Fabricated Fables: Sandusky Scapegoated by Greedy Gang

First… a question. What do you get when you combine:

• false accusers,
• unethical prosecutors,
• shyster lawyers,
• quack therapists,
• lying cops,
• reckless reporters,
• biased judges,
• vengeful politicians,
• cowardly trustees
• gullible jury

The answer: The conviction of Jerry Sandusky.

A Case Built on Falsehood

For two years, Pennsylvania State Police had only the wily Aaron Fisher, whose testimony was more than shaky. Sometimes Fisher, known as the town liar, did what his mother wanted and said he was abused. Other times, he told the truth and said he wasn’t.

Conspiracy Cash

To save their case, police had interviewed hundreds of Second Mile men and teens. The police routinely began their interviews by telling these young men that Sandusky was guilty, and used tactics like lying about the number of victims, using leading questions, never recording the interviews, suggesting memory therapy would help them remember abuse they forgot, and hinting or outright telling the hundreds of young men that there would be a pot of gold at the end of the Penn State rainbow, because civil lawyers would take their case after they testified against Sandusky.

That, and surprise early morning visits like they were there to make an arrest, had a chilling effect in the small-town community where Penn State and its community exist.

Still, none of the hundreds they interviewed said Sandusky had abused them. Even after the prosecutors illegally leaked grand jury minutes, which mischaracterized what witness Mike McQueary said, alleging Sandusky raped a 10-year-old boy in a shower at Penn State (which McQueary did not say). The (fictitious) story became both local and then national news, but police still could not dredge up victims except from the dregs of the earth.

One and Two Degrees of Separation

The state police found a group of men who were at most two degrees of separation from each other: Zach Konstas, Michal Kajak, Jason Simcisko, Brett Swisher-Houtz, Dustin Struble (and later Ryan Rittmeyer) to claim abuse that never happened (as I am proving in this series in Frank Report).

These men all changed their stories from no abuse to horrific abuse – often pretending to use memory therapy with psychologists as the excuse for why they first said Sandusky did not abuse them.

Later, they dropped the memory therapy as an excuse to change their stories further. Ira Lubert, the Penn State trustee responsible for handing millions to unvetted accusers, told his attorney friends what the stories of abuse should look like.

As we shall see, the accusers changed their stories from the trial testimony to the settlement documents they filed with Penn State to say they had never forgotten being abused after all.

Thanks for the Memories

At trial, accusers testified that the reason they initially told police (and sometimes the grand jury) that Sandusky did not abuse them was because they had repressed memories they only recently remembered, with the help of therapy.

But in the confidential filings with Penn State, which I suppose they never expected the public to see, these same men claimed they never forgot the abuse. In fact, the abuse was why their childhoods were ruined, why they did not go to college, and why they could not get good jobs – and even why they turned to crime.

Well, you can’t have it both ways. You can’t tell a jury that you forgot the oppression of your teenage/childhood sexual abuse until you became an adult to explain the preposterous changes in your stories. Then tell Penn State that the haunting memory of the abuse was with you every moment of your life, stealing your childhood, preventing you from doing anything worthwhile in life, to justify bigger financial damages.

Not So Many Accusers Really

It is important to note that there were not ten separate accusers of Sandusky at trial.

Pennsylvania convicted Sandusky on the cumulative, similar sounding and frankly collaborative testimonies of eight men.

They could not all be lying, right?

Wrong, they were all lying.

That’s the hard part to understand: out of hundreds of Second Mile young men and the scores of young men Sandusky mentored, they could get eight to lie under oath. All eight knew they would get, and all of them received, paydays from Penn State from $1.5 million to $20 million.

Eight financially challenged men, rascals to the core, who lied for millions. But they are not just thieves. They sacrificed the freedom of an innocent man, a man who in most instances helped them in life.

Sandusky Scapegoated by Greedy Gang

Once you break it down, it is not so hard to understand.

First, there was the sniveling Aaron Fisher, who claimed he only learned about his abuse from memory therapy – though it allegedly occurred just months before when he was in his mid-teens. He was 18 when he testified at trial. By the way, teenagers who are active sexually and watch as much porn as Fisher did do not forget being forced to give and receive blow jobs every weekend for three years, as he testified. He lied.

A Cozy Group

Then there was an interconnected group of six men, all in their twenties when they testified, who all spoke to each other and were well aware of the financial opportunities.

I shall prove the times and places when they met in subsequent postings.

Paden the Perjurer

And there was the liar-come lately. Sabastian Paden, who learned from the combined stories of the other liars, told the biggest lies of them all, the easiest to disprove – got the biggest payday from Penn State.

Ironically, both Fisher and Paden claimed their abuse occurred simultaneously in the same bedroom for three years (2005-2008), which the prosecution knew and suborned their perjury. Lamentably, Sandusky’s defense attorney was unprepared to challenge. And that old reprobate of a disgrace of a judge, John Cleland, would not provide the defense time to prepare.

Everything Was Backward

A tissue of lies and a good man fallen—that is the true story of the Penn State Scandal and Jerry Sandusky’s conviction.

Dr. Frederick Crews has said everything in the Sandusky case is exactly the opposite of what the public believes.

Truth became lies, and lies became truth in the manmade justice system. But the truth will never swap places with lies forever.
It always comes to the surface, as it is doing now.

Soon, history will record this case, which will go down in history as a mammoth injustice, that the so-called victims became millionaires because they were perjurers.

Soon, there will be a lot of jockeying among the villains to blame each other. I do not just mean the liars who testified, but the others who cheated, the dishonest cops, the sinful old judge, the cheating prosecutors, and many others.

Stay tuned.

You will be watching a reversal from lies to truth, and the Penn State (bogus) Sex Scandal will be known in times to come as the Penn State Perjury Scandal.

Here is the hall of shame.
