gulity...justice has been served?...he will spend the rest of his life in prison where he belongs but...what about his wife? isn't she just as gulity as he is? what about the victims?...it takes a long time to heal...to forgive...but they will never forget.

Makeitwork- yes, I believe the wife is just as guilty, even though she claimed innocence and 'never heard,' even though some happened at their house when she was home. About the victims- yes, it may take a long time and something they carry, but I hope that they find healing somewhat in his incarceration. I'm so glad that the media kept their identities secret. The judge wanted to release all their names, and possibly traumitize the victims again, but the media kept them anonymous. I pray that they all draw near to God in all of this.. though it may be a long journey (as with all of us with abuse in our pasts/present have.)

One victim said that he never told his girlfriend/wife, and denied it when she asked. It was only when he saw Sandusky in person that she realized the creepy attraction Sandusky had for him and she was convinced. Some never told anyone. My heart just absolutely breaks for them.

the victims will always remember what this monster did to them. there is no money in the world that can "fix" this...my question is why?

This is a good question!!

the bible says..."He who justifes the wicked, and he who condemns the just, both of them a like are an abonination to the LORD." proverbs 17:15

isn't that what the coach joe paterno did? the wife? or what about priest william lynn? the pope?...my very own mother...in my opinion keeping silence is a sin because there wouldn't have been others molested.

Yes. Paterno admitted that he should have done more, and should have gone further with prosecution than what he did. But, yes, you're right. (I'm sooo sorry that you have personal experience with this.)

justice was served...but the healing, shame, and betrayal still remains.

You're absolutely right.

I'm so glad that they convicted him... a lot of people were trying to paint the pictures of the victims as liars. One more victim came forward at the end. 45 out of 48 convictions is great. More than I expected.

Did my comments help?
