I think Stewart was actually right in his comment regarding Sandusky's answer to the "Are you sexually attracted to young boys" question--he almost seemed to be fighting the urge to come clean.

Jerry Sandusky: 'I didn't go around seeking out every young person for sexual needs that I've helped' - NY Daily News

This guy has a idiot for a lawyer which if fitting I suppose. A part of the interview that was cut out, but can be found in the transcript.

But while Costas's interview was forceful and compelling, the full transcript of what Sandusky said wasn't aired until it appeared Tuesday morning on "Today."

At one point, about seven minutes into the interview and after Costas asked Sandusky about the 40-count indictment he faces for sexually abusing boys over a 15-year period, and Sandusky replies that he is innocent of those charges, Costas asks Sandusky if he fits the classic MO of a pedophile.

Sandusky's reply at the 19:01:01:00 mark of the interview is perhaps the most damning of the entire session:

"Well -- you might think that," Sandusky said. "I don't know. (LAUGHS) In terms of -- my relationship with so many, many young people. I would -- I would guess that there are many young people who would come forward. Many more young people who would come forward and say that my methods and -- and what I had done for them made a very positive impact on their life. And I didn't go around seeking out every young person for sexual needs that I've helped. There are many that I didn't have -- I hardly had any contact with who I have helped in many, many ways."

I thought it was weird enough that his lawyer allowed Costas to interview Sandusky. Even more odd that his laywer was the one who suggested the interview

Bizarre to say the least.

Kudos to Costas, I thought he did a great job with the interview.

Another unrelated Penn State child rape claim:

Abuse victim claims Penn State pedophilia predates Sandusky, current scandal by decades - NY Daily News

Who knows if this was covered up by anyone at Penn State, it says there were also 2 other men involved. Also perhaps Gary Schultz was involved in dismissing the claim back in 2001?

And i know im speculating but its hard not to on this type of stuff. Espicially when there has been such a large coverup in a small college town and tons of rumors. It also seems like child preditors often are part of larger groups or networks.

Wow. If this guy has actual tapes, then some of those admins need to be serving jail time and lots of it. The sad part of this story is (besides the rape itself)

The professor is a well-known expert of child development, and has received acclaim for his work with autistic children.

That doesn't help McQueary's case that he tried to stop the rape and that he did contact law enforcement unless he's counting contacting law enforcement as 7 years later.

McQueary’s Revelations

When McQueary met with investigators last year, he immediately told them that he had witnessed Sandusky raping the boy in the showers on a Friday night in 2002 and then had gone home and talked to his father about what he should do. Together, they decided he needed to tell Paterno. Before becoming a graduate assistant, McQueary had played for Paterno. The coach was a mentor, and a friend.

According to court records, McQueary was never questioned by the police after reporting the alleged assault. But in an email obtained by the Associated Press, McQueary says he stopped the assault and then discussed it with the police.

So which version is true? The one where he runs home to Dad or the one where he stops the rape and then talked about it with law enforcement?

McQueary emails he stopped rape and told police but grand jury report doesn't mention it | The Republic

On Wednesday, both university police and State College police said they never received a report of sexual assault from McQueary. And the Patriot-News newspaper of Harrisburg reported that a handwritten statement McQueary gave to police during the grand jury investigation did not mention taking action to stop the alleged rape or contacting police.

Hoping this isn't true. I don't want to start having multiple molestation threads.

On one hand, I hope it's not true either, but on the other hand I hope that the stories about Sandusky give these kids/adults the strength to speak up now. The more people that were molested as kids that come forward, the better. It's time to speak up and see that those that have done damage are punished.

yes, the more of this that comes to light the better. Horrible that in cases like these, it's the victims that feel the shame.

You know whats the trend outside of molesting itself, is the institution decision to cover up in both cases or not to pursue the truth to protect the program.

This is what is sicking to me, eff the victims Syracuse basketball and Penn State football is more important.

We have a serious problem within our society when this is true.

I hope Boeheim didn't call this alleged victim a liar in the press. This is exactly why child molestation victims are scared to open up. They should suspend Boeheim just for that statement alone. He needs to refer the media to the police and legal entities and talk about basketball.

Fine is in his 35th season as an assistant to Boeheim, who came to his defense.

"I know this kid, but I never saw him in any rooms or anything," Boeheim told ESPN. "It is a bunch of a thousand lies that he has told. You don't think it is a little funny that his cousin (relative) is coming forward?

"He supplied four names to the university that would corroborate his story. None of them did ... there is only one side to this story. He is lying."

Boeheim probably shouldn't have said that. But he's defending a guy who he's worked with for 30+ years. Just a gut reaction, I'm sure.

Anyway, I certainly hope these allegations aren't true. If they are, Fine will be dealt with.
