Jerry Sandusky 1987 NBC Interview About Working With Children
Jerry Sandusky’s NBC phone interview about the Penn State scandal will air Monday night. Just before moving onto that, let’s recap his equally-creepy and delusion interview with NBC from 1987…
“I enjoy being around children. I enjoy their enthusiasm I just have a good time with them. Everybody needs people to care for them. Sometimes they don’t want it. Sometimes they don’t understand what you’re trying to do, but they want to be disciplined. Kids are growing up awfully fast today.”
He also talked about The Second Mile, the charity he founded in 1977 and through which he met all his alleged victims: “One of the biggest things would be the trust that would be developed. What we’re trying to be is a true friend.”
Sandusky went on to, allegedly, be caught raping a 10-year-old in the shower and one of his adopted children reportedly committed suicide. Sandusky has been accused of molesting boys in his ward. Specifically, notes RadarOnline.com: “ eight boys over 15 years, from 1994 to 2009. [Sandusky] was arraigned on 40 criminal counts, 21 of them felonies, including multiple counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, corruption of minors, endangering the welfare of a child, indecent assault and unlawful contact with a minor, along with single counts of aggravated indecent assault and attempted indecent assault.” That’s a whole lot of charges for which Sandusky claims to be innocent.
Starcasm.net notes that Sandusky has a 2001 autobiography called Touched.
