I continue to hear from people in Central Pennsylvania who have something to tell me about the Sandusky case or, more particularly, about his accusers.
Six of the eight accusers who testified at trial either knew each other or knew someone who knew them. They all came from Central PA, not far from Penn State. There is plenty of evidence that the six collaborated and changed their stories to collect millions from Penn State.
A gentleman who knows one of the Sandusky accusers, Jason Simcisko, recently contacted me. He did not want his identity revealed, so I gave him a pen name and made some minor edits to what he told me for clarification. But I kept all the facts that he told me exactly as he explained them.

Many people in our community in Central Pennsylvania have been reading your stories about Jerry Sandusky. Your articles are starting to float around. I know one of the accusers, Jason Simcisko, who I personally don’t like.
People who know him have always felt Jason faked that Sandusky had abused him, faked the whole thing. After reading your stories, they seem to be sure of it.
I found out about your stories after some friends sent me the links. There are many people in this community who are interested. I sent the links to about 15 people and received several responses.
Recently, I was at a get-together with friends and talked to people who went to high school with Jason. I mentioned your article, and people had already read it.
“Yeah, it’s crazy,” one guy said, “I believe it 1000 percent because I have had other people telling me that this was all fake.”
Another person said almost the identical thing: “Yeah,” he said, “I believe it 100% that was made up.”
Suspicious
This dude’s family doesn’t have anything; they never had anything. He first told the police nothing had happened, and then the lawyer got in his ear and said he could make all this money. He lied and made millions.
Poker
I met Jason at a poker game. He played in small poker games throughout Central PA, and I often played with him. He had money when I met him in 2018. And people knew he had money. I’ve seen him lose thousands in poker games in these off-the-record, off-the-books places throughout Central PA.
When we played poker, there might be ten at a table. Usually, four or five of us were friends, and maybe three were friends of friends. He was the odd one. We would buy in at the Texas Hold-em table for $200. Jason would buy in for a thousand.
I’ve never seen him walk away a winner.
Found Out About Him
When I first played poker with him, I did not know he was one of the Sandusky accusers.
But one night when we played, the TV was on, but Jason did not hear it because he wore headphones.
Jason wore headphones because he thought he was a stud poker player. Sometimes, poker players wear headphones, because the game can get boring if you don’t get cards.
If you dive deep into the poker world, you will find a lot of people wearing headphones, sunglasses, and hooded sweatshirts. It’s a specific look.
The lady on TV said something about Sandusky and how he had molested little boys. A few of my friends started laughing, but avoided letting Jason know, as if he were the elephant in the room. I didn’t get it until Jason lost his money and left. Then they told me he was a Sandusky “victim.”
I said, Oh, okay.
Then, they gave me the impression that it didn’t happen and that everyone knew he was lying about it.
Loser
I played poker with him maybe 20 times and a few times with his friend Ryan Rittmeyer, another Sandusky accuser. Ryan looked the exact opposite of Jason. He seemed like one of those guys that came from the trailer park. Kind of obnoxious. Not cool to be around. I didn’t want to be around him much.
I know Jason better. A lot of people I know know him. I don’t know many people who consider him a friend. He doesn’t talk much. He’s strange. He gives off a vibe of not being quite “there.”
Vanished Money
I read in your article that he got a settlement from Penn State for $7.25 million in 2013. He wouldn’t have gotten all of it, because he had to pay the lawyers. But whatever he got – four million, five million dollars–whatever he got, it’s gone. He lost it all gambling.
I heard he lost $2 million in Vegas.
He’s a degenerate gambler. An impulse gambler. A guy who puts his money on anything just for the fact that he is gambling.
I understand he has to sell his house now because of his gambling debts. I don’t think he has two nickels to rub together.
Too Fast
I am also contacting you because I feel that if people do wrong, such as ripping off others, like he did to Penn State, they should be prosecuted. I don’t like it when people cheat the system. I believe Jason Simcisko lied to get money, just because he could. Nobody checked their stories out.
And let me tell you something else. That whole case happened way too fast. I would like to know the average time between an indictment and a trial for a sex abuse case. I knew someone who was a witness in a case. That took almost two years. The Sandusky case went from indictment to trial in seven months. So you know that all happened way, way, way too fast.
Cheater
I know people today will do anything to get ahead, even if they hurt others. I know nothing about Jerry Sandusky. I’ve never met him. But I believe one thousand percent that Jason Simcisko was lying and hin taking money from Penn State is the same as stealing.
The fact that he gambled it all away doesn’t make any difference. Jason Simcisko should be arrested.
Please leave a comment: Your opinion is important to us!
So, what is the evidence that all these accusers are liars, that the memories were false and that none of the abuse never happened?
Is there concrete evidence that was all a lie?
After years of research into the Sandusky case. Not only was it an injustice for Jerry but Joe PA as well. I fully convinced that JS is 100% innocent. I also believe thar his case, being hanious at the time in the msm. This was a coup vs Joe PA from the PSU Board of Trustees to get leverage over Joe to fire him. Anybody that was a real victim wouldn’t just go blow all there money away on gambling. Don’t you think if he was a true victim he would do something to prevent or help boys in the same so called situation as he was! I hope JS can get his fair and just day in an unbiased court! I can only pray to God that he does.
“An Injustice to any Man somewhere is an Injustice to All men everywhere!”
Jerry was an easy target, let’s be honest, he crossed some lines with kids, he had attraction to young male adults, never heard of Jerry hanging out with young women, it was alway’s young males,does anyone think Mike Mcqueary lied? If so, what would motivate mike to lie what he saw in the shower a naked jerry with a young male, Mike admired Jerry, I am not sure Jerry is guilty, but he definately did some stupid shit for a grown ass man.
The connection is obvious. He lost his self worth when Jerry anally raped him. He did not remember it at first but then he recalled it and it got stronger and he associated the money with the filth of being anally savaged and every time he lost money he felt the release of pent up anal abusive practices.
When are you going to leave these kids alone? Haven’t these boys suffered enough abuse ?
Have any of you stopped to think that maybe he became a gambler because he was anally raped ?
I’m going to assume you are serious in that assessment. How would you make the leap from being anally raped to needing to gamble. Seriously? What’s the connection? To the folks who still want to defend these liars/alleged victims, you have to admit it sounds stupid to propose something like, well, he was raped and therefore turned to gambling to feel better. That’s nuts!
I’m not sure if the idiot was raped, but your response is so oblivious it’s painful. That’s as dumb as the bad gambler. Let me spell it out: The temporary dopamine hit of gambling offsets the feelings of past trauma. Any addiction will do: drugs—including alcohol—sex, gambling. It’s childhood abuse common enough in compulsive gamblers they screen for it in trying to treat them. Now you know.

Not by Jerry Sandusky so sucks for him. He deserves it for what he did to Jerry Sandusky. Jerry dedicated his life trying to forge a new path for scum like your relation. And his thanks was to be accused of being a molester.
Let’s be honest here! 2024 is the Year of exposure. Look at what’s going on about all this SA in Hollywood and in DC. If your cousin was truly anally raped, why didn’t he dedicate himself to SA prevention or helping others like himself. He didn’t because it never happened. I bet a medical exam would say the same thing. Did your cousin go get a State mandatory HIV or Hep test thats required for all rape victims??? Maybe you should try and talk to him. Get the truth and help him save his Soul. Im sure the MSM would love to know thar they were wring about Jerry Sandusky!
The Cesspool six need to be incarcerated, but this would not have happened without corrupt attorneys and quack psychologists.
Petitions to remove the licenses of these psychologists should be pursued. However it’s unlikely anything would happen because Penn state and the governor are protecting them.
There have been charges filed against Gillum but as you said the higher ups refused to do anything about it. They just warned him.
Disappointing. Psychologists have zero accountability. Courts don’t demand medical professionals who we could hold accountable for their medical license Psychologists, like judges evade responsibility with “discretion”
Frank, the more information you give about the case, the worse I feel. What Sandusky was accused of was so heinous that I, and I believe many others, automatically convicted him without trial.
This is truly heartbreaking. He did so much for so many and now he will probably die in prison, that’s a tough pill to swallow. Not to mention what it must have done to his wife. Even Joe Paterno was ruined by these lies. He lived and breathed Penn State. I have every confidence this was huge contributor to his death.
My biggest wish now is to get home, back with his wife for whatever life he may have left. That and have everyone that pushed this false narrative have their life destroyed, the same way they destroyed Sandusky
It seems the attorneys collected “victims” with known weaknesses. If Jason was an addicted gambler he’d be the perfect target.
True gamblers will do snd say anything to get their next fix. Holding a potential for millions in front of Jason would make for a very willing and dedicated fictional victim.
So much criminality to be exposed.
“ The lady on TV said something about Sandusky and how he had molested little boys. A few of my friends started laughing, but avoided letting Jason know, as if he were the elephant in the room”
Were your friends laughing because they knew it wasn’t true? Why the laughter?
If they knew it wasn’t true, why do you think no one questioned Jason but avoided him?
Wait stop condemning this man. He saw an opportunity and merely took advantage. Everyone else was doing it. What should he be dunce of the year.
You know you’d do it too. Seven million for a day of lying. I’d do it in a heartbeat.
So sorry to hear you feel this way. What has happened to the truth and honesty.
Thank you to the author for sharing this story. Yes, we would agree that they all stole money from the university but the larger crime is that an innocent man is in prison for crimes he did not commit. It’s one thing to know about it and another to do something about it.
Hopefully everything will catch up with him.
The person who wrote this piece on Simcisco is correct….the so-called ‘victims’ DID steal from Penn State and committed insurance fraud as well. This is a crime, and they should be held accountable for theft, fraud, as well as defamation. Let’s see what the ‘esteemed’ judicial system of PA as well as the ‘esteemed’ judge, DA, governor (past and present,) asst DA, among others will do about it…… but we all know they will hide under a rock like the snakes they are.
