We don’t know either way, but the mother of victim 1’s tale of her son crying at the sight of Jerry Sandusky doesn’t ring true.
I say this as a victim who deals with victims.
My first impression too.
I don’t know how old this kid is now, but I would think he’s big enough now to go punch Sandusky’s lights out.
Maybe she’s substituting some inappropriate words for the most descriptive ones. Perhaps she described him as crying because she couldn’t say, “My son was aggrieved by his insouciance.”
Of course it isn’t reported that he cried “at the sight of Jerry Sandusky” but that he cried “when he heard accused child molester Jerry Sandusky claim on television they were just ‘horsing around.’”
Difference - enough of a difference to make it more credible to you? I don’t know. But there is a significant difference in crying at the sight of someone and crying because of what they say to the entire world about you.
“Her son was 10 or 11 when he first met Sandusky in 2005 or 2006, and the former coach lavished presents on him, including clothing, a computer, cash and trips, the grand jury report claims. It also charges Sandusky with molesting the boy more than 20 times.”
He’s 15-17 now.
