Two allegations of child abuse brought against Jerry Sandusky by family members after his November arrest have been labeled unfounded, the attorney for the former Penn State football defensive coordinator said.
The 68-year-old Sandusky received a letter in the mail from Children and Youth Services last month telling him that two cases opened shortly after his Nov. 5 arrest on dozens of separate child sex abuse charges would not lead to more charges.
Attorney Joe Amendola also said prosecutors have given no indication that Sandusky will face additional charges in the ongoing grand jury investigation that have led to more than 50 charges against Sandusky in cases involving 10 alleged victims.

I guess 2 charges don't really matter but I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

i would read it skeptically. it could easily been a he said/she said and the DA just doesn't have the evidence to proceed.
despicable predator. he must be a real shit of a human to put his family through this. he should plead guilty and go to prison until he dies and let them get on with their lives. jmo

not just for his family but for the kids as well.

If child-rape did occur I'd like to see him nailed to a flaming wheel and rolled into an alligator infested swamp. BUT my preference is for no child ever having been abused, if that can be accepted in the light in which it is intended.
