Ten more victims have come forward since former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was charged with 40 counts of sexually abusing young boys through his Second Mile foundation. I haven’t really wanted to talk about this, because it makes me fucking sick to my stomach, but Sardusky spoke out for the first time via a phone interview with Bob Costas last night, and I thought you’d be interested in what he had to say. Particularly the part about “horsing around” with boys in the shower, which he now admits in retrospect “may have been a mistake.” The NY Times says:

Sandusky said he was innocent of the charges against him and declared that he was not a pedophile. He did acknowledge, “I shouldn’t have showered with those kids.”

“I could say that I have done some of those things,” he said of the accusations against him. “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.”

He added: “I enjoy being around children. I enjoy their enthusiasm. I just have a good time with them.”

My only consolation in all this is imagining him being the receiving end of that same kind of “enthusiasm” and “horsing around” in a prison shower. I hope his asshole reaps everything he sowed.
