Jerry Sandusky admits to showering with boys, but says he never did anything sexual

Former coach Jerry Sandusky was interviewed by Bob Costas for NBC on Monday and these were his responses to the molestation allegations and charges:

"I enjoy being around children," Sandusky said. "I enjoy their enthusiasm. I just have a good time with them."

"I could say that I have done some of those things. I have horsed around with kids I have showered after workouts. I have hugged them and I have touched their legs without intent of sexual contact."

When Costas pressed him, asking if he was willing to concede to any wrongdoing, Sandusky replied: "I shouldn't have showered with those kids."

Ok do you remember back when you were a kid and were suspected/caught doing something bad, and you knew you wouldn't get away with saying you didn't do anything at all, so you'd admit to doing a tiny part of it, in the hopes that you'd just get a quick scolding and it would all be forgotten in a few minutes? Like "What? I don't know what happened to Dad's birthday cake, I mean I ate a tiny piece of icing off the corner but that was it. Must have been someone else".

Yeah, that tactic doesn't quite work as well with molestation charges. "Me? Pedophile? no...I mean, sure, we horsed around a lot...naked..you know, showering, touching their legs...but nothing sexual no of course not".

Either admit it and face reality or just shut the fuck up because this is just pathetic, even Michael Jackson knew better than this.

Penn State sex abuse scandle: the column 6 months ago that turned out to be right

The shocking revelations that former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky had been molesting young boys in a Penn State locker room has turned things upside down for Penn State this week and has ended the career of coach Joe Paterno. But while most were finding out about the coverup for the first time this week, one columnist, radio host Mark Madden, wrote about a possible Penn State sex scandal coverup 6 months ago and it has turned out to be very accurate.

From timesonline.com (dated Apr 4 2011):

Allegations of improper conduct with an underage male first surfaced in 1998, while Sandusky was still employed by Penn State. That incident allegedly occurred in a shower at Penn State's on-campus football facility. No charges were filed.

Best-case scenario: Charges are never brought, and Sandusky walks away with his reputation permanently scarred. The rumors, the jokes, the sideways glances - they won't ever stop. Paterno and Penn State do the great escape.

Unfortunately this turned out to be exactly what did happen. And it's interesting to note the comments written back when the article was written in April:



It just goes to show how hard it is for those trying to get the truth out when sexual abuse takes place. Everyone immediately defends the accused and points fingers at the accuser. We wonder if michael5148 will be renewing his subscription now.
