So It Goes

Jerry Sandusky used to be a coach in the Penn State football program.
A recent scandal broke showing that several members of the program and university administration were aware of alleged sexual abuse of young boys by Sandusky and nothing was ever reported to police. Sandusky helped run a charity for at-risk young boys.
Sandusky has been indicted, with 8 victims so far, and the university president and long time head football coach, Joe Paterno, have been fired. Two others have been indicted for lying to the grand jury, Tim Curley, athletic director, and Gary Schultz, senior vp for finance and business.
Penn State students rioted at the news of JoePa being fired. Jon Stewart does not approve. http://www.newser.com/story/133116/video-jon-stewart-shames-penn-state-rioters-on-the-daily-show.html?utm_medium=fark&utm_campaign=pop
Grand jury indictment: http://www.crewof42.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Sandusky-indictment.pdf
Sandusky's bail was set by a judge who allegedly has ties to his charity. http://deadspin.com/5859075/judge-who-set-unsecured-bail-for-jerry-sandusky-is-a-second-mile-volunteer
Sandusky did a creepy national TV interview with Bob Costas. Part of it didn't air. http://pittsburgh.sbnation.com/penn-st-nittany-lions/2011/11/15/2564760/jerry-sandusky-interview-unaired-portion-raises-questions-about
Sandusky published an autobiography titled "Touched" in 2001.
Assistant coach McQueary is cited in the indictment as having directly seen Sandusky raping a boy in the locker room in 2002. He has since stated he actually stopped what was happening. He reported it to Paterno, who then reported up the chain of administration to Curley. Sandusky retired in 1999 but still had access to the facilities through the charity. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-15750684
So here is a place to discuss this and the new stuff that comes out about this scandal, which is becoming worse by the day, really.

His lawyer scheduled it for him.
Part of me hopes the lawyer did that on purpose.
Let's play Mario Kart or something...
I don't think it helped him, honestly.
and I wonder if it was even ethical on the lawyer's part!
BOB COSTAS
19:00:28:00: "But isn't what you're just describing the classic MO of many pedophiles? And that is that they gain the trust of young people, they don't necessarily abuse every young person. There were hundreds, if not thousands of young boys you came into contact with, but there are allegations that at least eight of them were victimized. Many people believe there are more to come. So it's entirely possible that you could've helped young boy A in some way that was not objectionable while horribly taking advantage of young boy B, C, D, and E. Isn't that possible?"
JERRY SANDUSKY:
19:01:01:00: "Well -- you might think that. I don't know. (LAUGHS) In terms of -- my relationship with so many, many young people. I would-- I would guess that there are many young people who would come forward. Many more young people who would come forward and say that my methods and-- and what I had done for them made a very positive impact on their life. And I didn't go around seeking out every young person for sexual needs that I've helped. There are many that I didn't have-- I hardly had any contact with who I have helped in many, many ways."
Sandusky might try to sue his attorney for malpractice if the attorney did, in fact, schedule this interview/not intervene during the interview. There's a lot that would have to be proven in a malpractice suit, but yeah, the attorney could face civil liability if he had anything to do with the interview.
I mean, a guy who ran a charity for at risk youth, who wrote a book called "touched" is a pedophile who chooses a cradle robber for his attorney? Really?
Let's play Mario Kart or something...
So messed up.
Kids are like a Subway club card - get it punched every time you help a kid; turn in a fully-punched card for a guilt-free child-rape.
Ugh, maybe now that the famous coach guy is gone the media will turn back to burning this motherfucker alive.

That Costas interview was just...strange. I don't know if Sandusky is totally oblivious or emotionally detached from his current situation and what he's done, or if he was medicated during the interview. He did not come across as a person that is feeling anything resembling remorse or guilt.
EDIT: Also, I nominate this photo for the OP.
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
What the crap! Either that is the poorest choice of words ever, or he just admitted on camera to having sex with kids. He must have the worlds dumbest lawyer.
it's called 'psychopathy'.
"It doesn't matter what I did! These kids will vouch for me! THEY'LL VOUCH FOR ME, DAMMIT! I'm always allowed to get away with this shit when people cover-up my horrifying behavior for me because I'm a smooth-talker, so I don't see why it should be different this time!"
Yeah, 'Touched' the biography. What a sick motherfucker. Well, at least we now know that he's been an active predator since at least 2001, which makes the idea that he's only raped 8 victims pretty laughable.

In his defence, some of them might have been ugly.
Hahaha. You mean now that Paterno has been fired maybe the media will actually start talking about Sandusky? ESPN managed to talk about the scandal for 3 or 4 days without regularly mentioning anyone by name other than Paterno.
Its disgusting that the media did this.
Joe Paterno was wrong he admitted as much but maybe focus on the deranged sexual predator
That's downright fucked. Why would they be interested in protecting Sandusky?
I think everybody knows that Sandusky is going down, the media doesn't need to condemn him for that to happen. Paterno is the celebrity going down in flames, of course he gets the media coverage.
Also it's not gay if you say "good game."
but seriously, Sandusky's going to burn in hell, and I don't even believe in it... I just hope he burns on earth, too-- just in case the afterlife is make believe.

If you're damn near 50 and banging someone that's young enough that you'd have to get their parents' written permission to marry them, it's pretty safe to say you're a cradle robber. At a minimum, it's horribly unethical to bang a current/former client (of any age).
I read a comment somewhere that this interview might turn out to be Sandusky's suicide note.
Rigorous Scholarship
Originally, the interview was going to be of the lawyer. He then had the brilliant idea to let Sandusky speak for himself. Worst. Lawyer. Ever.
According to the article she worked for his law firm and they were "friends" before he represented her for emancipation. So there was a personal relationship before he represented her.
FWIW.
Which isn't much.
A guy pushing 50 banging someone less than half his age is just creepy.
Rigorous Scholarship
Wow. So he was banging her (a subordinate employee at that), her parents wouldn't let them get married, so he had her legally emancipated? Super creepy.
Moral of this story:
If you can't answer the question "Are you sexually attracted to young boys?" with "Absolutely not, don't be stupid." Then don't do the interview.
Rigorous Scholarship
If that's what Sandusky and his lawyer were trying to do with this interview, I can't say that it was a success.
Rigorous Scholarship
Yeah, someone who covers up child rape should be lauded! Because FOOTBALL.

I just see no reason in focusing on Paterno to the point where some people had no clue what Sanduskys name was.
