7. Mom Dottie Sandusky had to know what was happening

This is a sickening story, and we in Pennsylvania had to go through the trial and sentencing of Jerry S. a few years ago.

But it's never been revealed how much Jerry's wife knew, in fact I don't believe she even took the witness stand at the trial. If she did testify, it was only to say that she didn't know what was going on with those boys. Yeah right. Not only did Jerry abuse some of the boys in their own house, apparently it was happening with some of their adopted children as well.

Dottie knew - those were her children too. She looked the other way and pretended it wasn't happening. Criminal negligence, she belongs in jail with her husband.

Sadly their children who were abused (at least 2 of the adopted boys) will need many years of counselling, but Jeffrey should never be allowed near children again. I don't believe in blaming the victims, but this cannot continue.
