They also said in Penn. there is no chance for parole unless he admits to having committed the crimes he was accused of which he hasn't done yet. Of course the chances of him getting paroled before he dies, since he's 68, is nil. Thank God for that.

One witness testified last week that he was attacked by Jerry Sandusky in the basement of the home and cried out for help when Dottie Sandusky was upstairs. She said the basement was not soundproof and she would have been able to hear shouting.
She rebutted one accuser's claim that her husband tried to engage in oral sex with him while in a hotel bathroom at the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio, Texas. The man said the assault was interrupted when she walked into an adjoining room."They were just standing ... in a hallway kind of thing... they had their clothes on, they were fully clothed," she said.

Cupcakes FTW!
As soon as the lights went out at night, Sandusky's fellow inmates at the Centre County Correctional Facility serenaded him with a chorus from Pink Floyd's "The Wall":
"Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone!"
Similar humiliations are expected to continue now that Sandusky is back in jail having been convicted of the crimes.
Jerry Sandusky is currently on suicide watch. He'll be sentenced in 90 days.

Jerry Sandusky Pension: Convicted Child Molester Will Continue Collecting At Penn, Taxpayer Expense Convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky likely won't be forfeiting his $59,000 annual pension, despite being found guilty of 45 charges surrounding child sex abuse. "My immediate, authentic, organic reaction as a human being and a woman is, how awful," Tara Fields, Ph.D., M.F.T. told The Huffington Post. But Sandusky's crimes and other crimes against children do not fall under Pennsylvania's Act 140, a 1978 state statute that enables prosecutors to request the forfeiture of a criminal's pension. Sandusky, a former Penn State assistant football coach, was convicted Friday of 45 of 48 criminal counts related to the alleged assault of 10 boys over a 15-year period. The allegations led to the ouster of Penn State University's president, and the university's longtime football coach Joe Paterno, who died in January. The 68-year-old could spend the rest of his life in prison. "How terrible it is that this type of crime was never incorporated in the bill," said Fields, a licensed marriage and family therapist who has not treated Sandusky. Act 140 is largely related to embezzlement, tampering with witnesses, forging documents and similar crimes, according to veteran attorney and legal analyst Anne Bremner. "The type [of crimes] traditionally characterized under the umbrella of abuse of public office or public misconduct," said Bremner, who feels Pennsylvania lawmakers should immediately work to reform the law. "Obviously, it was the intent of the legislature to disallow benefits to those who [abused their positions], but isn't it a far worse abuse of office to use your position [to be] a virtual pied piper of children -- [a] 'tickle monster' who groomed, fed, gifted and molested the children ..." Bremner asked. If an amendment passed tomorrow, however, it likely won't affect Sandusky and he would continue collecting his state pension. "There are times when the General Assembly has passed bills, there are efforts to apply retroactively, sometimes with success. But in the criminal setting, it is an uphill battle to apply conduct retroactively," Pennsylvania attorney and former Attorney General's office employee Jim Kutz told WHTM.Kutz said Penn State's hands also are tied because Sandusky's pension is a binding contract. "I don't think Penn State could do anything if they wanted to," he told WHTM. And if that's not enough to anger residents of Pennsylvania, Bremner said, they should know Sandusky's pension is partially funded by taxpayers. "A $148K lump sum and over $50K a year for life or for [his wife] Dottie's life, if she survives him," Bremner told HuffPost. "Maybe in 1978, the lawmakers didn't foresee this type of catastrophic, debilitating and horribly damaging scenario. Or then again, maybe they didn't want to talk about it." While there may be little lawmakers can do to prevent Sandusky from collecting his pension, Fields said it should send a message that child sexual abuse should not be ignored. "This is going to be a wake-up call for people who didn't care or didn't have an opinion when they find out that their money -- their tax dollars -- whether they like it or not, are being affected by these crimes," she said.

More Penn State emails surface regarding McQueary's 2001 report of seeing Jerry Sandusky showering with a boy CHARLES THOMPSON, The Patriot-News 06/30/2012 12:17 AM A CNN report Friday night shed more light on the evolution of top Penn State administrators’ reaction to a February 2001 incident in which then-graduate assistant Michael McQueary caught former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky showering with a young boy in the campus football building. The report, focusing on a series of emails after McQueary's initial reports about the incident, suggested that shortly after receiving them, then Vice President for Finance and Business Affairs Gary Schultz developed a three-part plan to talk with Sandusky; contact the Second Mile — the youth charity Sandusky founded; and inform child welfare authorities. But that plan was put on hold, the report stated, Feb. 27, when Schultz received an e-mailed reply from Athletic Director Tim Curley — apparently after a discussion with head football coach Joe Paterno — in which Curley suggests talking with Sandusky directly before alerting any outside authorities. "After giving it more thought and talking it over with Joe yesterday, I am uncomfortable with what we agreed were the next steps," CNN quoted Curley as saying in an email. Curley indicated, according to the report, that he planned to talk with Sandusky and also contact The Second Mile, but not necessarily the child welfare office if Sandusky cooperated and got professional help. Paterno testified to a grand jury in January 2011 that when told of the 2001 incident by McQueary, he passed it up along the chain of command to Curley and was no longer involved. The CNN report then referenced a third e-mail, later on Feb. 27, in which Spanier appeared to voice his support for Curley’s plan. "I am supportive," Spanier emailed Curley, according to the e-mails obtained by CNN. "The only downside for us if the message isn’t heard and acted upon, and then we become vulnerable for not having reported it," Spanier wrote. The CNN report did not identify the source of the latest emails. A previously leaked email, presumbaly from the same exchange, quoted Spanier as stating that dealing with the Sandusky allegations internally would be the "humane" way to approach the situation. Penn State officials never reported the 2001 incident to police or child welfare authorities, and Sandusky was convicted last week of molesting 10 different boys at various times between 1994 and 2008. The attorney for one of those victims, Thomas R. Kline, said in a follow-up interview on the cable network that the exchange appears to show "a conscious decision to make the wrong decision" regarding Sandusky. "There could not be a poorer choice made... and more reckless conduct by people charged with the running of the university," Kline said. Curley and Schultz have been charged with perjury for lying to the Sandusky grand jury about what they knew about the McQueary report, and failure to report suspected child abuse and are awaiting trial in Dauphin County court. Their lawyers, Caroline Roberto and Tom Farrell, issued this statement to CNN: "As Governor Tom Corbett stated, ‘If we are going to do this case, we had to have the best possible case to go against somebody like Mr. Sandusky who was … loved by everybody … carried out of the football stadium on the shoulders of his football team.' "For Curley, Schultz, Spanier and Paterno, the responsible and ‘humane’ thing to do was, like Governor Corbett, to carefully and responsibly assess the best way to handle vague, but troubling allegations. Faced with tough situations, good people try to do their best to make the right decisions." A spokesman for Paterno’s family told CNN that neither he nor the Paterno family had seen any emails.
