I am an octogenarian who is the same age as Jerry Sandusky. Having grown up in Washington, Pennsylvania, I knew Jerry, and his father Art, largely through athletics as young boys growing into adulthood.
Jerry and I were both teammates and competitors against the other.
Especially during these formidable years, coupled with the close bonding inherent to athletics, my sense of Jerry was that he was literally the best person I knew.
This was a kid and young adult who did not curse, lie, or embellish himself in any manner. His parents raised him well.
Jerry’s dad, Art Sandusky, was an iconic man of virtue through his life-long support of boys, many having troubled lives, through his Brownson House.
It’s where I learned to play basketball that led me to a college scholarship and a successful life.
The Sandusky family are good people an American story family.
Which leads me to the here and now. America has become a sick nation. Our population is afflicted with a disease that I hope has not become incurable. Few people believe the Ten Commandments of God, much less even know what they are.
“Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor.”
That’s #9.
Simply stated, don’t tell lies about your neighbor, even for a few million dollars.
I shall guarantee that each of you liar “victims” (pictured at the bottom of this article) are in for a very difficult future.
The uttermost worst problem right now in America, and yes, Pennsylvania, is our corrupt justice system.
And certainly, the Pennsylvania legal cabal and jury that convicted an innocent Jerry Sandusky will pay the price for their misdeeds.
God knows what each of you have done.
Soon, the American people will also know. Truth is the power.
Jerry Sandusky is an innocent man.
You believe you are an innocent person. How would you like to spend your next 11 years? Confined to solitary imprisonment?
Read and understand what Frank Parlato is revealing to you.
Jerry Sandusky IS AN INNOCENT MAN.
I only ask that you read Frank Parlato and other prominent people who believe this enormous miscarriage of justice must be addressed.
If you agree with my thinking, I urge you to spread the word.

Back in the late 1990s/ very early ’00s sometime PSU FB game coverage would lovingly show Joe, then similarly pan to loyal Jerry and the announcer would sweetly talk about the ascension of Jerry when Joe retired as HC. Then suddenly that story-line stopped. Well before the very public accusations wrong doing. IOW Joe knew and was backing away from Jerry as a public face of PSU greatness.
Pedophiles do not act like ogres. They are commonly charming and friendly, they “love kids” and commonly look for ways to help and be around troubled kids. The fact that Jerry did not look or act like the monster he actually is around his peers is nothing unusual.
Jerry’s biggest problem was the sense of entitlement and invincibility his association with Penn State gave him. Only such an entitled narcissist would continue to shower naked, travel and spend hours and hours alone with young boys after having been accused of being inappropriate in a shower with one, questioned by police and explicitly told never to shower with them again. And only an administration and head coach like those at Penn State would have the audacity to think that accusations of child sexual abuse were something they could simply deal with in-house. And simply tell the suspected molester “Please take your molesting elsewhere”. Not since Catholic popes and bishops have we seen such arrogance and disregard for the safety and wellbeing of children.
He was just a little too much friendly with the kids, did he not have a jury trial? and did the jury not find him guilty? Your point of view he is innocent, but the child who showered with a naked Jerry might have a different opinion,
An incredible family history and legacy tarnished by thieves – greedy therapists, attorneys, J Cleland, and the derelicts that betrayed the man who was most generous to them.
A fantastic article stating the truth of this family. Praying that this man gets a new and FAIR trial.
Readers who enjoyed this post will probably like John Ziegler’s interview with Jerry’s college roommate Tom Frederick:

I know the family and know the family history. Jerry is innocent and the liars need to switch places with him. He should be living his best life with his family now instead of crying for justice. His family has suffered, especially his one son that was unjustly accused and imprisoned for nothing but being associated with his dad.
Terrible things need to happen to the liars, their lawyers and the individuals who rammed this case through on a rail – especially that crooked judge!
No one can escape the light of truth!
People who know the Sanduskys know what Mr. Baer wrote is the truth. They are a family of integrity and compassion. They have helped many boys in The Second Mile. And then we have 8 lying, opportunistic, unethical, money-grabbing, derelicts who would do anything for money – even lie about a man who truly cared for them and their wellbeing. Like I told Allan lying Myers (shower ‘victim’) in a letter, his child/children will grow up to find out what a conniving, lying, bastard their father actually is.
Holy moly! So you’re an octogenarian? I had to laugh because we typically don’t see big words in the Frank report unless perhaps they are written by Dr. Fred Crews who by the way is a nonagenarian and a good friend of those in Sandusky’s corner. He probably read what you wrote and called you “kid”. Hopefully, we’ll all stay in good health and see a day soon where Jerry gets to go home. Thank you for writing about him and for him to have the good sense to marry Dottie. You don’t stand by someone who would have done all those despicable acts. Frank just needs one of those fraud accusers to step up and do the right thing.
Octogenarians are the people that taught you to read and write when you were in elementary school and they were in their 20’s! No wonder you actually have a vocabulary and the sense to use both! Thank God for the prior generations-(60 & 80 year olds) they will save the country from the hippies (now in their 70’s) that have been trying to destroy it since the 1970’s when they were 20!
That judge is in his 70’s!
Amen, John. I simply cannot grasp how Jerry Sandusky could be guilty of ANY crime. I had almost lost any inspirational belief for Jerry’s freedom and clearing of all charges. That was until Frank Parlato got his claws into this injustice. And one law that can never be disputed states that only an absolute fool would piss-off an octogenarian.
Richard, you descriptively captured accurately the essence of Jerry Sandusky and his family in the limited space available. Kudos, my friend. Jerry, you, and I go all the way back to our childhood together and there is not one misrepresentation or untruth in your words. I hope the readers go forth and share this truth with friends and others.
What a great story. Thanks so much.
Good Evening my sweet Pistachio nutters! I hope that you all have a blessed Sunday! If I can pray for you please let me know. May God bless you and keep you safe always.
