Sandusky’s Son: He Abused Me

BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) — A lawyer for an adopted son of Jerry Sandusky says the man has told authorities the former Penn State assistant football coach abused him.

Matt Sandusky is one of Jerry Sandusky’s six adopted children.

His lawyer issued a statement Thursday naming Matt Sandusky and saying that the 33-year-old had been prepared to testify on behalf of prosecutors at his father’s sex abuse trial.

The statement says Matt Sandusky is “a victim of Jerry Sandusky’s abuse,” but doesn’t go into specifics.

The statement came after jurors began deliberating 48 charges against the ex-coach. Prosecutors say Sandusky met the 10 sex-abuse victims through his charity.

Lawyers for Matt and Jerry Sandusky and prosecutors did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Matt Sandusky’s lawyer says his client met with investigators very recently.

This is a breaking news story. Updates will be added.

    He is a bad person and has harmed many, he should be grateful that he well live in prison for the rest of his life.

    May I also ADD that the majority of pedophiles are homosexuals (only they like to be called bi-sexuals).

      Most male homosexuals seem to go from one person to the next. They have no loyalty or shame. They are incapable of it. That wife of Sandusky was an adoptive mother and I bet she was told of these offenses by her adoptive son(s) and never did anything about it. She should be questioned some more. She is a party to this someway. There is not a woman alive who could live with a man that long and not see what he does. It is likely near impossible. Women know these things and they seems to know everything in their household that is going on, especially with that many “sons” and it is not possible that some of them did not complain to her about this. I think she is a liar.

    This is why everyone needs to be educted on homosexuality and the media indoctrination that has been going on for over 40 years.

    It is impossible to hide the lies. See the liberal media expose the truth at http://www.libertyforchildren.com.

    Sad thing is this information didn’t come out before the jury left for deliberation. Now if he is found innocent, how will the son feel? Sandusky is a sick individual and his wife is no better, she had to know what was going on. Probably worried about loosing her status.

      They can bring another charge on him. If this boy’s name is not in with those complaining. Some more could come forward. That would be a new case.

    What’s the point of him bringing it up now. He’s an adult and has denied it before. He said nothing as an adult. That makes him an accessory to the attack of every young kid that came after he reached adulthood. He‘s a creep that didn’t care enough to speak out.

    Kind of odd that this guy came forward after the case was tried. You would have thought the DA would have questioned Sandusky’s kids in the process of investigating the case. Sounds like we’ll learn more soon.

    This is the danger of someone who stayed in the stage of “Me, Mine, My.“ ”Satisfy ME,“ ”I am just great,“ ”I want it, so I will take it,“ ”Other people exist to satisfy me,” or worse, “Other people are allowed to exist only to satisfy ME.”

      Not much difference there. Just that some of the truth is out on some. There are things that would make our hair curl if we knew the truth of what is going on. I am sure of that.

    Jerry Sandusky should be castrated, then strung up on the town square, to send a strong message to all child molesters.

    Jerry Sandusky‘s wife could not have been as clueless as she’s pretending. In cases like this, wives know what’s going on and just look the other way.

      No you just ran into the smoke and mirrors on this one. Defense lawyers kept implying Sandusky was going to testify (something no attorney should ever let a perp do). Adopted son victim’s could have been brought in after Sandusky testified to refute but not before because he was not on the pretrial witness list.

    One one hand, why the heck didn;t this come out in the trial?

    On the other, if Sandusky gets off, this allows for another trial.

    Isn;t it a little late to offer to testify for the prosecution after the jury begins deliberating?
