I’m curious as to how they “found” the victim. Did the person come forward, or did they know the name and just couldn’t locate him prior to this? Obviously, the victim knew this was all going on, and it would seem he didn’t WANT to come forward. I can’t imagine what the man must be going through now... Talk about ripping off a bandage and opening wounds - and especially if you aren’t prepared for being confronted by these things... It can seriously screw a person up, even if they’ve achieved stability and have dealt with the issues.

The money isn’t any real consolation for the suffering he has already gone through, what he will be put through in court, and what he will suffer with the rest of his life - whether he is able to move forward and accept the past (become a survivor), or not. It may be stress off the person’s back as he probably won’t have to worry about work, and could concentrate on his wellness, and living. But, it’s not going to take away any of the pain...

As for those who allowed this to happen, covered it up, etc... I really don’t have any words that I can say here neither about how I feel about the monsters, nor what I think SHOULD be done to them.

Like the Catholic church's crimes many of the victims did not want to come forward for fear of reprisal from the church and community. If you read the grand jury's report Sandusky groomed his victims starting aroung 8 or 9 by picking fatherless children with low self esteem. The D.A. stated that all of the victims did not want to testify against Sandusky because he was so powerful and revered. The D.A. had to make a secret rendezvous with McQueery far from campus to get him to talk. The D.A. knew that if it got out that McQueery was talking to investigators Penn. State would try to intervene.

NM - I don’t read well enough sometimes. I see that the victim is the one who came forward to the lawyers. Still, many of the things in my post still apply.

Fox Radio News said that he came forward because he is suing PSU.
