(14,982 posts)I think Sandusky himself was a molested child...The behavior is passed on....the victim becomes the offender...passing, dumping their shame. (Pia Mellody lectures/books on shame with sexual addiction).
His father was beloved in their community and was well respected for community services for children. See here on Wikipedia...

His father Arthur served in the field of youth service programs for over 30 years, mostly as director of the Brownson House in Washington, Pennsylvania, a community recreation center for children.[9][9] There, he founded the Pennsylvania Junior Wrestling program and created junior basketball, volleyball, boxing and football programs for the Brownson House. He improved the facilities there by adding a new playground, gym, outdoor basketball court, and a renovated football field. He managed the 1955 Washington baseball team that won the Pony League World Series championship, the only team from Washington to win that championship. Arthur was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame in 1989.[9]
Jerry Sandusky attended Washington High School, where he was a good student and standout athlete, playing baseball, basketball, and football.[10] He was a leader on his junior high basketball team that went undefeated through the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League.[10] Personally, his classmates have described him as a studious "loner" who "never dated in high school" but was a popular and handsome athlete.[10]
