The ma...I followed this enough to be very confused. The man who reported the horrific incident to JoePa was a 28 year old who had the guts to jump in and break up a knife fight...but when he sees an old man molesting a little boy, he does not move forward...he leaves the boy alone with the molester and goes to call his Dad? <br />How many lives have been ruined because of this accusation? And that's what it is. An accusation. Imagine though if Jerry Sandusky is innocent--remember that concept? Proven guilty in a court of law i/o in the newspaper and by word of mouth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-40513651902543059522011-11-26T04:00:35.326-05:002011-11-26T04:00:35.326-05:00I don't know all the details to this case, eit...I don't know all the details to this case, either, but is IS a shame that a life time of good work will be tarnished due to the actions of another. I think years from now, when many people will have forgotten the particulars of the case, the two names will be forever connected to child molestation, and before long it won't even matter who did what - there will just be a shame attached to both names.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446770591516588794noreply@blogger.com
