How sad. Maybe---well, hopefully---with this charge being only a misdemeanor, he may have a shot at getting some help and turning himself around.

Makes you wonder if the elder Sandusky abused the younger Sandusky when he was younger.

I'm pretty sure that was one of the allegations against him.

I stand corrected, somewhat. This may be another adopted son. Sandusky had several (scary thought there). And, this allegation involves two young girls, ages 15 and 16.

Jerry Sandusky's son Jeffrey charged with child sexual abuse

Jeffrey Sandusky has not made any public allegations of abuse by Jerry Sandusky, but one of his siblings, Matt Sandusky, alleged during their father's 2012 criminal trial that he had been abused by him. Matt Sandusky was not called as a witness, and Jerry Sandusky has never been charged with those allegations.

The fact that this is an adopted son makes sense to me.

As a strong possibility, not a guarantee.

I'd say the odds are really high. Jerry molested pretty much every young boy he could get his hands on. So, it would make sense that he molested his adopted children. And, by becoming an abuser himself, this Jeffrey dude is following the pattern of an abused person that has grown up.

The only upside here is he was caught before he could actually molest these girls. Hopefully there are no others who were less fortunate. But, who knows?

Maybe we can hope that since he was kind of inept at this, there are none.
