This Just In
Sandusky Looks Like an Absolute Monster After Latest Gruesome Testimony
Just when we thought testimony in the Jerry Sandusky trial couldn't possibly get any more disgusting, three more victims took the stand yesterday to describe encounters they allegedly had with Sandusky. And one particular accuser's claims were especially horrific. He said that Jerry Sandusky repeatedly raped him in the basement of his home while he was spending the night there.
And on top of that, he also said that his screams for help went unheard -- even while Sandusky's wife, Dottie, was upstairs. He said he thought the basement must be soundproof, and so he finally backed down and let the encounters happen because he felt like there was nothing he could to to stop them.
He said, "He got real aggressive, and just forced me into it. And I just went with it -- there was no fighting against it."
To make things even more gut-wrenching, the young man (who is now 18), detailed how he was sometimes left bleeding after the incidents with Sandusky. If his story is indeed, true, then I can't even imagine how scared and powerless he must have felt during those horrible times in that basement. And I can't for the life of me understand why his cries would go unanswered.
As for the two other victims -- one surprisingly showed compassion for Jerry Sandusky, saying even though he was fondled by him, he still made him feel loved and accepted.
The third victim also described maintaining a positive relationship with Sandusky over the years, until he finally realized that what happened to him as a boy was inappropriate.
The trial will not resume until next week -- and I shudder to think what else may be revealed, considering how graphic and terrible the accounts have been thus far.
Do you think all of the accusers are telling the truth?

Reading these articles break my heart. I find myself questioning why the boy continued to go to the house but then I remember children do not have logic and reason. I imagine that if they really loved Sandusky and viewed him as a fatherly figure that must have been extremely confusing and makes Sandusky quite possibly one of the most despicable people on the face of the Earth.

Are there any charges against his wife, Dottie? If not, I don't know how there cannot be after this testimony... it's sickening how people can look their accusers in the eye and just boldface lie. Jerry, is one thing, I can't even go there with him in my mind... but his wife, really? Makes you wonder what else was going on in that home. She needs to be charged with something for letting it go on - no way she didn't know. Ridiculous!

Of course I believe all these young men are telling the truth and I feel his wife should be sharing a side by side cell. She's as guilty as he is if you ask me.
These stories are gut wrenching to me and they make me cry when I hear them on the news. These poor kids.

While the horror is unfathomable that these young men endured, what bothers me most is that they knew something was wrong and began investigating in 1999 (some say even before), and there was evidence then, it just stopped in someones office, he was banned from a middle school in 2008! over 3 years ago, this on top of the complaints that were initiated in 1999! How could the people at the charity, the school (PSU) and the local authorities defend this? This helps explain why the kids didn't want to talk about it, report it, they were afraid nothing would happen and they would just suffer more abuse from being called either a liar or that they had something to do with it!
