Touched: The Jerry Sandusky Story

October 12, 2013

As Ceridwen notes, (https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...) this book gets the award for the most ironic title of the decade. I haven't read this book nor will I since supporting Sandusky would be the furthest thing from my mind. I followed the trial and resulting mess at Penn State quite closely.

Sandusky's behavior throughout the charges and counter-charges remained baffling. It seemed clear from the beginning that his world was about to explode around him and why he didn't settle immediately is strange. One can only surmise that he believed what he was doing was right. Even more horrible was the failure of his charity, The Second Mile, which he proceeded to bring down with him. Just how culpable they were in providing providing Sandusky with a stable of potential victims may never be known.

I realize this has nothing to do with this book but everything to do with the author's behavior, I urge you to read the trial transcripts, available at http://centrecountypa.gov/index.aspx?.... You'll also find there the Paterno v the

How Jerry Sandusky's Book, Touched, Led Investigators To Other Possible Victims

Excerpted from Game Over: Jerry Sandusky, Penn State, and the Culture of Silence, which is out today.

Corporal Joe Leiter of the Pennsylvania State Police had a gut feeling that Jerry Sandusky might be a serial sexual predator. In the spring of 2008 he had just finished his first round of interviews with the fifteen-year-old boy from Central Mountain High who claimed that Sandusky had sexually abused him for almost four years. What struck Leiter about the child's story was the way he had been lured into trusting the former football coach. Sandusky showered him with attention, then gifts, then special trips; then the abuse began. The pattern was typical of pedophiles, right down to the part where the abuser kept the boy quiet by convincing him nobody would believe him if he told. The officer suspected that this boy was not Sandusky's only victim.

Leiter, a Centre County native, had been a state trooper for twenty-four years and was the supervisor of the crime unit in his jurisdiction

(CBS) - Years before Jerry Sandusky was indicted on charges of sexually abusing boys, the former Penn State football coach wrote a book about his life. Over a period of ten years, beginning in 1991, Sandusky worked with former equipment manager and Penn State journalism student Kip Richeal to record what Sandusky called a "unique" life. What they eventually produced, in 2000, was the book "Touched: The Jerry Sandusky Story."

In the introduction of the book, Richeal, who was born with hip dysplasia and is disabled, describes an "odd" question posed by Sandusky when they first met:

My first real contact with Jerry Sandusky came from a rather odd question he posed to me: "How much do you weigh, young man?" I was puzzled, because I knew he wasn't interested in me as a linebacker, but I told him I weighed about 95 pounds. "Get up on that scale," he ordered. I did and the locker room scale topped out at 96. "Not bad," Jerry said, trying to sound as mean as possible, "but you still have some work to do." Sensing my confusion, Jerry stared at me and continued. "We gotta get you up to
