Sandusky horror story continues to get more disturbing

**SNIP**
Sandusky got out of jail for free.
An unsecured bond is merely a promise -- that's all Sandusky had to give, a promise -- that the defendant will show up in court. If he doesn't show up, he'd be on the hook for $100,000. By then, the defendant could be in Costa Rica.
The judge who set Sandusky free for free? Her name is Leslie Dutchcot. She has volunteered with Sandusky's charity, The Second Mile, the one that allegedly provided him a hunting ground for victims.
Sandusky capitalized on that, too. While he was out of jail -- not wearing the monitoring device prosecutors wanted him to wear, a request former Second Mile volunteer Leslie Dutchcot declined -- Sandusky helped his defense team find one of the alleged victims.
Can you believe that?
Sandusky's attorney, Joe Amendola, told Costas on Monday night that someone from the defense team -- Amendola didn't specify who; it could have been Sandusky himself -- has been in contact with the child known as alleged Victim Two.
"So you found him, the Commonwealth has not?" Costas asked.
"Yeah. Interesting, isn't it?" Amendola replied.
No. Not interesting -- it's horrifying. Presumption of innocence is one thing, but contacting an alleged victim before the trial? Horrifying. The idea that Sandusky or his people were able to talk to the alleged victim, influence the child's testimony, even persuade him not to cooperate at all ... it's beyond comprehension that such a thing could happen.

According to recently released information, he was only making about $500,000 per year. As others have said the real dough comes from other revenue streams. Any way you slice it he’s a one per center.
CBS is still reporting on this story? Doesn’t match-up with their past behavior. Why are they still reporting on this problem and reporting on this guy? Something’s up.
That's why it is available in heavy-duty, nine-ply, industrial grade ROLLS. Cut to fit...

If she had any, she'd likely be of a different opinion regarding this sleezeball.
Ropes aren’t reusable for that purpose. If the rope breaks the perp goes free. Always use new rope, to avoid such a tragedy.
No kids, but two Yorkies. One is named “Bark”ley—isn’t that special.
Her awards are basically BS awards.There is nothing substantial. Even those “Lawyer of the Year” awards are just resume enhancers that don’t really mean anything.
Too bad her Yorkies can’t read. They’d proabably snarl at her when she got home.
Good one. Ped State University. They deserve it. They should own it.
Ped State, home of the Diddle-Me Lions.
“This was not the secret that they are trying to make out now,” one person involved in the inquiry said. “I know there were a number of college coaches that had heard the rumors. If all these people knew about it, how could Sandusky’s superiors not know?”
This is just so sickening, appalling, horrifying and disgusting! It seems Sandusky was allowed to carry on with a wink and a nod. There seems to have been an unspoken don’t ask, don’t tell policy implemented by all those who surrounded Sandusky.
Of course other schools knew about it. He was a Defensive coaching superstar who left PSU at the prime of his career and was never mentioned once as a possible candidate in any coaching search, college or pros.
That is a most interesting point...could other college coaches have known about this?
I heard an interview with OJ McDuffie, who stated that he’d heard the rumors while he was at PSU. And the rumor reports weren’t coming from his teammates.
So: an incredibly horrendous story gets yet more horrendous. Penn State better act fast to save whatever they have left of a positive rep and begin to rebuild. Clean house now, for cripes sake...
The boy, on the other hand, has good reason to be afraid.
But, when it comes to a football program, or any sport for that matter,who cares if some minority child gets buggered by a "successful" coach. while it might be kinda hard for the boy, but it is only the cost of doing business.
Why do you think that Sandusky wasn’t picked up by another school after he “retired”. He, age wise, had a lot more potental years to coach.
That's the 64-Dollar question, and it's the question that haunts the NCAA....how many coaches from other schools knew about Sandusky?
when Barney Frank did this with pages in DC, where was the outrage?
Barney Frank 5 years ago never was attacked or brought up on charges.

This will undoubtedly go on to affect other schools (I'm thinking some other Big Tens for sure) and maybe the NCAA...wow and wow.
Wouldn’t shock me at all if Barney somehow had a connection to this.
