Alleged abuse victims of Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky continued to testify Thursday, as the prosecution winds down its case.

During emotional testimony Wednesday, two victims described alleged encounters with Sandusky — one of them said that Sandusky told him that if he told anyone about the incidents, he’d never see his family again. Sandusky, 68, is charged with sexually abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period.

Pennsylvania prosecutors are also considering criminal charges against former Penn State officials, after decade-old emails emerged showing that they decided not to report allegations of abuse by Sandusky to authorities, because they thought it would be “more humane” to Sandusky.

Put him in jail for the rest of his life and add the others to that pile of manure. They will get what they deserve in prison.

Once the Sandusky trial is over, maybe the media can focus on the pedophiles of the Catholic Church. You know, those supposedly good old boys cloaked in robes that prey on the young boys. Those so called “Men of God”.
I’m glad that my grandparents left the Catholic Church. It was a few years after they arrived in America and married in 1927 when they realized one Sunday as the collection plate came around that the church was a scam. Thank you my dear grandparents for setting me on the rode to being an atheist.

For more on the Catholic Church, do a search for Joseph McCabe.

Joseph Martin McCabe (12 November 1867 – 10 January 1955) was a well-known atheist and author of numerous books. He had been a Catholic priest.
