Jerry Sandusky, a former protege of legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno who has become the face of child sex abuse in American sports, was convicted late Friday of 45 counts of sexually assaulting 10 boys he befriended through his charitable foundation for disadvantaged youths.
A jury of seven women and five men, most with ties to Penn State, reached the verdict at the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte, Pa., after an emotionally wrenching trial in which eight of the victims recounted their abuse.

Dottie Sandusky ought to be charged as an accomplice to her husband for the child rape that was happening in their house. Or she could be charged with perjury. It is beyond belief that she knew nothing. Surely, she knew or suspected something. Police ought to check to see if the basement room with the water bed was really sound proofed. How could Jerry Sandusky be so confident as to rape young boys in the basement of his home with his wife upstairs? What happened in that house could never have happened without Dottie Sandusky's knowledge. There is more to this story that needs investigation.
