(Newser) – Mike McQueary's testimony that he believes he saw Jerry Sandusky molesting a boy and that he fully conveyed what he had seen to two Penn State administrators helped seal the deal: A judge ruled today that prosecutors have enough evidence to send the officials' cases to trial, reports Reuters. Former Penn State athletic director Tim Curley and finance official Gary Schultz are accused of lying to a grand jury about what McQueary told them. They told the grand jury that they recalled McQueary reporting only something inappropriate, like wrestling, but nothing as serious as rape, notes the AP.

Wrestling or "something". Just horsin' around. Notice the size of Jerry Sandusky. Now think about how big his 10-year old playmates were. And Mrs. Sandusky heard the screams of the rape happening in their basement. And she is not guilty as an accessory? Sandusky gets life. He won't last long there. Semen is fatal in large doses.

Please, kindly, allow these men to experience the full hospitality of other men with power over them, 24/7.
