I am somewhat surprised at the defense's first witness. If a former coach was going to testify, I would expect to see Tom Bradley explaining these shower practices since Bradley was specifically named by one of the victims as a coach who acted suspicious toward the victim's presence in locker room shower.

Jerry Sandusky trial: Mom of alleged victim says son's underwear was often missing

Alleged Victim 9?s mom took the stand this morning as the final prosecution witness in the child sex abuse case against Jerry Sandusky, sobbing as she said she felt responsible for pushing her son to hang out with him even after he started resisting.
She thought her son, who testified Thursday that he was raped by Sandusky during weekend sleepovers in Sandusky?s basement, could benefit from visits with Sandusky since she worked two jobs.
?He gave him clothes, he gave him gifts,? she said. ?I wish he would have gave him underwear to replace the underwear that I could never find in my laundry.?
The mother called a school assistant principal in November, asking for advice, when Sandusky was charged with molesting eight other boys.The school official called police, who then approached her son.
Her testimony might clear up a discrepancy in timelines that Amendola brought up on cross-examination of Victim 9. The timeline of abuse he alleges overlaps with the timeline of abuse alleged by Victim 1, and both said they spent weekend at the Sandusky home alone.
The mom said the visits were two or three weekends a month, and stopped after football season ended in the fall.
She said one night her son called her late to pick him up at Sandusky?s home. She arrived and he was waiting outside without shoes, she said.
She never asked -- even to this day -- what exactly happened to the now-18-year-old.
?I just can?t imagine,? she said. ?It?s not that I didn?t want to hear; it?s just that I thought that it would be tough for him to tell me.?
She had noticed a change in her son?s behavior, she testified. ?He had a lot of stomach problems. He was sick a lot. He had behavior issues. Sleep patterns were very different. His school work was very difficult.?
She took him to the doctor and he was diagnosed with acid reflux, but never had a physical exam, she said, when Amendola pressed her about any physical evidence that might back up her son?s claims of abuse.
?I always wondered why he never had any underwear in the laundry,? she said. ?Or socks. He?d tell me he had an accident and would throw them out. That was odd to me.
His stomach always hurt him, and he always told me he couldn?t use the bathroom right.?
On cross-examination, she said she became suspicious of Sandusky?s relationship with her son when he continued calling late at night after it was published in news reports that he was under investigation.
Her son told her Sandusky wanted him to be a character witness for him, she said.
Sandusky has been charged with 51 counts -- one was dropped by prosecutors this morning -- of sex abuse of boys. He maintains his innocence.

It seems to me there's a rather big difference between being in a community shower at the same time as a minor at the YMCA and "showering with a boy". I don't know if this guy is just trying to blur lines or what, but just being there physically present at the same time on the other side of the room in a group setting has nothing to do with what Sandusky was doing...it's hard to say which this coach is saying he did.

So basically, it was "it's not that bad if you only molest a small portion of the kids you come into contact with, right?.......Right???"

Makes sense, theres literally billions of young boy in the world he didn't molest. Him limiting himself to just the dozen or so thats been reported shows great restraint.


Burn in hell sandusky you piece of shit.

More of Anderson's testimony.

Jerry Sandusky trial: Coaching colleagues describe Sandusky as busy, involved with children


The first witness called to testify on behalf of Jerry Sandusky in his child sex abuse case is his former colleague on the Penn State football team and self-described ?close friend,? Richard Anderson, who testified about the grueling schedule with long hours and little free time that college football coaches endure year-round.But on cross-examination, Anderson said Sandusky spent a good deal of time at The Second Mile and working with young boys. It was common for him to include boys in football activities, and he saw them on occasion showering together, Anderson said.
It?s something Anderson himself admits to, he said. ?At the YMCA, at Penn State, at other places. The first time I took a shower in high school was with coaches, it was part of my life,? Anderson testified.

?You showered with young boys?? asked prosecutor Joe McGettigan.?Yes, I do.? Anderson answered.
?Eleven year olds??
?Yes.?
?Who you didn?t know??
?Yes. There are regularly young boys at the YMCA showering at the same time there are older people showering.?
?Do you hug them in the shower??
Anderson smiled. ?No.?
If necessary -- if there was a need for emotional support -- Anderson said he would have done things that Sandusky did, too, like sharing hotel rooms with a boy, he testified.
Anderson said coaches were often in-and-out of showers while Sandusky was there with kids, and Anderson said he never saw anything inappropriate.
Later, when former coach Booker T. Brooks took the stand, he too said showering with children was a common and accepted practice.
?Even before I became a coach. As a youngster in Akron, Ohio, I went to summer camps sponsored by the YMCA and showered with adult men who were not relatives of mine all the time,? Brooks said. ?Since I?m a grandfather, I take my grandchild to the local YMCA and since she?s not old enough to go into a room by herself, we shower together. I put dry clothes on her. That?s common.?
On cross-examination, McGettigan gave Brooks a hypothetical: If a man took his 9-year-old grandson to a shower and hugged him, would he find that strange.
McGettigan then asked if a shower hug would ?further bad behavior??
Judge John Cleland interrupted that it was an ?entirely improper question.?
Brooks ended his testimony by saying he would reserve judgement on Sandusky until after a verdict. He still thinks of him as the great guy he got to know during long scouting trips, he said.
During Anderson?s testimony, he acknowledged to McGettigan that Sandusky is intelligent, well-educated, organized and focused.
?Capable of understanding complex issues?? he asked.
?Yes.?
?Capable of knowing what?s appropriate or inappropriate??
?Yes.?
?If someone told him something was really inappropriate in 1998, do you think he would forget that the next day??
?No.?
?The next year??
?No.?
Before being questioned by McGettigan, Sandusky?s attorney Joe Amendola had Anderson go through a typical schedule of a Penn State football coach.
He talked about 15- to 17-hour days during pre-season, in season and during the spring, followed by recruiting trips, speaking engagements and camps.
?It sounds like you weren?t home a lot,? attorney Joe Amendola said to Anderson.
?That?s the nature of the business,? he said.
Anderson testified that Sandusky had a particularly demanding schedule because of his position as defensive coordinator and his famous name. ?Jerry I know because of his involvement in things outside of recruiting, which involved a lot of banquets and clinics, would do (traveling) certainly more than I would do it.?
Amendola questioned him specifically about allegations made by several of the eight accusers, who have said Sandusky would take them out to ?work out? in the afternoons.
?Did any of the coaches have time to play racquetball, basketball in the late afternoon?? Amendola asked.
?Not late afternoon. A lot of us would take a break to work out between noon and 1,? Anderson said.
There were often meetings and practices at those times, he said.
?If you weren?t there that was pretty noticeable. You had to be there,? Anderson said.

I'll post it again its just a blatant admission of guilt imo.

Sandusky replied: "Well -- you might think that. I don't know. In terms of -- my relationship with so many, many young people. I would -- I would guess that there are many young people who would come forward. Many more young people who would come forward and say that my methods and -- and what I had done for them made a very positive impact on their life. And I didn't go around seeking out every young person for sexual needs that I've helped. There are many that I didn't have -- I hardly had any contact with who I have helped in many, many ways."
