Penn State Sandusky scandal: AD arrested, Paterno, Spanier fired; coverup charged #4

This expresses some very logical thought related to whether Sandusky's wife knew of his pedophilia:

Sandusky was invited to numerous events and asked to speak at numerous events. He attended numerous fundraisers for Second Mile and these events always include photos for the "society page" of local newspapers and benefactors' newsletters, but there is only one photo of Sandusky's wife on the internet. Where was she? Hmmmm.

Well it's about time the focus is also on the high school:

More and more pictures of Sandusky have emerged but.....his wife is not in any of them.....none of them. Not even the 2nd mile photos. To me, that is significant in this child predator case.

That's raising red flags.

Welcome to Websleuths, FloatingStar!

Everyone was too blinded by his (Sandusky) local celebrity status. Even though the 'rumors' were floating out there for 'at least' the last decade......MOST.....'seemed' to have had 'no knowledge' of Jer's proclivities.....hmmmm.

Some of the alleged attacks are believed to have occurred in the couple's home.
So how, many ask, could Dottie Sandusky not have known?
"I've seen it both ways," clinical social worker Farlie Chastain says. "In which the family knows and is in denial."
http://www.wrcbtv.com/story/16020867/serial-child-sex-abuse-what-could-sanduskys-wife-have-known

Sandusky was a fixated pedophile though. (There are different types of pedos and people who chose children for their sexual gratification.) This means Sandusky only had a sexual interest in children. IMO, Dottie knew because her husband was not interested in her or other women. She may have rationalized his lack of sexual interest as many different things (side effects of blood pressure medicine, the stress of his job, blamed her own appearance, and etc...) but she definitely knew her husband was not sexually "normal".

He married Dottie Gross in 1966, the year he graduated from Penn State. He'd met her at a picnic the previous summer and although he was shy and awkward around girls, his mother pushed him to pursue the relationship
http://www.cnn.com/2011/11/19/us/sandusky-memoir-profile/index.html

It maybe nothing more than a mother noticing a nice girl and pushing a relationship she wanted for her son (Done that:innocent or maybe JS's mom noticed some little hinky things about JS that made her wanting him settled down to ground him! We'll never know as his mom is deceased and Dottie will never talk!!:banghead:

Here's a story in from the New York Times about victim 1 (the combinaton of water and eroticism seem to be a pattern):

The friend said he did not have a swimsuit. Sandusky, he recalled, said not to worry — he kept spare trunks for boys in his car. At the hotel, the friend said, the four of them changed into their swimsuits.

Regarding the allegations, "we have answers for each of those," Amendola said. He added that of the eight cases against Sandusky, the two victims tied to the most serious allegations are unknown.

Prosecutors "have no victims. They have other people that are saying they saw something happen, but they don't actually have people saying, 'This is what Jerry did to me,' " Amendola said.
http://www.cnn.com/2011/11/22/justice/pennsylvania-sandusky-scandal/index.html

Huh? The boy from Mills Hall told police and CPS that Sandusky raped him even after the principal, Karen Probst, encouraged him not to talk about "that great man".

Pretty incredible statement for this attorney to make, isn't it?

Prosecutors "have no victims. They have other people that are saying they saw something happen, but they don't actually have people saying, 'This is what Jerry did to me,' " Amendola said.

http://www.cnn.com/2011/11/22/justice/pennsylvania-sandusky-scandal/index.html

Umm, hate to break it to you counselor, but Victim 1 certainly IS saying "what Ole Jer did to him":

Victim One revealed that for nearly two years he was subjected to various sexual acts by Sandusky.

I have faith that most....if not all, of Sandusky's victims are going to come forward. I hate even calling them 'victims' at this point though. I'd prefer to call them 'advocates' at this time! I hope I speak for the masses when I say we are behind you guys all the way!!! Stand your ground and DON'T back down.

Make sure you read that article I linked to from the New York Times. Apparently school officials fired victims 1's track coach because his relationship with the boy "drifted into the friend zone." I guess it's better late than never for school officials to be concerned about the appropriateness of such relationships. :banghead:

If credible, the latest cases would further raise questions about why authorities waited so long to arrest the former Penn State coach.

By Greg Howard | Posted Tuesday, Nov. 22, 2011, at 5:23 PM ET

http://slatest.slate.com/posts/2011/11/22/jerry_sandusky_s_trial_delayed_one_week.html.html

UPDATE: The Patriot-News has its latest scoop: Pennsylvania’s Children and Youth Services has opened two new cases of child abuse against Jerry Sandusky in the past 60 days.

------
"[T]hese would be the first known cases to be reported since Sandusky’s arrest that involve current children. All of the other publicly known cases of alleged victims coming forward have been adults.

"In Pennsylvania, when an adult comes forward and alleges abuse -- even if it happened when that person was a child -- it’s solely a police matter. CYS only participates in the investigation if the victim is still under 18."

------
Meanwhile, the Associated Press reports that the Pennsylvania court system has announced that all "the judges in Penn State's home county [have] removed themselves from potentially presiding over the child sex-abuse case against former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky and will be replaced by outside jurists."...........Former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky’s preliminary hearing has been pushed back a week to Tuesday, December 13, the Associated Press reports.

------
Sandusky’s attorney Joe Amendola told ABC News that he expects more alleged victims to step forward in the coming weeks, and more charges for Sandusky. If that happens, Sandusky’s bail will likely be raise or revoked, possibly leaving him waiting out the days until his trial in jail.

That's a great in-depth article. People were wondering who "outed" the boy at the High School, and guess what? It was the football coach who was also the Assistant Principal! He announced it at a parent's meeting! OMG

I think the Coach and Principal Probst should be fired, and soon. They didn't file any reports, and tried to talk the mother of Victim One into ignoring the whole thing. Scummy behavior for so-called "educators." :banghead:

This article has a rare comment about Sandusky’s wife’s activities. While Sandusky was romancing indigent little boys with swimming and later with video games at his home one evening, Sarge (Jerry Sandusty's nickname for his wife) was chatting with a female friend that was visiting her.

That article disgusted me. In my opinion some sort of action needs to be taken against these school officials, and the mother needs to SUE. I just couldn't believe what I was reading, it made me sick, angry, and disgusted.

Keep on talking mister lawyer manz and the prosecution won’t have to say anything.

You’ll make their case for em:

Sandusky’s attorney Joe Amendola told ABC News that he expects more alleged victims to step forward

“If you believe that Jerry Sandusky was a pedophile, then you had to believe there was a substantial risk.”

http://slatest.slate.com/posts/2011/11/22/jerry_sandusky_s_trial_delayed_one_week.html.html

Amendola said Sandusky once spent a night alone in a hotel room with the boy during a trip sponsored by Second Mile.

Amendola admitted that Sandusky gave gifts to many children

“He would hug kids, he kissed kids”

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/23/s...l-a-search-for-trust.html?_r=2&pagewanted=all

he showered with children

http://www.cnn.com/2011/11/22/justice/pennsylvania-sandusky-scandal/index.html

What’s that old saying....Give em enough rope and they’ll hang themselves?

She's an enabler...didn't want her own life to be disrupted and probably accepted this situation long ago...she even attempted to contact one of the GJ victims to try to protect her husband...

"Everyone has rushed to judgment" Amendola said.

Umm.....how many decades long was this "rush", mister lawyer manz?
