Sandusky horror story continues to get more disturbing

**SNIP**
Sandusky got out of jail for free.
An unsecured bond is merely a promise -- that's all Sandusky had to give, a promise -- that the defendant will show up in court. If he doesn't show up, he'd be on the hook for $100,000. By then, the defendant could be in Costa Rica.
The judge who set Sandusky free for free? Her name is Leslie Dutchcot. She has volunteered with Sandusky's charity, The Second Mile, the one that allegedly provided him a hunting ground for victims.
Sandusky capitalized on that, too. While he was out of jail -- not wearing the monitoring device prosecutors wanted him to wear, a request former Second Mile volunteer Leslie Dutchcot declined -- Sandusky helped his defense team find one of the alleged victims.
Can you believe that?
Sandusky's attorney, Joe Amendola, told Costas on Monday night that someone from the defense team -- Amendola didn't specify who; it could have been Sandusky himself -- has been in contact with the child known as alleged Victim Two.
"So you found him, the Commonwealth has not?" Costas asked.
"Yeah. Interesting, isn't it?" Amendola replied.
No. Not interesting -- it's horrifying. Presumption of innocence is one thing, but contacting an alleged victim before the trial? Horrifying. The idea that Sandusky or his people were able to talk to the alleged victim, influence the child's testimony, even persuade him not to cooperate at all ... it's beyond comprehension that such a thing could happen.

Excellent observation. My thoughts too. I guess he remembers which boy he was anally raping when McQueary caught him.
My darkest vision is the potential for missing children from the Pennsylvania area during the 34 years that Second Mile has been in operation.
The devious excuse for such a missing child would be; ‘he was at risk or he was troubled and just ran away’.
I hope the AG is looking into cold case murdered and missing children.
Yep. I bet Happy Valley is eat up with pederast, on a very high level.
I hope somebody at Websleuths gets that idea too!
Don’t dismiss gop connections. Joe pa big gop man. Second Mile was George H w bush “Thousand Points of Light” charity...How high does this go???????
Like all the other "big GOP men" that donated to Obama in '08 and Sestak in '10?
“eat up”?
Amendola represented a 16-year-old girl then known as Mary Iavasile when she filed an emancipation petition in September 1996. The emancipation petition said the girl had graduated from high school in two years with a 3.69 GPA and held a fulltime job at Amendola’s law office.
The girl gave birth to Amendola’s child when she was 17 years old, her mother, Janet Iavasile, said. Amendola would have been about 49 years old at the time. The age of consent in Pennsylvania is 16.
Amendola married the girl in February 2003 and the couple had a second child before they separated. Amendola’s estranged wife, now a 32, has retained his last name.
In Pennsylvania? It’s not hard to believe at all.
NBC/Bob Costas gave Sandusky and his degenerate attorney a forum from which to issue the threat of public exposuire of the victims. And not one thing will be done about that ‘extortion’ because the court system in Pennsylvania is a part of the criminal enterprise the democrat party always arranges where they rule elections and pack the courts.
Actually, that was his son Jay (whose given name is also Joseph).
Not that it matters in terms of what Paterno did (or did not) do.
“Indeed, but the rope in reusable. One at a time, you know, make a day out of it.”
On the 50 yard line of that revered stadium in Happy Valley.
There is nothing at your link.
I raised that alarm the day this story broke in national news. I was told then that in Pennsylvania the possibility of making a connection to very powerful ‘national’ political figures would prevent any AG from looking into the murdered and missing children possibilities and that Ray Gricar was likely shut down because he wanted to do just that.
Thanks Libloather.
