Parents routinely trusted their children into the care of untrustworthy priests, Scout masters, coaches and doctors. We will never know how many children were abused over these past decades and how many adults still bear the scars.
A bankruptcy judge Thursday, Aug. Their vile is often masked by white lab coats, football jerseys, Eagle pins and holy white collars.
And the noble institutions that should have protected children, first tried to protect themselves. We now are aware of just how widespread child abuse is. The Vatican told bishops around the world on Thursday, July 16, they should report case of clergy sex crimes to police even when not legally bound to do so, in its latest effort to compel church leaders to protect minors from predator priests. The Vatican issued a long-awaited manual for bishops and religious superiors on conducting in-house investigations into allegations of priests who rape and molest minors and vulnerable adults.
Despite these new safeguards, child abuse remains a serious problem in Pennsylvania and throughout the nation. And they have a list of warning signs about child sexual abuse anyone working with children should know. As much as we recoil from thinking the unthinkable, ignoring signs of child abuse is the worst thing anyone can do. A son of Jerry Sandusky — the former Penn State assistant football coach convicted of molesting a string of boys — was charged Monday with asking minors to send him nude photos and perform a sex act, prosecutors said.
His attorney did not immediately return a call for comment. An attorney for Jerry Sandusky — who was convicted of 45 sex abuse counts in and is serving up to 60 years in prison — said he had only just learned of the charges against the son.
The two victims, according to court documents, were minors with whom Sandusky had daily contact. In March, he allegedly asked one of them in a text message to send him nude photos. After he was rebuffed, he asked the victim to erase all of the text messages and said they needed to talk, court documents show. You know who does that? Sandusky also solicited the second victim, a year-old girl, for oral sex in , prosecutors said. He was charged with 12 felonies and two misdemeanors, including solicitation of sex acts and child pornography, unlawful contact with a minor and corruption of a minor.
There is no accusation he physically molested either victim. Jeff Sandusky is one of six children adopted by Jerry and Dottie Sandusky. Another son, Matt, has said that he was sexually molested by his father for years. If there was one shred of hope that could be taken from that time, it was that Sandusky would never again see freedom, and in theory be powerless to cause any more damage. And, just like that, the scars were once again picked open. According to court records, Jeffrey Sandusky is charged with 14 counts, including criminal solicitation and corruption of minors.
The records stated that the two victims were minors with whom Sandusky had daily contact and that he is accused of asking one to send him nude photos via text message. Once turned down, Sandusky asked the victim to erase the messages, records show. You literally tried to guilt me into doing it and you even told me specifically what I 'needed' to do.
You know who does that? Rapists and abusers… I don't know how many times I need to tell you no and to stop before you get it. It is also claimed Jeffrey Sandusky attempted to persuade a year-old girl to give him oral sex in Child abuse is the most uncomfortable and paralyzing of topics, everything from the acts themselves to the chilling process of predators "grooming" their potential victims. To even think about it tortures the mind and distresses the soul.
Jeffrey Sandusky is 41 and therefore bound to legal behavior and responsibility for his own actions.
