New lawsuit against Second Mile claims Sandusky abuse started in 1970s

The first civil lawsuit since Jerry Sandusky's guilty verdict has been filed. The suit includes three of the victims included in the child sex scandal, as well as a new alleged victim who claims Sandusky was abusing children as far back as the 1970s.

Making this suit more notable is the fact that it is not aimed at Sandusky or Penn State. Instead, the target is the organization founded by Sandusky, the Second Mile Foundation.

The Second Mile wants to distribute its assets to a group called Arrow Ministries, but this new court filing is hoping to block that move. The suit is filed on behalf of Victims 3, 5, and 7 as identified in the Sandusky grand jury indictment.

Last month, Penn State Trustees were briefed on another suit that person has filed against the university. In that suit, John Doe A. claims Sandusky had been molesting children for decades and that Penn State and the Second Mile knew its facilities were not safe.

The plaintiffs want to block the transfer of the Second Mile assets so the organization cannot say it does not have the money to pay a civil suit.

"Hey, I think I'll start molesting kids".

If Sandusky has younger siblings, he probably started with them, and has done it to HUNDREDS of kids.

they deliberately get jobs that put them close to kids
they choose needy, quiet women for wives
they set out to become trusted pillars of society

Jerry Sandusky is sick, but what is even sicker is that all of the people in the know who let him get away with it.

Sandusky was an only child, but he certainly learned a long time ago how to get his victims.

IMHO, there are a lot of other guilty parties, some of them quite prominent. Will we ever know?

Sandusky was not acting alone, there is talk that he had a 'farm' of kids that he could call up.

This is the most sickening thing that could ever possibly happen anywhere - where kids are treated like meat and adults in charge let that happen. Lots of people must have known what was going on and they turned away. Fyuck you all to hell and back and then back, you scum sucking bags of shit.
