It isn't surprising, it possible that his father or another male relative abused me.  It's possible that he observed such behavior at young age.  Maybe there's a genetic component to it.  Whatever...it's just sad.

The son, Jeffrey, was adopted.

Makes me want to go and take a million showers. What a sad story indeed. I feel especially sad for the victims. I was once a victim myself of this type of crime, but unlike the Sandusky son, I am no pedophile nor have I ever had such heinous thoughts of being one.

Jerry and his "wife" adopted 6 kids. Their son Matt said he was molested by his dad. The whole thing makes me sick. And the wife who covered up for him and pretended she didn't see it happening makes me sick.

The study quoted said repetition was not true for females.

I am disheartened to hear this.  How sad.

Those poor children who were in their ugly orbit.

His father is still claiming his innocence.  Perhaps this urge is in the "gene pool."   I attended Penn State and it is still an embarrassment in our community.

JoePa passed away prematurely (I believe) from the stress that Jerry, the father, caused.  Another one on the Megan's Law list for our town~~how sick!

Wow.  I wonder if he was a victim of his father, too.

One of Jerry's sons reported he had been molested, I think it was Jeffrey.  I wonder if he ever got counseling?

Yes, I believe this son was adopted and also a victim.
