Penn State Sandusky scandal: AD arrested, Paterno fired, dies; cover-up charged #9

[J. J. in Phila]

J.J., I agree. I'm not from the area like you and some others here so I never really understood the term. The lightbulb in my head lit up when I heard about these e-mails this am and suddenly, I understood.

My apologies if the tone of my post sounded flippant.:blushing:

moo

wm

No apology is necessary. The term evokes humor.

I do the Gricar case, as you know and, bluntly, I am scared <I'll save the moderator the trouble of snipping> about what file might show.

Remember, parts of my family have been in Pennsylvania for 250 years (and possibly to the last ice age). I went to Penn State, am a life member of the alumni association, held local office in the area, and have written about the Gricar case, largely because his record was so good.

This has me scared.

Jeankasauras on IS said the witness had no kleenex and finally someone handed him a box of kleenex. She said it was painful to watch.

Victim referred to JS as Mr. Sandusky.

 

[waltzingmatilda]

Victim said abuse would happen 80-90% if the time when he & JS were together.

Accuser 1 said it was the same kind of routine. Sandusky would crack his back and put his hands down the back of his shorts. He said it was always after Sandusky blew on his stomach that it would occur.

by WGAL 10:54 AM


Accuser 1 said he did not tell his mom and he did not tell Sandusky to stop. He said he was embarrassed and confused and didn't know what to do.

When asked if the behavior happened again, Accuser 1 said yes &#8211; in the same spot &#8211; the basement bedroom.

At that point in the testimony, Accuser 1 began crying.

by WGAL 10:52 AM


Accuser 1 became emotion and choked up and told the court that Sandusky put his mouth on "my privates." Accuser 1 said he didn't want it to happen &#8211; he froze, he blacked out.

by WGAL 10:52 AM


Accuser 1 said Sandusky progressed to kissing his lips and rubbing underneath his shorts. He said Sandusky lifted up his shirt and blew on his stomach. Accuser 1 said he was 11 or 12 at the time &#8230; he said he weighed less than 100 pounds. He said he was puzzled and didn't know what to think.

Accuser 1 said Sandusky put his hands on his privates more than 9 times.

by WGAL 11:06 AM


As far as the investigation into Jerry Sandusky, Accuser 1 said he wants to put it behind him &#8211; to have it gone.

by WGAL 11:05 AM


Accuser 1 said his mom said they needed to go to police and Children and Youth services. He said they went to Children and Youth and he broke down. He said he couldn't move. He said his mother was holding him and that it was horrible.

by WGAL 11:05 AM


Accuser 1 said his mom set up a meeting with a guidance counselor who asked if Sandusky had ever done anything wrong to him. He said he broke down and cried and said yes. Accuser 1 said they told him they needed to think about it &#8211; they said Sandusky wouldn't do something like that, that he had a heart of gold. Accuser 1 said they wouldn't believe him.

by WGAL 11:04 AM


Accuser 1 said he wanted to give his mom the gist of what was going on.

by WGAL 11:02 AM


Accuser 1 said he asked his mother what the website was for people who do things to children. He said his mom said, you mean Megan's Law. She wanted to know why he was looking up that site. He said he wanted to see if Sandusky was on there.

by WGAL 11:02 AM


In 2008, Accuser 1 said he decided he would start avoiding Sandusky. He said he would hide at Sandusky's home until his wife called him upstairs. He said he joined Big Brothers and Big Sisters to spend less time with Sandusky. He said Sandusky would yell at him about needing to spend more time together.

by WGAL 11:01 AM


Accuser 1 said his wrestling coach saw him rolling around on a mat in the middle school weight room. He said he felt relief that nothing was going to happen.

by WGAL 11:00 AM


Accuser 1 said his teachers thought he was a bad kid and that his grades went from As and Bs to Cs, Ds and Fs.

by WGAL 10:59 AM


Accuser 1 said he couldn't tell anybody. He was embarrassed. He was worried his mom might not believe him. He said his behavior changed and he acted out, wetted the bed and got into fights.

by WGAL 10:59 AM


News 8's Barbara Barr characterized Accuser 1's testimony to this point as compelling, sad and graphic.

by WGAL 10:58 AM


Accuser 1 broke down into tears at this point in the testimony. There were other people in the courtroom who were also weeping.

by WGAL 10:57 AM


Accuser 1 said Sandusky would look at him and say something along the lines of "It's your turn. Accuser 1 cried as he told the court that Sandusky made him put his mouth on his privates.

Accuser 1 agreed that Sandusky gave him gifts.

by WGAL 11:13 AM


Amendola asked Accuser 1 about the gifts Jerry Sandusky gave him, including golf clubs and clothes for church.

by WGAL 11:13 AM


Amendola said Sandusky's wife, Dottie, never saw anything and that she never came downstairs &#8211; even when they were playing games. Accuser 1 said he never once saw Dottie Sandusky in that basement.

by WGAL 11:12 AM


Accuser 1 told Amendola that Sandusky would then force him into oral sex. Again, he said Sandusky's wife was upstairs.

by WGAL 11:11 AM


Amendola says &#8211; your testimony is oral sex occurred how many times? Accuser 1 said whenever Sandusky blew on his stomach &#8211; 80 to 90 percent of the time. Accuser 1 said he spent more time with "your client" than he did with most of his family at the time.

by WGAL 11:10 AM


Accuser 1 is asked if the oral sex only happened at the Sandusky home. Accuser 1 says Yes. He said he happened at night and Sandusky's wife was upstairs.

by WGAL 11:09 AM


It's alleged that the ex-husband of Accuser 1's mom was abusive.


Amendola asks if the contact with Sandusky evolved over time into sexual contact. Accuser 1 answered &#8211; yup.

'No kids ever stayed/slept in the basement.'

Dottie is a big liar....IMO

 

[Reader]

Accuser 1 said &#8211; I am here to tell the truth about what happened, like everybody else.

by WGAL 11:17 AM


Amendola asks if he has a civil attorney. Accuser 1 indicates that his mom has one to keep the press away from him. He said the press made life extremely hard for him. He said according to his mom's boss, it was a good idea to get a lawyer.

by WGAL 11:16 AM


Amendola asked Accuser 1 if he or his mother ever told anybody that they are going to become rich because of this. Accuser 1 says &#8211; No.

by WGAL 11:15 AM


Amendola then talked about what the wrestling coach saw. He says he and Sandusky were just doing wrestling moves and the coach obviously didn't think anything of it until now.

Amendola says &#8211; You didn't say Mr. Sandusky touched your privates? Accuser 1 says &#8211; Yes, it's embarrassing.

by WGAL 11:20 AM


Amendola tells Accuser 1 that when he went to Children and Youth that he just told the counselor that Sandusky had laid on top of him. Amendola said Accuser 1 did not indicate that naything sexual had occurred. Accuser 1 said &#8211; Yes, it was extremely hard after the guidance counselor meeting (where Accuser 1 previously stated that he was not believed).

Amendola followed up, saying &#8211; just so we're clear, you never discussed with anyone else in your mom's presence that you were going to end up with a big house. Accuser 1 said &#8211; No, I've dreamed about a big house, driving nice cars, doesn't everybody.

by 8CumbCoReport via twitter11:23 AM


Accuser 1 said he testified three times before the grand jury.

by WGAL 11:22 AM


Accuser 1 said he didn't feel comfortable telling his psychologists specifics.

by WGAL 11:21 AM


Amendola says the first time you mentioned oral sex was on June 8, 2009. Do you remember telling a state trooper? Accuser 1 said he told his psychologist that something more happened. He said he didn't feel comfortable telling him right then and there.

Sandusky Trial: Documents Reveal Gary Schultz Had Secret File on Sandusky and His Sex Abuse, Report Says

http://www.statecollege.com/news/lo...ndusky-and-his-sex-abuse-report-says-1065056/

New evidence surfaced Tuesday morning involving former Penn State vice president Gary Schultz.

According to KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh, the State Attorney General&#8217;s Office says Schultz kept a secret file on former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky and related allegations of sex abuse.

&#8220;Only recently was the Commonwealth provided with a file containing documents relating to incidents involving Sandusky,&#8221; a statement from the Attorney General&#8217;s office said. &#8220;The file was created, maintained and possessed by Schultz. Documents in that file are inconsistent with statements by Schultz and his co-defendant, (Tim) Curley, to the Grand Jury.

More at link....


Notice the 's' on those words....more than one

 

[jamiect]

Ross Levitt &#8207;@cnnross

Victim #1 says after #Sandusky followed his school bus, he was "extremely, extremely scared." At one point he "hid behind a bush."

 

[Reader]

From the above link:

The KDKA report claims they all knew about an alleged sexual assault that took place in the Penn State locker room shower.

The documents filed by the Attorney General&#8217;s office late Monday indicate Schultz told so many lies in his Grand Jury testimony that it was impossible to respond to each and every one of them, according to KDKA.

The 3 stooges....they just thought they had troubles before!

Yep, I hope the state is establishing a pattern of stalking/obsessive behavior. Was it not the '98 victim who JS allegedly stalked by showing up at the back sliding door of he and his mom's home/apt?

What better way to intimidate a child than to form an alliance with the child's parent?

Stay strong victims! Tell the tale...tell the truth!

[Mama-cita]

I hope these boys are well compensated civilly in light of the fact that Penn State allowed this behavior to go on and on and on!! I hope that even Paterno's estate can be sued! If it happened to my son, I would not stop until it was called Mama-cita University!!! Also agree with whomever said that there is a special place in hell for the likes of Amendola. It takes a real <self mod snip> to defend evil.
