Sandusky, the son of convicted sex abuser and former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky, pleaded guilty Friday to all 14 counts of child sexual abuse against him.

The Centre Country district attorney's office said the younger Sandusky, 41, entered the guilty pleas a week before his trial was scheduled to begin

The 14 counts included soliciting sex from a child younger than 16 and soliciting child pornography.

According to the district attorney's office, Sandusky will become a Tier III sex offender, the highest level in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania."

The charges involve incidents with two girls, one in 2013 and one in 2016

Jeffrey was abused and according to many statistics, it was almost inevitable that he would become the abuser. This is a very sad world.

Many who were abused do not abuse. It is true that a lot of abusers were abused. It is like all squares are rectangle not all rectangles are squares.

I know people who were abused as children. While they are wounded none that I know have abused children. I do know that many abusers whether sexual, emotional or physical were abused likewise as children.

Just remember your rectangle example reminded me of the sociopath example when I was reading about the psychology of sociopaths. I'll self-delete due to confusion.

a fair bit more republicans than Democrats have been pedophiles. Also remember the most hi profile sex offender ever was Ted Bundy who was being groomed by the republicans to run for governor of the state of Washington

No one connected with football could fart in that town without Paterno's awareness.

Sad to see that the rotten apple didn't fall from the fucked up Sandusky tree.

It's time to end football's reign and choose a healthier sport to follow.

Jerry Sandusky's wife (Jeffrey's mother) was complicit in all of this, and she got off scott free.
She knew what he was doing, even to her own (adopted) children and didn't say a word.

I will NEVER understand that!

for different reasons. Similar behavior happens with members of the Catholic Church too.
