Sandusky Witness: I Screamed During Rapes

Final prosecution witness describes brutal attacks

(Newser) – The final prosecution witness in the Jerry Sandusky rape trial gave the most harrowing testimony yet. The young man, now 18, said a three-year relationship with Sandusky began when he was 12 years old, and it wasn't long before the sexual assaults began, reports the Daily Beast. He testified that he stayed overnight at Sandusky's home some 100 times, and the former Penn state coach often forced him to perform oral sex and raped him several times. The teen, known as Victim 9, says he met Sandusky through the Second Mile charity Sandusky founded, and his mother encouraged the relationship so he could have a male figure in his life.

"He got real aggressive and he forced me into it. There was no fighting against it," he said, describing the rapes by the man who grossly outweighed him. "Sometimes I’d scream, tell him to get off me." He said he hoped Sandusky's wife would hear his screams from upstairs, but there was no answer. "I think the basement is soundproof," he said. The accuser, who testified that he sometimes bled after the attacks, said the assaults continued until he "grew a pair of balls" and refused to return to the Sandusky household. Asked to identify his attacker, he pointed at Sandusky without looking at him. "I don't want to look at him," he said.

How is it even remotely possible that he committed literally hundreds of sexual assaults in his very own home, on minimum 9 male children during Michael-Jackson-style adult-with-kid sleep-overs, during minimum 15 years where he lived with wife and 6 adopted kids, and none of those 6 children or wife or visitors or neighbors ever accidentally heard or saw any related behavior, calls, notes, receipts, letters or videos? How could he be first accused by a victim of such horrific behavior in 1998 that college executives forced him to retire, covered up his crimes and retirement as he continued to be visually seen assaulting other children such as by the janitor, yet no adult once ever called police? How can his attorney even dare to ask why these children did not call police when it happened, when EACH AND EVERY ADULT, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, REFUSED TO DIAL 911 THEMSELVES even once during at least 15 years, instead choosing to leave these children utterly helpless and defenseless against their attacker?

No doubt Sandusky is a piece of shit, but there were many others who are guilty because they turned a blind eye to the molestation.  Sandusky could have been in jail years ago.

these kids are so brave to recount the atrocities that this disgusting pervert forced upon them. he completely betrayed the trust they had in him. i wonder: did he sexually abuse children he and his wife adopted, or other family member's children? if it comes out that he didn't well, i'd just have to believe otherwise. he's a child predator. that's what they do.  how he can sit in court and face them is beyond me. he appears to have no guilt or feelings that he did anything wrong. i hope the jury convicts and he goes away to prison for life. but the shit slime ball will probably be in the protective custody unit. for shame if that happens. throw him into the general population and let the cards fall where they may.
