I fear that this is just the tip of the iceberg.

I had the misfortune of reading it when we first started talking about this situation. It reads like what I could imagine child porn stories might sound like. It's so surreal, it's like reading a movie script, because it's hard for my brain to accept that it happened to real people.

It's one of the worst things I've ever read.

From a personal level, the horrificness is compounded by the fact that I have a nephew who's right in Sandusky's alleged target demographic. My sister, who's been really good about having these kinds of talks with her kids, reminded my nephew again that he could tell her anything. He was like, "you mean the Penn State thing? Mommy, let's not mince words. I'm not letting anyone touch me."

Amen. I weep for the innocent children this monster hurt. I pray there is a special place in Hell for people such as Sandusky.

In a taped interview that will air tonight on Rock Center with Brian Williams (on NBC at 10pm) Sandusky says:

"I say that I am innocent of those charges...I could say that I have done some of those things." I have horsed around with kids I have showered after workouts. I have hugged them and I have touched their legs without intent of sexual contact." When pressed by Costas about what Sandusky was willing to concede that he'd done was wrong, Sandusky said, "I shouldn't have showered with those kids."

Just awful. How he can maintain that he is innocent with so many witnesses and victims that have come forward is beyond me.
