One of the moms recorded a phone call with Sandusky, where Sandusky admitted that naked bearhugs in the shower were wrong. Sandusky said he wished he was dead.
The system did no favors to anybody by overlooking this. This man is literally sick, and he knows it. There’s a pathology for pedophilia. It came from somewhere.
The whole psychological profession is making a mistake when they try to say that homosexuality is “normal”. There is a really high correlation between traumatic events in a child’s life and their eventual self-identification as homosexual. Who knows whether Sandusky had the same thing happen to him when he was a kid. But normalizing the behavior only means that the vicious circle continues with nobody stepping in to try to break that circle.
The same thing happened with Clinton. People who have been treated for sexual addictions were wishing that he would just admit his dysfunction and bring the whole issue of sexual addictions and dysfunction into the national conversation, so people could learn that there is a way out. Instead the nation giggled about oral sex and middle-schoolers came to think of it is a game. And again - it was the political “machine” that “protected” Clinton (actually ensuring he remained ensnared; what they really protected was their own power - just as the “multi-million dollar football machine” that you referenced in the Penn State case.)
Rush Limbaugh said the other day that there was an angle on the Penn State situation that nobody would dare bring up - himself included. I think that was probably the homosexual angle. This whole thing could lead to an honest discussion that could actually help the casualties of pedophilia - both victims and perpetrators, who may well be both.
It seems many pedophiles were victims of the same as children. A "gift" that keeps on giving.
