It's even more repulsive to think that this man would rather have a coach than have his hero pay for damaging children, including one of his own.

And like the vast majority of molesters, sees nothing wrong with using children for sex. Instead, they think it's a terrible crime to talk about it or do anything to stop it or punish it.

That's ... sick.

Sandusky isn't going to walk--even if he gets away with this trial. The prosecution has lined up another bite of the apple.

Report: Prosecutors Have More Victims Ready To Come Forward If Jerry Sandusky Is Acquitted
Another day, another round of potential allegations of child sex abuse against Jerry Sandusky. Last night, NBC's Rock Center aired a report in which 30-year-old Travis Weaver said Sandusky began abusing him when he was 10, and that the molestation even took place during a trip to California for Penn State's Rose Bowl appearance in 1995.

Weaver, who moved to Ohio to live with his mother when he was 14 to get away from Sandusky, is not one of the 10 victims whose allegations are part of the current trial. He's also filed a civil suit against Sandusky, Penn State, and The Second Mile. But it's at the end of the 12-minute Rock Center segment that reporter Kate Snow drops this bombshell:

"He is now part of a second group of guys who came forward later, who did testify—he testified before a grand jury, prosecutors have his testimony, he's willing to testify in court. They're holding that group in case they need them, in case they get a not guilty verdict out of this current jury. They could potentially go after federal charges against Jerry Sandusky."

and Second Mile for a while. They could indict him on a whole range of things. Their jurisdiction could include the abuse charges and charges of a financial nature. They have jurisdiction in a couple of the abuse cases that involved the kids Sandusky took to bowl games. He crossed state lines.

The feds are mean SOBs who don't give a shit about your age or whatever. The only thing that might save him from that would be a lack of evidnce in their eyes or some shite in DC pulling strings.

more charges, apparently, if the guy doesn't go away for a long, long, long time. And maybe even if he does...!

this guy shows up. You really have to ask how this Sandusky guy hasn't killed himself?

I guess he's one of those people that can go around knowing everyone thinks he's a perverted freak and not care. He lived with the kids knowing it for all those years, not to mention his wife.

There are some people you can't completely trust, but at least they won't steal or anything in a situation where everyone is likely to know it had to be them. Other people are completely comfortable with that. If you can't prove it, they don't care. I guess if this Sandusky guy were to get off somehow, he'd find a way to enjoy the rest of his life.

Those "other people" are clueless, they "just don't understand."

I'm sure he's in a world of his own...but he might have a few pals in that world who feel the same perverted way he does.

If Sandusky beats this rap, his adopted son is standing by with new charges. And he's got a co-plaintiff.

The fact that they've gotten drunk and smashed things before doesn't change the fact that a good chunk of the student body rioted because they thought it would be better to defend rapists than to damage their athletics.

Fuck 'em.
