There was no guaranty she would do well if she did try.
Did he push her or tell her what was at stake and let her decide?

The Sandusky Rape Verdict
Published: October 9, 2012

The case of Jerry Sandusky over the serial raping of young boys
while a coach in Penn State’s football program ended Tuesday as it began: in denial and delusion.

“In my heart, I know I did not do these alleged disgusting acts,” Mr. Sandusky said
in a call from the jailhouse to the Pennsylvania State radio station Monday night.
“My wife has been my only sex partner, and that was after marriage.”

Mr. Sandusky repeated the gist of that bloodcurdling statement on Tuesday before
Judge John Cleland of the Centre County Court in Pennsylvania, who sentenced him
to 30 to 60 years in prison on 45 convictions of raping, abusing
and assaulting 10 boys over many years.<snip>

“I’m not going to sentence you to centuries,” Judge Cleland said to Sandusky.
“It makes no sense for a 68-year-old man.
This sentence will put you in prison for the rest of your life.”

Judge Cleland added that the case, which shook Penn State and called into question
the role of major college sports on campus, was, in the end, “a story of betrayal.”

“You abused the trust of those who trusted you,” he said.

Ex-Penn State coach Sandusky appeals child sex convictions

(Reuters) - Former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky appealed
his child sex abuse convictions on Thursday, with his lawyers arguing
they lacked time to prepare for the high-profile case.

Sandusky's attorneys also asked that the convictions be tossed out or
a new trial be held because prosecutors lacked evidence to convict him
and statutes of limitations had run out.

Statues of limitations have a place, but not in sex abuse cases against kids.

Kind of makes me wonder if he's so fucked up he really thinks he's innocent.
