1. Child Sex Abuse

really does tend to run in a straight line where the abusers were often abused as children themselves.

We have to start working with kids the minute we find out they are being abused to ensure that they have a decent chance of not becoming an abuser later on.

A well known therapist from Serria Tuscon Treatment Center, Pia Melody . She explained that the child sexual abused victims often comit the same abuse in order to " dump the original shame. So, yes, it continues.

Watched a pretty telling documentary on Jerry. Took down his big statue on campus and how MANY were totally PO and willing to look the other way for a winning program.

Sick beyond belief.

And as much as Jerry was a monster, he could have been a victim as a child also. I am not excusing his actions and he deserves life in prison.

during that first trial, wasn't it implied that he was abused by the adopted father Jerry?

but it's pretty common that there is a cycle of abuse, so the odds of his having been abused as a kid are higher than average, I'd guess.

It is sick, and it is sad, but the unfortunate reality is that there is a victim to abuser syndrome in a lot of these cases.

Excruciatingly for the victims, but also a just a tiny bit for the "trained" progeny of a serial offender. We can only hope the chain has been broken, but without intensive therapy for the son's victims and their possible future actions, it may yet continue.

They removed Joe Paterno's statue because he was lynched in the court of public opinion by ESPN et al Paterno did more good for humankind than anybody in his position of head coach at any University PSU Board Of Trustrees made Joe the scapegoat because they did not how to how handle former coach Sandusky who committed his crimes off campus particularly with the youth program he founded called 2nd Mile which was never investigated and had $$ ties with former Repub PA AG and Governor Tom Corbett Over 5 years later no Penn St official (Shultz Spanier Curley) has been convicted or even come to trail Now Sandusky son gets arrested and Paterno is to blame? Flake off!

I agree. Paterno definitely was not The Cloud Being's gift to humankind. it follows logically that if Paterno squashed complaints about Sandusky to save a program then Corbett as then AG may have played a role to save his political ass. No guvship with that kind of baggage.

Paterno was told by the coach who saw Sandusky having sex with a boy in the showers what he saw. He covered it up!!! COVERED UP THE RAPE OF A CHILD. I hope Paterno is burning in the fires of hell!!

District Judge Kelley Gillette-Walker set bail at $200,000. Jeffrey Sandusky was unable to post bond and remanded to Centre County Correctional Facility.

The charges include criminal solicitation of statutory sexual assault by a person 11 years older, criminal solicitation of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse of a person less than 16 years old, two counts of criminal solicitation of photograph or film depicted on the computer of a sex act knowingly involving a child, six counts of communicating with a minor - sexual abuse and two counts of criminal solicitation of child pornography, all felonies, and two misdemeanor counts of corruption of minors.

Jeffrey Sandusky is one of the six adopted children of Jerry Sandusky, the retired Penn State defensive coordinator whose 2011 arrest and 2012 conviction on 45 of 48 counts of child sex abuse crimes rocked the university and led to a major spotlight on pedophilia in Pennsylvania.

Jerry Sandusky maintains his innocence of the crimes and continues to pursue a new trial. He is incarcerated at Greene state prison in Waynesburg.

21. Child molestors seem genetically hard wired for it.

But I bet Sandusky Sr. molested his own son.

One common thing is many of these child molestors have been molested themselves. I wonder if a certain amount of them wouldn't even molest if they were never molested.

Not everyone molested becomes a child molestor, but there 'seems' to be a correlation for child molestors where they have been molested.
