Sandusky's Son Now Admits Father Molested Him

Matt Sandusky, one of Jerry Sandusky's adopted children, has said that he was molested by the former Penn State defensive coordinator, according to a statement from his lawyers.

The allegation comes as Sandusky is awaiting the verdict in his child rape trial. Matt Sandusky, who has defended his father as he faced child rape charges, said through his attorneys Andrew Shubin and Justine Andronici that he met with prosecutors this week to tell them he was a victim for the first time.

"During the trial, Matt Sandusky contacted us and requested our advice and assistance in arranging a meeting with prosecutors to disclose for the first time in this case that he is a victim of Jerry Sandusky’s abuse," Matt Sandusky's lawyers said in a statement obtained by InSession. "At Matt’s request, we immediately arranged a meeting between him and the prosecutors and investigators."

Matt isn't exactly your ideal credible witness. He was a barn burner. His brother is in jail for murder and his Mother is all over the map - always has been.

JS is still going to get his, but I think this is the start of the post-trial civil suit gravy train.

Flame away.

Abuse allegations shadow Sandusky's Second Mile son

I remember that horrible case. She was not a prisoner, IMO, and she could have saved that poor child somehow.

I may have overstated with the word "prisoner", when what I should have said more precisely is that, as a battered woman herself, she was a prisoner to her mortal fear at the point when her partner's adopted daughter was beaten for what then turned out to be the final time. Her case did spark a necessary discussion about the role of the non-abusing parent who acquiesces to abuse even if they are not committing it themselves.

It's well to remember that services for battered women may not have been as well developed or available at that time; what she did was leave the apartment after an egregious beating of the child and did not call for help (ostensibly fearing another beating for herself), but the child then died the next morning.

Here's an insightful article about the case, particularly the last paragraph:

Why is this just being reported now?

This whole thing is sick and getting sicker. Sandusky should fry, slowly.

Why Woody Allen walks free is beyond me.
