I'm really sick of this story and can't understand the media's obsession with it except to smear old white guys.Obviously the guy deserves the prison term but what about the countless number of teachers who have underage affairs with students every day.They simply get sent to rubber rooms while collecting full pay and benefits.

If you're outraged by underage assaults,then why shouldn't it apply across the board? Micheal Jackson was a serial child molestor and not one person on the left cared.

Has anybody heard anything on the Cal. teacher who did lewd conduct on kids for 10 years? Teachers in the other room knew all about it and did nothing.

I guarantee you that if sandusky was a well known gay this story would have quietly went away.

I agree, #1. It seems like Sandusky is the one and only child molester in the USA, by the media coverage. The way I see it, the molesting teachers get a pass from the press because of the sacredness of teacher unions in the leftist pantheon and because public schools are virtually lawsuit proof. Trial lawyers, knowing that the bigger the media scandal, the bigger the payout, know how to drive a story.

I personally know of a teacher in the Cincinnati area that has been caught four separate times having sexual contact with underage female students, and rather than getting the police involved, he is moved to a different school.

If it was my daughter, he would be explaining his actions to Saint Peter!

This is all about the family's breakdown and how a predator found his "zone" for hunting. Those kids with a troubled reality sought out his safety zone where some really got crippled by his sexual needs which were really all about power.

They paid and are paying too dear a price. Liberal thoughts don't even go to correct this, note the recent convention where "abortion" got such a standing ovation along with other "platform" issues that underscore the family's destruction, one way or the other.

Evil is at our door and goes way beyond b. hussein obama (lower case on purpose for obvious and not so obvious reasons)!

The media love a dog-pile. I don't understand, though, why they have to smear S's wife. She's simply standing by her marriage vows, "for better or for worse".

Hey posters don't excuse what this creep did by bringing up other abuse stories.Creep should have received 400 yrs! Shame on you all!
Ted in Mich.

Our posters are still apologizing for this disgusting piece of debris. I guess if your a jock lets give you a pass if you orally and anally rape little boys. Lets repeat he orally and anally raped little boys, and your defending him. #6 our posters here worship the jockstrap

I don't think anybody is apologizing or even excusing this man's actions. They are pointing to the media obsession over him, which just gives the man more face time in front of the camera--something he seems to enjoy.

I get the general sense that people are thinking: "So put him away already and quit yapping about him."

That's not exactly letting him off the hook.

#6 Amen this man deserves a cellmate named
Leroy or Bubba. You cannot defend this and what he did. Predator becomes the Prey..

I agree with #6 and #7. Some here simply cannot let Sandusky go. Sickening.

This serial pedophile used his position to damage young boys over a long period of time. And still feels no remorse. He'd go out and do it again.

Did you read this article about his performance in court? What on earth are you thinking?

The notion that this creep should have been let go because others have not been prosecuted is the worst kind of relativism. Those who practice it are right in there with the predators, in my opinion.

It should be no surprise the way this Sandusky acted in court, as anyone who did what he did to those young boys lives in this own world and for all intents and purposes has to be nuts. There has to be a lot of other people like him out there in the area where he operated, or he would not have got away with what he was doing for so long.
