Article:
BELLEFONTE, Pa. -- A young man has told a grand jury that he screamed for help from the basement of Jerry Sandusky's home as Mr. Sandusky tried to force him into a sex act.

He said he did so because he knew Mr. Sandusky's wife was upstairs.

No one came to help.

The allegation was contained in a new grand jury presentment made public Wednesday as Mr. Sandusky, 67, a former Penn State University assistant football coach, was charged with 12 additional counts of sexually abusing children who participated in a youth program he founded.

Read this article for the offensive specifics of Sandusky's behavior. At least the newly assigned judge is treating him as the dangerous man which he is.

1. In Centre county jail until he posts it. If he posts it, then house arrest w/electric monitoring.

Mr. Sandusky now faces 52 criminal counts of abuse. Dressed in a Penn State sweat suit and looking haggard, he was arraigned Wednesday on the new charges by Senior District Judge Robert E. Scott, who ordered him held on $250,000 straight cash bond. He was being held in the Centre County Correctional Facility, said Nils Frederiksen, spokesman for Ms. Kelly. Judge Scott of Westmoreland County has been assigned to preside over the preliminary hearing.

If Mr. Sandusky is able to post bond and get out of jail, he will be subject to house arrest with electronic monitoring. Judge Scott also ordered him to have no contact with victims or witnesses and no unsupervised contact with minors.

Mr. Sandusky did not speak during the arraignment, but after being charged, he leaned over to his attorney, Joseph Amendola, and said, "Are we going to talk about this?"

Prosecutors had sought to have Mr. Sandusky's bond set at $1 million, but Mr. Amendola argued for a lower amount. He said Mr. Sandusky was not a flight risk and said he was subjected to heavy media coverage and confined to his home.

He's pictured wearing a Penn State track suit!

2. It will be interesting to see if there is anyone who is willing to post Sandusky's bail.

IMHO, he needs to be in jail.

The pictures of his house in close proximity to a school and a playground are chilling...

3. Yes. Enough's enough. He needs to be held without bail.

And I'd be very curious to see who posts it.

4. Well, the wife (in denial or in coverup) shows up to get his sorry ass out of jail.

Amazing.

5. She's complicit & could face criminal charges as well.

Then you factor in all the civil suits which will, if there is any justice, leave the couple penniless except for their social security checks. If she has an ounce of intelligence, she will find a different attorney to represent her than the pedophile quack her husband has retained. There is such a blatant conflict of interest there, that it's legal malpractice for that attorney to represent both of them.

Interesting to see a photo of her with the latest report. She is the physical opposite of her husband's sexual targets.

It's just a damn shame that the PA Attorney General's office, which is being revealed to have covered up this whole mess along with other high profile pedophiles' activities for years, is in charge of ongoing investigation and prosecution.

6. Yes, one really has to wonder how she couldn't have known what was going on.

Children are screaming in the basement, but she doesn't hear it?

Yes, I believe she was complicit, also.

It is a horror story.
