With regard to the comments by "Bristolian," I would like to point out that there were plenty of people in the company of Jerry Sandusky who were not his victims. But he sure had plenty who were. I'm glad you weren't a victim. I wonder if you grew up in a two-parent, stable home. I think it's nice of you to comment your feelings of the Perry family; however, I find it odd you do it anonymously. I can understand the victims, but anyone else, including myself, is voicing their concerns, feelings, and opinions on this story. I instructed my boys when they were in middle school that if they were to see that man, they were to go to the other way, and in no way should they be in a room with him, that they should run if they had to, to the principal's office, and that I would back them up. There was nothing the school system could do, just as there was nothing they could do with the teacher who had an alcoholism problem a year or two ago. I know people who have been his prey, and while no one likes to believe that anyone they know is capable of this, the fact is, it happens, and I thank God that he is hopefully now going to not only be held accountable for his actions, but also not be in a position to do it again. It doesn't matter how many other boys' lives were helped. There are many that were ruined...what about them? Yes, these are allegations, but those of us who have lived in this community all our lives know of boys (now men) who were victimized by this individual. That is reality; that is what they have had to live with. They all haven't sought help, maybe because of their own feelings of shame or embarrassment, which is what pedophiles count on, especially male on male, at least in my opinion. To any victims who read this, I hope that you can find the strength to go to the station and add your statement. It's nothing to be ashamed about. You were a child who was taken advantage of...and to Panther, I'm SO sorry that the BPD wasn't able to help you in your time of need. I know law enforcement does everything they can, and apparently now something is finally being done.
