BELLEFONTE, Pa. ? Joyce Porter sits in a booth at the old downtown Diamond Deli, across the street from the Centre County Courthouse where her friend Jerry Sandusky is being tried on 52 counts of sexually molesting children.
She nibbles chicken salad on a croissant and uses a somewhat shocking analogy for why she maintains undying support for the most hated man in Pennsylvania, if not beyond.
"When everyone was persecuting Jesus, someone had to stand with him," Porter said.
It's worth noting that Porter didn't say Jerry Sandusky was Jesus, just that in her view the situation has similarities. Although she does hold the former Penn State defensive coordinator in the highest esteem.
"A saint," she said. "A wonderful guy."
Porter is part of a select group ? the few, the proud, the ultra loyal. Each day of the Sandusky trial, a small cadre of family and friends huddle on the benches in the courtroom's right side, not far from Sandusky's defense table. It's usually just 6-10 people.

What about laying in bed with the kids?
"It's a sign of him being fatherly," she said. "Did your dad lay down with you when it was time to go to bed? I know my dad did with me.
"At nursery schools, if they are staying through the day, they rub their backs so they take a little nap. I mean we're turning into a bunch of no-touchers. But counselors will take your knee and rub your knee when they talk to you. It's supposed to make you more attentive."

"[Child sex offenders] are at risk of being murdered, having their food taken, having their cells defecated and urinated in," said Leslie Walker, a prisoner's rights activist with the Massachusetts Correctional Legal Society. "Their life is truly a living hell."

But how does anyone reconcile showering alone with children?
"Do you do sports?" Porter argued. "Guys always go in the shower."
Not with little boys.
NEVER FORGET
"You ever go to the YMCA to go swimming?," she said. "The locker rooms are filled with all ages. Men and women, all walking around naked. It's no different."
No different than showering alone in an empty locker room late at night, playing "soap battles"?
"However long as the YMCA swimming pool is open there are all aged nude people in the locker room," she said. "And I think when you are a mother you realize boys are nudists. And I think football coaches, they're always hanging out."
