SANDUSKY CONVICTED OF 45 COUNTS

[cynical]

Except for his notoriety as a Penn State coordinator, the Sandusky case was exactly like thousands of others. The grooming, the use of an childrens' organization as a front to gain access to children over many years, all has been repeated so many times that it is hard to believe how skeptical some were about the allegations at first. What is especially frustrating to those of us who have worked in the child abuse field is the choice Penn State's leadership made to protect Sandusky - not because they approved of what he did, but because outing Sandusky would make the university look bad. How do they look now? Are the former athletic director and university president any better than the Philadelphia Monsignor who was recently convicted?

For a local example, read the recent This Land article about the serial child sexual abuse and coverup at Grace Church: http://thislandpress.com/05/23/2012/grace-in-broken-arrow/. It will make your blood run cold.

Just another northeast Oklahoma cult.... has been for a long time.

Sandusky is going to be the only guy in hell that when he walks into a room Hitler and Pol Pot cover their face and walk away.

This is what I'm waiting to see whats going to happen next. The conviction of Sandusky is the first ripple that I think is going to really upset things at Penn State. I just think that so many people turned a blind eye, and swept this under the rug for years, (yes, to me there was a coverup or denial take your choice) and the ramifications from this may very well go to the top of Penn State.

That picture says it all. Doesn't he look happy? That's because he will just be trading a little unit for a big unit.
Now if he was being sexually abused by a woman. That would be torture for him.

Sandusky is an evil man who should spend all his remaining years in jail.  However, I don't see anything funny or flippant about prison rape – it is a violent crime perpetrated against individuals who are in the custody and care of the state and federal government that usually goes unpunished.  Unlike capital punishment, which is carried out under elaborate and carefully proscribed rules, prison rape is the perpetual torture of fellow inmates to which the prison system and society turn a blind eye.

DTowner. Prison rape in male institutes are not as common as the public thinks. There are to many willing subjects. But when it does happen and the subject is found to be guilty of it. He is transferred to a higher level yard, looses all his gained levels and has more time added to his sentence.
That is why pedophiles and rapists are sent to minimum yards for protection from other inmates. Everyone there are one step away from going home and don't want to mess that up just to make a point.
Harassment and sometimes violence are more the normal treatment for the suspected cho mo's

I'm not an expert on the topic (in any sense of the meaning of expert), but many articles seem to imply it is a problem and resulted in a law in 2003 and recent regulations to implement that law.

Whatever the frequency, my point was it is not a laughing matter or an acceptable form of punishment.

Let us just refer to it as Prison Love Making.  I think Jerry will think of it that way, in fact he may actually discover that fantasy world that he was trying so hard to live in outside of prison. 

He likes spending time with young men, and most of the people he will be incarcerated with will be "right up his alley!"

He will probably need to broaden his preferences.

He will probably need to broaden his preferences.

He'll likely also need to broaden his stance...

Funny, Google "Geraldine Sandusky" under images and his image comes up.  I guess his prison nickname has already been chosen.
