I believe it. I’ve seen comments on other sites in the
past week or so discussing the exact same behavior as
regards testifying victims. These were not such high
profile abuse cases. Can’t recall the sites offhand. Seems
to be a common proclivity to attack the victim.
It’s like they think the boy had the hots for being brute-handled by the coach and then twisted Sandusky! When almost always in such matters, they had little choice. It would have been beautiful, I confess, had the lad turned around and given Sandusky a left and then a right foot straight in the balls, and instead of a “rhythmic slapping sound” (ugh, retch) McQueary had heard a “YOWWWW! OWWWWWW! WHY YOU LITTLE @#$%^&*!!” But even this thought experiment clearly shows who we normally expect to bear the vast brunt of the guilt in such situations, and it ain’t the boy.
