This is not a trend anybody wants to see continue, although if it means heightened awareness for sexual abuse and more creeps get thrown in jail because abused kids start to come forward, maybe some good can come out it....

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
The strange thing to me is that somehow the assault continued to go on until the guy was 27 years old? How does that happen?
Working in a Jail I see these people every day, they are not all "Weird" looking creeps they are alot of times completely normal looking and acting people that you would never ever guess were monsters.
As I get older my faith in mankind grows weaker and weaker
<< <i>Just watched the ESPN interviews with the alleged victims. They are stepbrothers, and so far it is only thier word. Jim Boeheim says they are lying. I will wait until more info comes out before hanging the guy. >>
This. If these guys are guilty of what is alleged, then hang 'em high or whatever else the system decides is appropriate -- AFTER due process.
Knee-jerk firings before all the fact finding is in and before due process has taken place is, IMO, a witch hunt mentality fueled by fears of a "mob" demanding "justice" without a fair hearing, a fair trial, a full review of the evidence and so on. And yes. I realize that a firing isn't a criminal justice matter but a civil one with different standards -- but I think morally, a civil proceeding also needs due process for the accused.
Now I know someone will say "you'd feel differently if it was YOUR kid" -- and maybe I would, but it's also why justice is best administered without emotion. These incidents also remind me why I refuse to be alone with children without other adult witnesses present -- one false accusation from a kid who is angry with you for whatever reason can ruin lives and livelihoods.
So in terms of the people coming forward, both here and against Sandusky -- trust, but verify. Have we learned nothing from Duke lacrosse or the McMartin fiasco?
Fire em all...Fine is guilty NOW in my mind. Arrest his wife too.
Fire Boheim now because it was on his watch - sucks to be him, but he must go if the University wants to be taken seriously. Start to remove the stain.

That tape with his wife and Davis on the phone is wild. I know the police said the Statute of Limitations had run out on charging Fine, but I wonder if his wife is in hot water for lying to the police since she apparently told them she knew nothing.
