Sandusky Article Reaction

When I hear a story like this I usually go in favor of the victim. In this case I am also choosing that direction because how could 20 or more boys make false accusations that were all pretty similar. They wouldn't make that up because they are probably embarrassed that it happened in the first place. I think they didn't do it for the money because its not worth their pride and manhood to claim that something like this happened to them, just for some extra cash. Being sexually abused is a very life changing ordeal. It isn't something that people could get over easily. I feel horrible that someone with such importance in sports could do such a thing to those poor kids. I don't think athletes and coaches are necessarily above the law because it all depends on the crime they commit. Sexually abusing young kids is a major crime that even somebody like Jerry Sandusky couldn't have gotten away with. I feel as though in time they all get cause for example, Aaron Hernandez. Yeah, they may have tons of money that can bail them out but if the acts they commit are very bad then the judge or jury is going to feel for the victims and make sure the person doesn't get out of prison.  I think his wife isn't truthfully stating how she feels about the subject. She just wants to believe in her husband and his innocence. I think deep down she knows just as well as we do that those boys aren't going to make up something like that. Even when she said something about how she went up to the stand and wouldn't lie, I think she was telling the truth because she wants to believe that what she told the courts is true...even though she is unsure. She is trying to be on her husbands side because nobody really is.
