examined before I reach any absolute conclusions.

He ADMITTED it! They even got it on tape! Read the grand jury report - pages 16-18. Everyone involved knew he was guilty. They knew he was a pedophile! That was in 1958. Penn State asked the Centre County DA to drop the case. When the 58 football season was over, after a spring of'59 bowl game in Texas, Paterno told him he was no longer going to succeed Paterno as head coach, as had been promised to him, and he was forced to "retire".

Disgustingly, Penn State/Paterno allowed Sandusky to keep his office, phone & email at Penn State, along with full access to the sports facilities, including the infamous showers, PLUS he was allowed to offer youth football camps on Penn State Branch Campus. In other words Paterno et al allowed this monster to flaunt and benefit from connections with Paterno and Penn State in his continued trolling for young victims for THIRTEEN YEARS!

I hope the civil lawsuits result in Paterno having to pay every penny of his pension to the victims.

and during the 1999 Alamo Bowl, Sandusky is alleged to have diddled yet another young boy :eyes: , thereby exposing him to criminal charges in Texas, where there wouldn't be anyone to cover up for him.

him on occasions. But denied anything more than that. This is actually on page 19-20 of the Grand Jury Report:
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/11/06/sports/ncaafootball/20111106-pennstate-document.html

No question that the evidence against Jerry Sandusky sounds very incriminating. But indictments are not determinations of guilt. What "everybody knows" or knew are not determinations of guilt. Of course, given the scale of evidence, I would have to say that he is probably guilty. But what we have not had is an impartial and dispassionate review of all the evidence and all the testimony from a judge or a jury and/or any other legal body. Given that there have been numerous times in which indictments and accusations have turned out to be less than completely true; sometimes not true at all, sometimes partly true. Sometimes the truth was worse than the indictment. This might be one of those times. But as of now, we just don't know.

Even in the unlikely event nothing untoward took place, that's sick & creepy!

1) He admitted to "hugging" the boy naked in the shower, which is, of course, a sexual assault. But he did not portray it as a sexual assault. That's little different than a full confession. This is a crucial point, I think, unless you want to lump the State college and University Police detective in on some cover-up. The Grand Jury did not want to do that, and did not.

2) You have no evidence that Penn State asked Gricar to drop the case. There is no evidence of that whatsoever. The head of the PSU University police told the University police detective that the case was over when Gricar decided not to pursue it, but Gricar's decision itself is mysterious, and there is certainly no evidence that the University caused Gricar to do anything. That's just false as far as we know. Perhaps other evidence will come out on this point, but there is no clear evidence for why Gricar decided not to pursue the case at this point. Indeed, it's one of the great mysteries of this case thus far, since the phone conversations, as you point out, do seem damning for at least Inappropriate Contact charges.

has been answered below.

Don't they say that others in jail, for major serious shit, don't like child molesters?

They took care of that freak that was killing little boys, a few years ago...Try this perv,
send him off to the general prison populace and let them take care of things.

but not like he will survive behind bars.

WHY WHY WHY is it that pedophiles that go after boys get CONSTANT PRESS EXPOSURE, and pedophiles that go after little girls GET ALMOST NO PRESS AT ALL? The majority of pedophiles abuse little girls. I'd love an answer to that.

Never saw anywhere say which the majority of pedos go after.

Meanwhile, the majority of molested children, are girls, and that I can probably research for you, tho I'm sure you can probably dig it up a lot faster than I can.

I certainly hear many stories of girls being molested on the news.

Usually girls are molested within a "family" setting. Incest, or a stepfather/boyfriend of a mother. Most of the abuses in the Catholic Church have been boys, and obviously there's a widespread scandal there.

Think about it.

Also:

"The Third National Incidence Study of Child Abuse and Neglect (NIS-3) revealed that in America, girls’ risk of abuse was 33% higher than that of boys. The difference was due to girls’ increased risk of sexual abuse. Girls experienced sexual abuse at more than three times the rate that boys did (Sedlak & Broadhurst, 1996)."

If there was a widespread scandal of men molesting young girls it wouldn't be a big story? Are you trying to say it wouldn't?

I see stories all the time about sexual abuse of girls and boys.....none of them make national news.

The fact is, the majority of abuse in the Catholic Church (which is the ongoing scandal) has been against boys. The Penn State scandal involved boys. I don't know what can be done about that to create "balance" if that's what you want. It's all disgusting, and I don't see the reason to politicize it.

And it makes me fume that when it's GIRLS abused, the abuse doesn't go on endlessly for weeks and months. When it's BOYS, watch out, there will be no other news on the media but that.

And that, is my point. I kinda thought I'd made it clear before.

are abused, which make their way into statistics, what are they? Chopped liver?

I get it. We know you don't think men can be sexually harassed. Now you are up in arms because a scandal involving a prominant institution happens to involve boys as victims. The facts can't be changed. It's a big case because it involves a major academic institution, and if young girls were involved it would be just as big.

The bottom line is that one of the reasons young boys are in more danger of being involved in a widespread molestation scandal (PLEASE READ THOSE WORDS, NOT SAYING BOYS ARE MOLESTED MORE THAN GIRLS) is that we still shield them less from men who are coaches, scout leaders, priests......most people would not feel comfortable allowing their young daughter to be coached or mentored by an adult male. Of course, cases like this remind us why no child is safe.

The difference was due to girls’ increased risk of sexual abuse. Girls experienced sexual abuse at more than three times the rate that boys did (Sedlak & Broadhurst, 1996).

Just said 1 out of 4 girls will be sexually abused, 1 out of 6 boys.

240 Years, no time off for any purpose.

There.

If they put him in the general population he won't last long, as bad as many are in prison they see child predators as the lowest of the low and tend to take matters into their own hands.

There are plenty of enablers who should do time as well.

Who has protected him since 1998 and why?

fuckers!

I guarantee he takes the cowards way out.

If this has been happening over the last 15 years, these 'young boys' are grown up. Why aren't any of them coming forward. Surely one or more should be talking at this point. Is it about Shame? I think so. Women who have been raped come forward ... but when it is young boys/men getting raped or molested .. it is forbidden to talk about it.

Thus the indictments.

They've talked to the grand jury -- six of them, anyway, as the other two described in eye witness accounts have not been identified. Who do you think they should be talking to?

"Women who have been raped come forward ... but when it is young boys/men getting raped or molested .. it is forbidden to talk about it."

Well, there are unfortunate dynamics of personal and public shame at work in those situations as well.

Not too good for their life expectancy, perhaps. If it'd been the janitor as someone had suggested, maybe. But these guys were treated like gods and their followers might have killed them for blasphemy. They could see they were regarded as dirt.

It's going to be rough times ahead as he'll probably get first hand experience what he did to all those little kids. Or, he'll spend the rest of his life in protective custody and be in solitary 23 hr/day. Not much to look forward to. At least he'll have protection which is more than his victims had.

We'll never know how many kids Sandusky hurt.

His being out on bail just goes to show how little the justice system really thinks of victims of rape when the perpetrator is a rich, white male.

for child sexual abuse. This was relatively recently (last 10-15 years) adjudicated by SCOTUS, and it is allowed.

Apparently he may have done this to a child in Texas, he could be in for more than jail time.

would be an appropriate sentence IMO.

Should the Feds waterboard Jerry Sandusky to find out who the wealthy donors are?

Amy Hubbard reports in the LA Times blogs:





As noted elsewhere, this judge must fancy herself as a new colleague of Scalia, Thomas, Roberts and Alito.


And Lady Justice mourns.
