This time, keep him in jail.
Former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky has been arrested at his home in State College, Pa. on new sexual abuse charges. Read the charges here (PDF).
Authorities showed up in four unmarked cars to detain Sandusky, an NBC staffer said. He was out on bail from his initial arrest on almost a month ago on charges of sexual abuse of young boys.
Pennsylvania authorities filed new criminal charges against Sandusky, 67, according to a release from the Attorney General’s criminal investigation bureau.
“Today’s criminal charges were recommended by a statewide investigating grand jury, based on evidence and testimony that was received following the initial arrest of Sandusky on November 5th,” Kelly said.
According to the Washington Post:
Sandusky, 67, was removed from his State College, Pa., home in handcuffs and taken for arraignment to a Centre County courthouse. This arrest stems from allegations from two new victims who stepped forward after his Nov. 5 arrest and these new charges will be included in a preliminary hearing on the original charges that was set for Dec. 13….
The new charges include involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, unlawful contact with a minor, indecent assault, endangering the welfare of children, and corruption of minors.
Let’s hope the authorities keep Sandusky locked up this time. He’s obviously a danger to children. Just check this story out from USA Today.
The victims met Sandusky through his charity The Second Mile.
A year and a half after an investigation began into Jerry Sandusky’s contact with young boys, the former Penn State assistant football coach applied for a volunteer coaching job at a central Pennsylvania college but was denied the job after a background check. Last year, Sandusky tried to get a volunteer coaching position at a small Pennsylvania college!
Officials at Juniata College said Wednesday that Sandusky applied for the volunteer football coaching job in May 2010 and rejected the following month after a background check showed a high school where Sandusky previously volunteered was investigating him.
Juniata spokesman John Wall said the college was not informed of the details of the investigation or the existence of a grand jury, but based on the report informed its coaches Sandusky was not to have contact with the program.
This man has been out of control for decades. Many people knew about it, and yet didn’t stop him. Even since he was forced out at Penn State, he apparently continued to try to gain access to children. Fortunately, at least one college did their due diligence are refused to let him work there.
This country needs to get serious about protecting children, and I’m not just talking about more law enforcement. I’m currently working on a post about this important issue, and hope to finish it today or tomorrow.

Prosecutor drops charges against coach in Syracuse abuse case.
These crimes are so very despicable. I thought the laws had been changed in terms of reporting time, based both on the time when the crime was committed and the age of the victim [because so many victims are unable to deal with what happened until they’re considerably older]. Is it based on the state in which you reside?
Whatever! The laws should ensure that the perpetrators are put out of action and have no access to children or young adults. Otherwise, we just produce more victims.
Sickening!
I’m right there with you on this Peggy, disgusting. I hope they keep Sandusky in jail this time!
Sickening. What’s next – he has his marriage annulled and becomes a Catholic priest? At least the 2 colleges rejected his offer to “volunteer.”
Looking forward to your next post about this, BB.
His wife should have left him by now if she hasn’t. I hope she won’t post bail for him.
I just saw on twitter that Sandusky was unable to post 250,000 bail, so he’s still locked up for now.
good news — that.
That is where he belongs. Unfortunately, they will have to pay a lot of money to protect him from the rest of the prison population. This means, however, he will be a very lonely man which is karma personified.
I hope he stays a long, long time.
