Matt Sandusky, one of Jerry Sandusky's adopted children, has said that he was molested by the former Penn State defensive coordinator, according to a statement from his lawyers.
The allegation comes as Sandusky is awaiting the verdict in his child rape trial. Matt Sandusky, who has defended his father as he faced child rape charges, said through his attorneys Andrew Shubin and Justine Andronici that he met with prosecutors this week to tell them he was a victim for the first time.
"During the trial, Matt Sandusky contacted us and requested our advice and assistance in arranging a meeting with prosecutors to disclose for the first time in this case that he is a victim of Jerry Sanduskys abuse," Matt Sandusky's lawyers said in a statement obtained by InSession. "At Matts request, we immediately arranged a meeting between him and the prosecutors and investigators."

Hanging’s too good for this POS.
I take a bit of offence at that statement. Just because a man or a woman has perhaps a medical infertility problem doesnt mean that the man is any less of a man or some sort of pervert or gay or that the woman is any less of a woman or a cold fish in the sack as Ive sadly heard some (not here per se, but in general and sadly in my own experience) presume.
My uncle and his wife were unable to have children after many years of trying. I dont know the cause of their inability to conceive, I never asked them, but my uncle was not, is not any less of a man. He and his wife are devout Christians and live as they believe. They adopted two beautiful kids who were loved and raised right and now as adults with kids of their own, are grateful to have had such great parents. One of my cousins and her husband ironically had their own infertility problems and she and her husband adopted two bi-racial children, then she got pregnant and then they decided that they were so blessed and in a financial and emotional position to do so, they adopted another child, a special needs child and they are a beautiful and loving family.
My husband and I were unable to have children as well and believe me it wasnt due to a lack of trying or my husbands or my lack of interest in bed or a lack of his manliness, bravery or machismo. Our diagnosis was tricky he had a slightly reduced sperm count but not enough to definitely rule him as the cause of our inability to conceive. I passed all my infertility tests with flying colors until a rather vague diagnosis of a hormonal imbalance from a blood test performed by an infertility specialist that my regular GYN thought was rather questionable. In the end, our inability to conceive was considered idiopathic, i.e. unknown cause. Im well past the age now for having children, we didnt adopt but I have 10 great nieces and nephews who are the joy of my life.
I get what you are perhaps trying to say with respect to a man, a pedophile, a homosexual pedophile marrying a woman as a cover and adopting children as a means to molest them. But please dont assume or make the broad generalization that a man who cannot get a woman pregnant is automatically some sort of Jerry Sandusky or that a couple who cant have children are somehow morally or sexually defective or perverse.
Unfortunately this sort of attitude and the Jerry Sanduskys of the world plays right into the hands of the anti-male radical feminists. Not all men who adopt children are child molesters. Not all men who dont have children of their own are child molesters. Not all men walking their dogs in the park who smiles and says hello to a cute kid is a child molester. Not all older men who are alone in the childrens section of Barnes and Nobles is a child molester. Not all men who are not athletic and macho are child molesters. Not all men who are athletic and macho are rapists.
/End of rant.
With 9 outta 12 having CLOSE ties to the University, Im afraid the fix is in already. Hopefully the jurors know that letting JS get away with this would be another MAJOR black eye to the University. The outcome would be the exact opposite, if their desire is to protect the University.
however, now that one son has come out, Dusky will be able to be charged with that..
and the men will be able to sue him in court for any and all of his money....
Don’t be surprised boys don’t report the sexual assaults. Boy are ashamed and manipulated. They are made to feel guilty - like it is their fault.
Males are not supposed to be victims and our society - especially men - think boys should be able to take care of themselves in situations like this - especially young teens who are just entering into their own sexual experience of themselves.
Many abused boys grow into young adults and men who abuse drugs and commit suicide.

Your analysis may very well be correct, but last week I heard an ex-DA say that defense attorneys often say that the accused will take the stand, but never mean it. I don’t think the POS would ever have been put up on the stand even w/o the son coming forth since the DAs would have ripped him apart.
sorry about that....didn't mean it to offend anybody...
JS is still going to get his, but I think this is the start of the post-trial civil suit gravy train.
Flame away.
I may have overstated with the word "prisoner", when what I should have said more precisely is that, as a battered woman herself, she was a prisoner to her mortal fear at the point when her partner's adopted daughter was beaten for what then turned out to be the final time. Her case did spark a necessary discussion about the role of the non-abusing parent who acquiesces to abuse even if they are not committing it themselves.
It's well to remember that services for battered women may not have been as well developed or available at that time; what she did was leave the apartment after an egregious beating of the child and did not call for help (ostensibly fearing another beating for herself), but the child then died the next morning.

Here's an insightful article about the case, particularly the last paragraph:
The Culpability of Passive Abuse
Yet the mother still did not see a thing.
Why is this just being reported now?
This whole thing is sick and getting sicker. Sandusky should fry, slowly.
Why Woody Allen walks free is beyond me.
Sorry, I don’t let her off the hook.
