Jerry Sandusky's adopted son, Matt Sandusky, said that his father had abused him. Matt Sandusky released a statement through his lawyers, Andrew Shubin and Justine Andronici. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Mr. Shubin also represents two other alleged victims of Jerry Sandusky.
The statement reads: "During the trial, Matt Sandusky contacted us and requested our advice and assistance in arranging a meeting with prosecutors to disclose for the first time in this case that he is a victim of Jerry Sandusky's abuse. At Matt's request, we immediately arranged a meeting between him and the prosecutors and investigators."
The statement continued: "This has been an extremely painful experience for Matt and he has asked us to convey his request that the media respect his privacy."
The AP reports that following Jerry Sandusky's arrest in November, 2011, Jill Jones, the ex-wife of Matt Sandusky, went to the police to obtain a restraining order to keep her former father-in-law from hosting sleepovers with Jill and Matt's three young children.

(1,326 posts)Yesterday she was smiling and winking at her husband, calling his accusers "clingy" and "demanding". Something really tells me that she's suffering from extreme self-denial, the type of wife who would turn the food mixer on its highest setting to drown out the sounds of what she was hearing.
