Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky and his wife, Dottie, afrrive at a courthouse for a pre-trial hearing in December.
The Common Pleas Court in McKean County, Pa., has released a letter that Dottie Sandusky wrote to Judge John Cleland after her husband, former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, was convicted on 45 counts of child sex abuse and before he was sentenced to 30 to 60 years for those crimes.
Dottie Sandusky attended the sentencing Tuesday for her husband, who was defensive coordinator and for many years the presumed heir-apparent to legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno. The case shook the university, resulting in the firing of Paterno and the departure of the president and other officials.

Here is Dottie Sandusky's letter:
Dear Judge Cleland:
I am Dottie Sandusky, Jerry Sandusky's wife of 46 years in September. It is with a heavy heart I write this to you. I have known Jerry for 47 years and he has always been truthful with me, even if it hurt. He is a very up front man and a man of very high morals.
Jerry always put others before himself and always wanted to make each person feel special no matter who they were. Like all of us he has his faults, one is he cares so much for people always wanting them to reach their potential. Therefore he pushes them hard. One 42 year old man who was in the Second Mile stopped by the other day and told me how thankful he is to Jerry for pushing him to be the best he could be. He said, "What I learned from Jerry has made me a better husband and father." This is a young man who had many strikes against him.
Read the full sentencing order (.pdf)
Jerry was a wonderful father to our six children. We thank God each day for bringing them into our life. He treated each one as if they were our biological children. Our house was a fun house with lots of games, picnics, laughs and caring. There were always lots of people around whether it was friends of our kids, Second Mile kids or neighbors.
I never saw him doing anything inappropriate to any child, if I had, as a Mother and Grandmother I would have taken action. Jerry is not the monster everyone is making him out to be.
Jerry Sandusky, who is officially labeled a sexually violent predator, will be transferred from county jail to state prison next week to begin serving what amounts to a life in prison following Tuesday's sentencing. NBC's Michael Isikoff reports.
Many times he would give up much of his free time, which was not many hours when he was a coach, to make a sporting event of one of the kids he was trying to help. Sometimes we would drive two hours to spend time with these kids.
Legal analysis: Sandusky sentencing was logical and reasonable
One of the accusers called Jerry and said he could not do his school work because his computer broke and Jerry found a used computer that someone was not using and gave it to him. Fact is most of the things he gave to the accusers were used or given to him by people who wanted to help these young men.
I use to believe in our protective system, but now have no faith in the police or legal system. To think that they can lie and get by with the lies. The press has been unbelievable. People who have not met us are writing untruths.
As far as our son Matt goes, people need to know what kind of person he is. We have forgiven him many times for all he has done to our family thinking that he was changing his life, but he would always go back to his stealing and lies. He has been diagnose with Bipolar, but he refuses to take his medicine. He has had many run-ins with the law and stolen money and items from our family. We still love him and want the best for him, but because of his actions we cannot express this to him.
I pray each day that God will give me the strength to do what is right and that I will be able to hold our family together.
Thank you for listening.
Sincerely,
Dorothy D. Sandusky

Jerry Sandusky made a surprise statement before his sentencing and also made a statement at the hearing, insisting that "I didn't do these alleged disgusting acts."
Sandusky said he had "hope in my heart for a brighter day, not knowing when that day will come."
"Many moments I have spent looking for a purpose," he said. "Maybe it will help others — some vulnerable children who may have been abused may not be as a result of all the publicity — but I'm not sure about it. I would hope that it would happen."
Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky sat impassively as three of his victims told the court of the psychological effects of Sanduksy's abuse when they were young boys. NBC's John Yang reports.

i pray that god gives you the strength to hang yourself you pedophile enabling old biatch.
Lady clean the @!$%# out of your eyes....he is guilty and you are guilty by association....yeah it's a conspiracy....
Her kushy life and meal ticket is headed to prison. Of course she proclaims his innocence. There is no doubt in my mind that she knew EXACTLY what was going on under her roof with her monster husband and those innocent children.
what B.S. Jerry blew and Dottie knew........period................
Lol, absolutely awesome, Uncle Henry!
"a man of very high morals."
LMFAO!
"he pushes them hard."
I'll bet he did.
"Jerry was a wonderful father to our six children."
"We thank God each day for bringing them into our life. He treated each one as if they were our biological children. Our house was a fun house with lots of games"
So, what you're saying is: he raped all of them & not just one?
"I never saw him doing anything inappropriate to any child"
Nope, U didn't SEE anything but I'll bet U HEARD plenty!
"Sometimes we would drive two hours to spend time with these kids."
I have absolutely no doubt.
I could go on but I'm sure ya'll know where I'm going with this.
I have a question 4 the lawyers & judges: Is it possible 4 a judge to order a lock-down psych evaluation? 'Cuz this 1 needs it-BAD.
Jerry Sandusky is a cunning, calculating sociopath. Using troubled children without fathers to abuse so he could immediately discount their claims of abuse as them merely being "troubled children".
We won't know for sure if Dottie did in fact hear what was going on in their "sound proof" basement -- but one thing is certain: Sandusky fooled a lot of people. This is typical sociopath behavior - it's what they do.
I'm not immediately writing of the possibility that she didn't know, or Sandusky's lies and deceit have created a complete alternate reality in her mind than what actually exists. I wouldn't be surprised if Sandusky truly believes he didn't do anything wrong.
Keep Sandusky's brain for neuroscience research to figure out what makes this sicko and those like him tick.
He should have testified during his trial if he was innocent, but instead of doing that as soon as he and his attorneys saw his adopted son enter the courtroom to testify against Sandusky, they abruptly rested their case and ended the trial, instead of testifying in his own defense.
If Sandusky had taken the stand and testified as to his "innocence" he MIGHT have stood some kind of chance at getting some mercy from the court, but he chose to end the trial instead of testifying.
When he did that, he basically let everyone know that even more damaging testimony was about to come out.
The wife is probably trying to defend Sandusky in order to save their pension and retirement money that I'm sure they're receiving from Penn State.
Denial is the only way some families can handle reality - even when it further victimizes the victims...and even if it is against another family member. They know in their hearts what is true, but their own egos and considerations of "what will people think?" are stronger than the best of their own humanity. They care more for Gossips than Truth and that speaks volumes about them.
To all victims of sexual abusers:
You know what is true and real. People who protect abusive people are the same as the abusers; abuse is abuse. Walk away from them and build your own lives with your own remarkable strengths! There is more to you than the abuse that happened - time will heal. You will never forget, but you will have days that you do not think of it and you will be able to laugh again. You do have a chance to live...take it!
"Keep Sandusky's brain for neuroscience research to figure out what makes this sicko and those like him tick."
And the jar will B marked: "Abby Normal". :-P
Yes he is a monster. And I hope that soon, the investigators will find what they need to prosecute YOU right along with him. You are a WORSE kind of monster: one that knows what a person is doing, and allows it to continue. Worthless hag.
I doubt he has a brain; clearly he thought with his "little head," not his big one.
I do have 2 say, I really wish peeps would stop calling him a monster.........
There is no reason 2 insult The Chicago Bears.
♪♫We called him Sweetness & he liked 2 dance.
Running the ball was like makin' romance!♪♫
;-)
I think that Sandusky is innocent and he certainly is not a monster either like the ignorant general public is trying to claim. People just overreact against things which do not concern them, like Sandusky being innocent or guilty when they really have their own life to take care off, and even worse. They wish the worse for him just because he did things which he did not mean to do. Look. I know I am going to get a lot of hate against the general public for specifying the truth but I simply don't care what people say. This is my opinion and I have a right to speak it. Maybe open up your minds a bit, I hate to see someone spend the rest of the life in bars over a mistake he has made, so maybe try seeing my side of the story before you start hating?
maybe you will also
I say cut it out, and put it in a blender. His remains when he dies should be fed to other pedophiles in the penitentiary where he resides.
His wife should shut the @!$%# up, and give 100% of her pension to charity.
See someone from Penn State - punch them in the nose. Deter anyone from ever having any association with that school ever again.
raping boys over and over again was a "mistake" Nihal? It sounds to me Nihal...like you have made some "mistakes" of your own...and you're simply trying to justify what you've done?? I don't believe that a defendant should be allowed to make a "statement" during sentencing if he hasn't had the balls to testify. It's just disgusting that he was allowed to defend himself but not take the stand. Nihal... you are as sick and pathetic as he is. To say that this guy is innocent after ALL of the evidence that was brought against him... just shows that you are as sick and perverted as he is.
Nihal
Are you a pedophile too, you dumb s*%&$...?
Nihal
Are you a pedophile too, you dumb s*%&$...?
"I think that Sandusky is innocent"
Awww look. Somebody gave Jerry a computer.
"This is my opinion and I have a right to speak it."
Ok-yes. It's your opinion & yes U do have the right 2 speak but.....
....U R in the minority here. I wouldn't expect 2 find 2 many "friends". Ok, dawg?
Hey Dottie....you are as sick and demented as your sick demented husband. I hope and pray that you rot in hell along side that POS husband of yours! You are one of the most disgusting people on the face of this earth. My hope for you is that the rest of your days are full of pain and suffering just like the victims of your husband!
"Jerry always put others before himself "...he sure did....put boys before himself in the shower and every other place you can think of. I hope he gets what's coming to him in prison.
Why would you attack Nihal. He/she is just voicing out his opinion just like everybody else.
I believe Sandusky is a pedophile and he deserves what he got.
HopeyChangeyFeely at 1.5
That is exactly what they did with Richard Speck and here's what they found:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Speck
AND
Unfortunately, you could be right. Sadly, it is not an uncommon occurrence for monsters to entertain these thoughts. One look at the NAMBLA web site will support what you say although I refuse to post the link to that heinous sicko website.
Good afternoon IA.ScooterTramp.
You are right Dottie......raping kids is a normal thing. What a worthless hag. And there is no doubt in my mind that this tramp knew all about this and had no problem with it. What a scum bag.
How's about we ask the victims if ol Jer was a monster or not? Bet they'd have a different take than Dottie.
Well. . .
I think she might have been right about a couple of things.
"He likes to put other people ahead of himself". Yes. Especially if they are a young boy in the shower.
"He pushes them hard". True also, mostly from behind because he found that was the easiest way.
Nihal is a troll. Ignore the troll.
Sounds as if Nihal is one of those nambla perverts. They actually believe that the boys they "love", love them back and what they are doing is not immoral or illegal. And not to worry about ol Jerry smoking himself, because he wont last a hot hour in general population.
"They wish the worse for him just because he did things which he did not mean to do."
That is why people are attacking Nihal. No further explanation required.
"Jerry always put others before himself..."
Yea. Little kids. Now you don't have to play the radio so loudly.
I don't see how some ignorant people (like Nihal) can possibly defend this piece of garbarge. And to say that he "did something he didn't mean to do?" How can you "accidently" rape multiple young boys? And his piece of garbage wife made a Freudian slip when she said to the judge that Jerry would "drive two hours to spend time with these boys". That's because he could only abuse those who were already labeled as "troubled", so that if they had spoken up back then he could have used that as an excuse. There is no way that she didn't know what was going on. And to have the nerve to tell the judge about his "high morals"? He has NO morals, just like every other pedophile on the earth. It's horrible to me that she would throw her own abused adopted son under the bus by accusing him of stealing from them, etc. so that people don't believe him. I feel sorry for anyone who was molested by this MONSTER, and I think that everyone who had any knowledge of what was happening, including his wife, should receive a long prison term.
This woman is just as guilty and responsible for the rapes. She heard the screams and shut the basement door to let Jerry have his fun. I would love to see her get charged and convicted to life in prison.
She is very delusional as well not able to differentiate the truth from reality. Add in alot of denial but she knows deep down that she too is responsible........
I'd like to kick this bitches dumb a$$. It's women like her who enable these kind of men to hurt children. She literally makes me sick.
Sandusky’s wife; she is as sick and demented as he is. She has the, “better you than me attitude”. She absolutely, beyond a shadow of doubt knew what was going on; “better you than me attitude”. She did not tell anyone because she had too much to loose; money, high standing in the community and face. Oh!!! You can bet she knew and she will deny it and take it to her grave, just like Sandusky will.
If this involved just one or two accusers, if accusations didn't date back decades with the school burying them, if there were no witnesses who brought the matter up to school officials, if his own son did not accuse him, then maybe, just maybe, I might believe Sandusky might be innocent. But that saying, "Where there's smoke, there's fire." There wasn't just smoke here, any honest person who wasn't out to cash in on Penn State's football program could see that there was a raging fire. This school and its officials closed their eyes allowing children to be sexually abused for years so they could make money! They are all disgusting pigs and every single one of them who were involved in this cover up should be behind bars for life! That includes this woman!
By the way, I don't believe Paterno died because he was surprised and shocked by all of these allegations. I don't believe he didn't understand that some man could sexually abuse children when people came to him and told him about Sandusky - people have been abusing children for thousands of years! I believe he died because he was caught covering it all up and he just couldn't live with his guilt and seeing his once glorious reputation fouled in the news!
"I believe he died because he was caught covering it all up and he just couldn't live with his guilt and seeing his once glorious reputation fouled in the news!"
If U had stopped that sentence with "guilt", it wouldn't have worked since he had had decades 2 get over it; Which didn't seem 2 B a problem 4 Paterno. But since U added the part about his reputation, U get a thumbs up from me.
She even throws her son under the bus... what a peach.
You sleep and eat with the Devil, you become the devil...
Even by looking at this child rapist and closet homosexual, you can tell a few genes are missing or misplaced...
May he rot in hell
This woman is no different than so many other spouses who believe they know the accused better than anyone else. She needs to cling to her idea of who her husband was and cannot accept any other. There are many cases where the the spouse was clueless.... Take Joey Buttafuoco's wife and her cries of "not my Joey", when her husband was accused of being her shooter's lover and pimp. The Boston strangler was married and his wife had no idea of his activities. People need to keep their outrage and anger focused on the CRIMINAL and not his family.
What a strange, little old lady. I googled pictures of her and she looks almost as sick as her husband. What a sick, demented lady.
Sandusky needs the death penalty.
This is very sad, especially when you consider that one of Sandusky adopted children is one of the accusers and Dottie herself has been implicated by at least two victims.
Sadly, when you know and don't do anything to help, that is as bad as doing the bad act.
Of course she is going to say he's not a monster. If she was to actually come out and say that, she would have to recognize that she is really no better.
When a single accuser comes forward and, with no corroborating proof, manages to get you imprisoned, that may be injustice.
When seventeen people come forward (plus an eyewitness) with no apparent affiliation with each other and testify to corroborating, monstrous acts spanning many years, it's a very different story.
There is no mass conspiracy. Penn State may be a powerful institution, but a former Defense Coordinator isn't a head of state. To control this many people and the justice system, you'd need collaboration on an unprecedented scale. And Jerry Sandusky is not now and never was important enough to be framed at that level.
It's a simple matter of a very sick man being caught abusing disadvantaged children. A plea from his wife--however well-worded--changes nothing.
And Sandusky is spending the rest of his life in jail. I'm for the death penalty on this one, but as a citizen and resident of Pennsylvania, I'll take what I can get.
Many times he would give up much of his free time, which was not many hours when he was a coach, to make a sporting event of one of the kids he was trying to help. Sometimes we would drive two hours to spend time with these kids.
...um...I think her letter provides further evidence of his guilt! I may be cynical but what normal person does this without some type of motive...especially when he's got a wife and 6 kids at home!
De Nile is a river in State College PA.
She should be in jail.
Llynlargo, I thought the exact same thing when I read that passage! He really went out of his way to be with these young boys. Not normal! Very obsessive behavior.
Um, Lady? One of your husband's ACCUSERS was not one of his victims. That means a) he had nothing to gain and everything to lose (his job?) by bringing it forward, and b) he saw the act, thereby eliminating any "misunderstanding" of Jerry's "kindnesses".
Are your ears just for decoration? Or did you ever try to listen to the pain in those kids' cries?
Throughout all this I feel so sorry for their son Matt. Imagine finally getting the courage to tell the truth against your own father, only to have your other family members essentially disown you. If my child EVER accused my husband of something of this nature, I don't care how upset I was, or even if I truly believed it or not, I would always follow through and take her word for it. Your responsibility is first to your children and then to your spouse. Poor Matt has no where to go for support.
Either she is delusional or lying. She said her husband was "always truthful" to her. Does this truth include discussions on his sexual abuse of young boys? He would drive for two hours to spend time with these kids she said. Did she ever ask just exactly what he was doing with these kids in that four hours plus time? And is she sure he never did anything inappropriate with his own sons? Or maybe that's why he picked on the Second Mile boys.
So, if she is telling the truth then she knew about her husband's pedophilia or she is the most obtuse person. If she knew, then she is as guilty as he is. If she was truly oblivious to the behavior, then she needs to be institutionalized because she could hardly care for herself.
Cruel? Maybe. But nothing compared to what Sandusky put those men through when they were boys.
How does Dottie Sandusky explain away the eyewitness testimony of Mike McQueary and others who saw Jerry Sandusky molesting boys with their own eyes?
She is in denial over this and probably always will be. She will spend the rest of her life alone while Jerry rots in a prison cell.
If Governor Tom Corbett had done his job as (then) PA Attorney General, perhaps the outcome of this case would have been very different, with a lot fewer victims. Corbett needs to be held to account for his inaction.
Why has this woman not been charged with perjury and being an accessory to the crimes? She is a lying POS, and one can only wonder just how involved she was in her husband's perversions. Her husband and her are insane liars and should be put to sleep, like a rabid dog would be.
Mrs. Sandusky is in denial now but will no doubt not visit her beloved in prison.She will be divorcing him shortly I guarantee.
Jerry is innocent. You people are wrong
you know what? i feel sorry for his kids, they are losing their dad here.& i believe that these boys who say this all happened, why so long waiting to do something, so i really dont believe hes guilty, just think how you would feel going down& not have done nothing to deserve this kinda sentence. this world is a sad world,& im sure that man up stairs will punish whenever is guilty in all this..so for his children im so sorry,& i hope that you can find some strenght in all this& dont forget your dad...god bless..
And your a lying bitch since you knew what that sick motherf#$ker was doing to little boys. You sound like the Germans living in the city of Dachau who claimed they didn't know they were killing Jews in the concentration camps. You saw that "monster" take the boys downstairs where he raped them, didn't you Ms. Disgusty? That sheet won't fly and may your days be long and regrettable to your last breath of life on this earth for deliberately ignoring the screams of a helpless children that your monster molested.
Karma's a bitch!
Sorry kids but your dad Jerry Sandusky is going to get ASS-RAPE every single night for the duration of his stay because to some of these prisoners it's like a badge of honor to see who will get to him first.
Sandusky was found guilty of 45 counts of child sex abuse in a court of law and was sentenced to 30 to 60 years for those crimes.
Who are you to claim he didn't do what nearly a dozen young men testified to? Were you sitting in the jury box?
Mike McQueary was not the only person who saw--with his own eyes-- an act of child molestation by Jerry Sandusky. Read the Grand Jury testimony.
Anyone who believes in Sandusky's innocence has their head in the sand all the way up to their shoulders.
Please don't ever serve on a jury if the overwhelming evidence that was presented in this case cannot convince you of the logical conclusion of guilt.
Sandusky's adopted kids are the winners here too because the truth won out. How do you know he didn't molest every one of his adopted boys?
Let's hold the others accountable for the crimes and the cover-up, starting with Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett.
Wow. We should all be so lucky to have a spouse so hell-bent on defending our honor, even when we are completely beyond guilty.
This lady is so delusional it's disgusting.
Lady, good luck with the rest of your life of shame. You deserve EVERY cross look, stare or taunt.
Dottie, not only IS your husband a monster, but so are you! You couldn't possibly be that dim-witted to not have any inkling this was going on, so stop the BS. Just be thankful you weren't charged as an accessory, as you should have been and go away.
Donita Sue;
His kids never had a dad, but a very sick and twisted male living in the home with them. Please do some research on child rapists and how their victims are to afraid to come forward before making people vomit with your comments.
Donita sue YOU sound like your covering for him too DISGUSTING! We are fortunate the few came forward to admit such a horrible thing! THERES PROOF he was seen in shower etc., NO ONE would make up something sooo horrible & imbarrassing to themselves! I wonder if any took their lives also over this. And of course wifey's gonna lie, so she don't look bad,& she put her son down & called him a liar,thief etc...a REAL LOSER!!! & the MONSTER IN DENIAL, NOT LIKE PEOPLE THINK (he loved the boys in his heart he's delusional etc.) He's hiding behind that too! Pretending he loved them as a phychologists view, to make himself look more innocent as I'm sick (I loved them) I can't help it etc! When all he is, is a child raper,torturer & WIFEY TOO, she's probably worried for HER life too! I know God is just, he will take care of this matter not us.
You mean he accidentally tripped in the shower and his penis accidentally slid into that little boys azz? Don't you hate it when that happens.
Oftentimes, when children are abused, they "act out" -- misbehave, run away, break the law. Gee, Mrs. S, ya' think maybe being abused by daddy dearest caused your son to have problems? Go figure.
So many wives are in denial, when they find out what !@#$ their husbands really are. Victim after victim told in detail what this monster did; the assistant coach actually saw him abusing that child in the locker room.
The reason this piece of !@#$ keeps saying he is not guilty, is because he does not see anything wrong with abusing and raping young boys. Several have wonder how much his wife really did know about what he was doing to young boys in their home's basement. Didn't one of the victims say that he yelled to her for help, and she did nothing?
Let's hope and pray for all the victims that any appeal that he files will be denied, so he can die in prison.
vagis banned, comment spamming a 'think before you vote' message. October is the worst.
The Sanduskys' letters are mortifying and really another form of abuse.
Vote 4 Pedro....I mean....Tyler!
;-)
She claims in that letter how they love the one kid who came forward about her husband yet in the same breath claims they cannot express that love because the kid was a problem child? Now that puts the lie to her statement.
As for Sandusky she is blind or covering, I say she is covering. She knows that to admit she knowledge of what her husband did would land her in womens prison.
Got some news for you Mrs. Sandusky, the cats out of the bag.
I feel sorry for this lady. She is obviously disillusion. All of the things in this letter are proof he did what he did. Going above and beyond to help kids...yeah I bet. Helping them into his bed. What a low life. He took what could have been a great opportunity to help youth and turned it into a nightmare for some poor innocent kids. I hope these victims can get some peace knowing justice has been served. God bless them and I hope they can move on.
I'm sorry, but anyone who dedicates a very huge portion of their time or life to be around kids alone or in small groups, is usually up to no good. It's not natural for an adult to want to always be around kids or claim they receive great satisfaction from doing so.
What did this guy ever do for himself for fun or with other adults? He adopted six children, yet spent all his time with other kids. What did he do for his own kids?
I wanna vote 4 Tyler again!
(BIG smile)
There are tens of thousands of wives that would stand by there man and believe anything they say. We know she has doubts but thats what some women do best, they push them to the side because they don't want to believe it, they don't want to know the truth. Like when some women are confronted with the husbands cheating they would rather try to look past it and pretend it didn't happen so they can go on the way they were. I know she is running every situation through her mind when they had a child in there home and is quesitoning them but she wouldn't say it out loud. She is willing to trash her son for him, further proof that she is one of those women that will take up for the husband even when they are wrong. I'm not even sure this is her real son but I have a hard time believing ALLL these people are lying. For what? All he is saying is that there is a conspiracy. Wow, really? All these people want to see you go down for what reason? Even the police! What do they have to gain? They are trying to save some of what he thought was a glorious reputation, not happening. The damage was done a long time ago you sicko!
I'd have to agree, as a woman you aren't blind to what goes on in your house. She says he's 'truthful', yeah I believe it, just like I suspect she knew what he was doing but she didn't care because she had what she wanted. 45 counts of child rape and that's just the ones that stood forward, if she didn't know about it she is either the dumbest woman in the world or so out of touch with reality her sanity is called into question. But in my opinion she ought to be in jail right along side her husband, those letters are as laughable as they are hurtful in putting blame on the victims.
Or worse, what did he do to them? Those other five adopted Sandusky kids must also have known what was going on in that house even if Sandusky didn't molest them.
Adults might be in denial about what happens in those situations, as many of the victim's parents obviously were, but the kids know!
He s a monster. He will get all that is coming to him.
Mrs. Sandusky you are living in denial. You and your husband are both monsters!
I'll bet Jerry already has a boyfriend. And he hope that Jerry's playing receiver. Only 29 years, 364 days to go. Jerry, enjoy your new freinds.
Jerry is a pedophile, not a homosexual.
Although one would wish it so, I doubt Jerry has a "boyfriend". His boyfriend may be a baseball bat, but I don't think any self respecting prisoner would want to be associated with him in a good way. Unless responsible for pain and eventual death. Nobody's gonna want Sandusky for a sex partner.
A pedophile has no desire at all to EVER have sex with an adult!!!! Sandusky is not a gay man; he is a pedophile. The two are as different as night and day. It would freak Sandusky out to have sex with an adult. Sandusky has no emotional maturity.
I'm surprised Jerry didn't beg the judge to allow him to do his time in some juvenile prison.
You guys do realize that Lipsync Hater is not calling him gay, right? It's well known that men, ahem, "befriend" one another in prison. Calm the eff down, he's not equalizing homosexuality and pedophilia.
Thank you very much amynoelle. My point was that he is guaranteed to get the shaft in prison. I don't care what his sexual preferences are, he's going to have a boyfriend. Hopefully one that looks like a linebacker he once coached!!!
I hope his fellow prisoners give him the "Sandusky" treatment in jail.
He has been in isolation. Only sex partner is his hand.
"guaranteed to get the shaft"
♪♫She gets the goldmine & he gets the shaft!"
;-)
Didn't Sandusky mention in his court soliloquy that he already has "special inmate friends"?
Seems to me he's adjusted to prison life fairly well.
So what everyone is saying is that he is a gay pedophile rather than a hetero pedophile under the law. I'm not sure why it matters. He still is evil.
*Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner in T1.
Hey Tyler, tell 'em what they've won..............

HOLLA!
Just to clear up a little fallacy. When a man molests his daughter, granddaughters, family friend's daughters or kidnaps and rapes girls, he is a heterosexual with an inappropriate desire for very young girls. That is pedophilia.
When a man molests his son, grandson, family friend's sons or kidnaps and rapes boys, he is a homosexual with an inappropriate desire for very young boys. That is homosexuality AND pedophilia.
When a woman is married to either man, she is either totally out of the loop, knows and ignores or knows and leaves. Most women are in the first two groups. A few actually confront the man and leave him to sleep in the bed he made, so to speak. That is when at least she can confront and move beyond. Sadly, there are more victims than her. All the children that were abused and their families have been victimized, too.
This is clearly from the pit of hell. Satan has his hands all over this.
I don't think Sandusky will last very long inside. He's going to have a suicide watch on him but I think they will find him dead trying to suffocate eating his own prison uniform. I'm serious. I assume he won't have the means to hang himself. He will have to be creative.
He thinks to highly of himself to commit suicide in his mind he is great man who was just trying to help and love the less fortunate. just sickening.
He may not last long because someone who is in jail for life will kill him. He won't kill himself, he has a mission now, to get out of jail. He really thinks he didn't do nothing wrong or his victims sub humans so they don't really matter. This case is not over though, I hope the victims take all his Sandusky's and his wife's money. He is just wasting on lawyers. Even the lawyers know that they can't win any appeals. No judge is going to let a child molester free, especially in a case where there are so many victims and two eye witnesses. McCreary and the janitor didn't make this stuff up. There is no reason for a grown man to be even hugging a naked boy in the shower. I really wish Sandusky would just rot in jail and accept that he is not getting out. He will continue to seek attention because that is part of his sickness.
It matters in that he is being associated with a group he does not belong.
And countrygirl78, you are wrong Jerry Sandusky is not a homosexual, he's marred. He has a psychiatric disorder called pedophilia which isn't dependent on gender. The two are so vastly different that only a fraud would try to equate them. Jerry Sandusky would be as interested in man and as much as any other heterosexual male, that is to say he is not interested in men.
It doesn't matter if Jerry is interested in men, it matters if the men are interested in Jerry.
ScottW714-It makes no difference of the age of the person who is abused. It is the gender. When a man sleeps with young boys and is married, he is a closet homosexual that is committing adultery against his wife and the age of the boys means he likes them around puberty. He doesn't want an older boy or one that has slept with another man. He likes them young virgins.
Either way, there is no cure for such as Jerry Sandusky. He will have to be put into segregated population because the men with sons will kill him.
I want to see sources about the homosexuallity thing or else I claim more Americans trying to peddle their opinions as facts. I'm tired of that game.
Who's holding the six-shooter to your head & forcing you to be here?
Don't like what you're reading here?
Go somewhere else. It's that simple.
Really!
I feel sorry for this woman. Jerry Sandusky was a shrewd, calculating sociopath with no moral compass. He was able to manipulate everyone around him, including his wife. I believe that if she were to embrace the truth, she would probably go mad. Knowing that she had shared a life with such a monster, and had aided him in his perpetual violations of young, vulnerable boys, she can't process this. This is a defense mechanism of the highest level. Denial so deep that it says the sky is green and the grass is blue. I see her as just another one of his victims. I truly do.
Unfortunately, I think you may be right, LeeAnn.
And notice how she threw their son Matt under the bus for her husband's sake. Bipolar does not make you a liar. If anything, it might make you keep the knowledge of what happened a secret. Who would willingly admit his dad molested him if he had not? I don't see it.
So LeeAnn, do you see everyone else who knew, but chose not to come forward, as victims, too?
This behavior has been going on for many years, and the wife hasn't always been this little, old fragile lady.
Maxwell, do a little research. You will find lying associated with bipolar disease.
I can tell you right now that Bipolar disorder dose indeed include a penchant for dishonesty. OFC that depends on other factors as well.
Sandusky seems to be proven guilty, and indeed his son's accusations should be believed. There is one thing about this case that bothers me though. The speed that the accusations started coming out and the fact that a good deal of this was over decades worth of time. One can not help but question both the accusations and the timing. I also get the distinct impression that this case had less to do with bringing Sandusky to justice and more to do with damaging the school.
The fact that Sandusky is where he needs to be seems secondary to other considerations.
I believe several people tried to expose it long before it finally hit the fan. No one would listen or follow up on it. This is what makes them all guilty to some degree.
Just because you're bipolar, that doesn't mean you're not telling the truth. A lot of bipolar people get abused opportunistically, BECAUSE the abusers know the victims will never be believed.
So very true! At 33 Itold my mother about being molested by my step father when I was a kid- it started at 5 and stopped at 16. she did almost go MAD! At least she didn't go into denial. But, he admitted to it. Still, living with the knowledge that you have lived with someone like that year after year, decade after decade could be enough to send one over the edge.
I don't understand why there isn't more coverage about the district attorney who was working this case years ago and just disappeared. He was declared dead but he just disappeared, I think there is more to this story, Jerry might be a murderer too.
Dottie should go to jail with him. There's no way that she didn't suspect something after nearly a half a century of her husband disappearing for hours in the basement with an ever-changing assortment of little boys. Enablers should be held as responsible as the perpetrator. Victims have come forward claiming abuse as far back as the 1970's. She has to have known. An enabler helped formally charged, accused pedophile, Sylvain Kustyan, to flee the country back to his native France. The blood of any innocent little victims that he preys on in France should be on her hands and the blood of Sandusky's victims should be on Dottie's hands.
It's the same as two people involved in a bank robbery. The one who goes in the bank and takes the money is just as guilty as the one who sat waiting in the getaway car.
Yes, he IS the MONSTER. Wake up, woman-IN-DENIAL. You should be ashamed of yourself for adding further hurt to HIS VICTIMS. SHAME on YOU!
Amen!!
Well gee, who was having sex with all those boys, then?
You're right Doo-doo Sandusky! Your slimeball husband is WORSE than the monster everyone thinks he is. Apparently, you are pretty creepy also. You probably have known all along what he was doing to those young boys and said NOTHING! You and McQueary aided and abetted him to continue his perversion for many, many years. Now go hide under a rock somewhere! BTW, you won't have to worry about making conjugal visits, Jerry will be well taken care of by his prison bubbas!
You'd think if you got busted with your prick in a little boy, you would stop doing it because the cops could soon be at your door. And if the cops do come to your door and you got away with having sex with a boy, you would stop because they could be watching you closely. Only the truly demented would keep on finding more kids to rape. His wife had to know about the allegations and would also watch him closely for signs that he was molesting little boys. I guess there is nothing suspicious about continuing having little boys down in the basement every night.
How many times have we heard family members and neighbors say the criminal was nice and quiet, and would never do such a thing. He definitely had the wool pulled over her eyes. I doubt she could recognize grooming behavior if it bit her in the butt.
Mrs. Sandusky, if a man stuck his penis in the rectum of YOUR 10-year-old son, what would you call him if he's not a monster?
Sandusky did abuse his own kid!!!!! Sandusky and his wife will go to their graves claiming they never did anything wrong; what a team they were (abuser and enabler) and what a team they are.
Jerry did abuse his adopted son, but Dot just labeled the young man a problem child and said it didn't really happen, he was just lying and is bipolar. Sickening!
Just wonder how long before she files for D-I-V-O-R-C-E? At some point she will have to admit to herself that he is a monster. If not, then she is just as guilty as he was. And by admitting she knew she admits that she allowed it to happen.
We'll see them both in hell.
She gets his pension check every month, so why would she do that? He's in prison for the rest of his life, and she is free to do as she pleases. I can't see any man wanting to be with someone like her, but stranger things have happened in that town.
Actually, Penn State has moved to stop his pension entirely. He doesn't deserve it anyway, and neither does she.
The Univ stopped his pension check. She won't be getting anything from that source... In the neighborhood of $59,000 per year...
"We'll see them both in hell."
Speak for yourself, I plan on spending my spiritual retirement in a more moderate clime.
It is important to note that this act of Sandusky’s and his wife’s are very typical in profiling sexual abusers. They will always and forever be; me, me, me, me, and NEVER have any concern for anyone and their well being. Sandusky has gotten away with sexual abusing little boy’s his entire life (he did NOT start doing this mid life as some sort of mid life crisis) and he is flat out flabbergasted that everyone no longer believes he is innocent of these crimes; after all everyone use to believe he did no wrong. Sandusky and his wife will go to their graves claiming they never did anything wrong; what a team they were (abuser and enabler) and what a team they are.
Elsewhere in these forums you admitted you are a prolific abuse victim. You enjoy blaming Sandusky and his wife for your own issues. I suggest you go accuse the people in your neighborhood who abused you rather than rant on the internet about details that you know nothing about. May God save your soul from the hate that lurks within.
I apologize for the misspelling in my last post, but if anyone saw the movie "Let Go to Prison", Then here's the line that Jerry heard last night. "Jerry my little wrinkled cupcake, before we get into it, have some Merlot, I make it in the toilet".
"he always put others before him..." Can't write lines like that!
yup. He sure did...especially little boys. he really put little boys in front of him for a long time...and she probably knew about it at some point too. These types of people will deny the truth even if you put concrete proof right in front of their faces...sick sick sick...both of them.
Lady should change her name to Cleopatra...queen of da Nile.
She's nuts...she's an enabler and she's in denial....they deserve eachother. Jerry Sandusky made her his tool....Hope they both find it difficult to live with their lies.
He preyed on the weak and feeble-minded, caused by the lack of a caring Dad not stupidity, and it seems that he used the same MO to find himself a wife. The only problem is that she had time to become older and wiser to see him as the monster he was and is and now knows that admitting his previous crimes, or even their likelihood, would implicate her as a failure as a mother, grandmother, and wife. This is a sad and unmoving attempt by a woman to convince the world to believe the dreams that allow her to sleep.
I hope they shatter.
Really Dottie? not a monster?? he was tried and convicted so obviously somethings not right with him. I guess your classification of a monster has no merit because to the rest of the SANE world he is the poster child of what a monster truly is, he shouldnt be sitting in a jail cell he should be taken out and shot. get a grip, stand by your man does not apply under these circumstances and the fact that you had to have had some knowledge about what was going makes you as big as a monster as he is. may he rot in hell and for all I care you can join him.
Umm...yes, he is a monster...the Pee Pee Monster.
Dottie, go see a shrink, you're as sick as your hubby.
OBLIVIOUS!
Well Sandusky will be in good hands in prison, this time I think there might be somebody standing behind him in the showers. One can only hope. And I hope he lives a Long, Long, Long, time in prison.
Jerry Sanduski is exactly the monster he is made out to be. I'm alittle curious how Mrs. Sanduski doesn't know about her husbands goings on since alot of this happened in the home. You don't live with somebody for that many years and know nothing.
Oh, yes, Troy I agree with you. She just turned a blind eye.
She knew what was going on and many others knew what was going on. A successful assistant coach doesn't just retire and put on a do not hire list. Penn State officials knew that he was a pedophile but like it happens in a lot of families, people turn a blind eye to the uncle who puts the little kids on his lap. Denial is better than reality to a lot of people. Denial helps them keep their sanity, keep their house, jobs, families, etc, facing the truth would disrupt their lives.
Hey, Dottie, what's your definition of a Monster then?
damn good question
who is bigger loser, dot or jer
I think that I just threw up a little in my mouth. Blaming the victims is beyond the pale.
