Through the window in the newspaper vending machine today I saw a headline in the Harrisburg Sunday Patriot News: VICTIM #6 WAS KEY TO SANDUSKY INVESTIGATION, to paraphrase. Thought I’d read about it later in my paper at home, but there was nothing about the case in the York Sunday News, online or anywhere else that I could find. Wondering if anything new has been discovered in the case?
As far as I’ve been able to determine from news reports, this Victim #6 is the one who helped the authorities determine the names of several other young boys. As his mom says, they all thought that they were the “only one” that Sandusky abused. It was so shameful that, although the boys knew each other, none of them spoke about it, at the time that it happened. It was only when the AG’s office started investigating the 2008 claim that the rest of these were unearthed. They had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the AG’s office, that’s how ashamed they were. They needed subpoenas to get several of these now young men to open up about their experiences. That’s one thing I wondered about it, and now it has been answered.
