what the heck is "mildly raped"? Is that like a little pregnant.

I don't know why he isn't being investigated for gross negligence and failure to report what he knew at that time. That's a crime just like the heads of Penn State being charged for not reporting the crimes. His motive to hide it was and is that he was on the board of Penn State and wanted to hide this so Penn State would not be charged. Wrong ! They are charge now and so should Tom Corbett, the so called Governor of Pennsylvania. He is just as much a criminal as the heads of Penn State University. Charge him and let the Lt. Governor be incharge until a re-election can be held.

CORBETT NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED.

Well if you vote Mittens in you can best believe it will be just like Jerry violating those kids.

OMFG, can we not turn every discussion into a f'ing political one? Idiot.

C'mon Roman Gabriel and OMG you guys have to be smarter than these posts. Clean it up fellas.

Roman Gabriel- you should be morally ashamed and intellectually embarrassed to make such a ridiculous, ignorant comparison. I sure hope that none of the Sandusky victims read the Patch.

I'm voting for President Obama.
I remember the months of negative GDPs, tanking as low as -9%
I remember the months of job losses as high as 700,000 per month and another 4 million jobs lost the 1st 9 months of Obama's term
I remember a DOW <7000
And today
- 2+ years of positive GDPs
- 30-months of private sector growth leading to 5 million jobs; a thriving auto industry and S&P 500 profits at pre-2007 levels
- and a DOW >13,000

YOUR hate of Obama isn't a good enough reason to bring back the same policies that nearly tanked us 4 years ago.

WHAT? I very much dislike Obama as much as anyone...but your statement is hurtful to me. I do not have nightmeres about Obama. As much as I hate that abortion is legal...nobody forces you to get one. As much as I hate all the $ given away to foreign interest and welfare, it does not take away the pride I have for being responsible with my own checking account. You need to not make statements comparing anything as worse than the "horrors of JS." Nobody is getting sentenced...people vote. Let's pray that the vote is against socialism. But please do not insult victims that way.

This is not the setting for those comments at all. They are in poor and unprofessional conduct to bring Obama into this forum.

Under Obama's admin...the stock market (Dow Jones) went from 7,300 at Bush's end of office to 13,500 today. BARRACK ROCKS ! And thank you for Obamacare...thanks for the free flu shot this this....Obama!

*this year

I can't find it anywhere but it will probably show up on CNN or something soon.

A portion of his recent state on Penn State Radio is here: http://southwhitehall.patch.com/articles/jerry-sandusky-says-he-s-a-victim-of-a-conspiracy#video-11653691

If he was 20 years old, he would have been sentenced to a much longer sentence. It was made for 30 to 60 years because he won't live long enough to get out.

@ Jeffrey....A couple of other people said that too...Just as long as the loser never gets out!!!!!!

AMEN!

You said it, Tony. Time to move on and help those who really need and deserve it. Don't give Sandusky any more time of day.

the legal talk is of sending him to a federal prision (not one with violent criminals)...it will be like a country club...where he'll be able to write his memoirs in peace.

If he gets to be in the general population, he will deserve to his kind of justice served and if he gets solitary, he can play with himself until he goes blind for all I care.

If we can get a Democratic DA in November, she has vowed to investigate Corbett's role in the cover up. If a Republican wins, we can expect more of the same. Elections have consequences so get out a vote on November 6th!

I agree with you completely -- Corbett should be re-called for dereliction of duty.

Governor Tom Corbett should be charge and tried by a Grand Jury, then, he will be found guilty as charged and impeached and disgraced and live the next 15 to 25 years in his own peneteniary. Maybe even in the cell with Sandusky.

Wrong crime, Mcdonald, but you have the right idea.

You're a very brave person.
I am sorry for the loss of the child you were before you were abused.

To jmtm11: You are correct about no sentence will erase any of those horrible crimes, but Penn State University did victimize McCleary when he came forward to tell the truth. Not the same way, victimized, but Penn State University did everything they could to put down McCleary and discredit him. He should sue their asses off.

You bet, Kim. He'll get his and God will see to an even more appropriate punishment.

They had to do it, if they never covered this up, handled it as they should have, just imagine the boys they would have saved from being raped. Football should never come before children's safety, it is a shame for the football players, but thats a small price to pay compared to raping a child.

Yes, it does suck, however the University has to pay for their part in the illegal cover up. It is a shame the players will suffer, but it's the University's fault. Maybe those players who are losing out should sue Penn State for what they have to go through.

ditto

I hear ya.

Yup, Obama loves dependant people like you. We didnt forget that when a local police officer was murdered last month, your only concern was how his funeral was going to effect your govt. subsidized bus ride to work. Its the culture of govt dependacy that your a part of, that is killing this country. I will give you credit for at least having a job. Now go back home, i think you left your trailor door open.

I love Roman Gabriel's comments. Innappropriate and rude of course. But this is 2012...and he must not have spellcheck, and can NOT spell even as well as a 12 year old.. he can't spell Barack, dependent, or trailer. Weird.

David,
His own adopted son came out to say that he was also a victim. I guess we will find out at the appeal.

David Franklin, I am not a legal expert and I don't know for sure if Sandusky received a technically fair trial or not. For the sake of argument, let's say that all ten alleged victims did conspire against him. What about his own son, who claims abuse, as well? Should it really matter that the jury didn't believe McQueary - PSU bigwigs went a long way to insert doubt in their attempt to distort his testimony. And what of the janitor? And the e-mails claiming something like, "the only way this can hurt us is if it gets out"? What about the school guidance counselors who sounded the alarm regarding some of the kids? Maybe the proper evidence wasn't supplied as it should have been. But, many of us regular folks in the gutless majority, as you qualify us, have run into narcisissts, sociopaths and pathological liars. Many have witnessed their inability to empathize with others or claim responsibility for their actions. All the allegations in their totality paint a rotten picture in the minds of many, many level-headed Americans. And if we're not a jury of his peers I don't know what is.

Well David, there were no "other" alternatives. The man was found guilty of all the charges. If there were any questions about what he did, some of those charges would have been thrown out. But all the charges stuck and rightfully so.

He did rape them, rape is rape

Hey Tim, you better check the legal defination of Rape. You're wrong here and even "if" you are correct, he would still be found guilty of sexual abuse and it was all with minors. The jerk is a pedifile and that's all that matters for this piece of the story.

Sandusky was convicted of a tad bit more than sexual abuse of a minor. He specifically was convicted of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, which most people would call rape.

So he doesn't rape more boys!

K Mcdonalds, he can now rape men in prison

Hey, Bruce, do you have children? Do you go to college with them? AND how do you know what the parents went through?? From what I've read, some of the parents DID DO something about this and it was hushed up. Please do not paint a generalized picture of what parents do with their children. Also, until you've stepped into their shoes and experienced something like this, please be careful about judging others.
