Before you read this, please note that I am not saying Jerry Sandusky was innocent. I'm asserting nothing about his guilt or innocence at all. I'm merely posting this for informational purposes. There are a lot of people out there in internet land who doubt the official narrative. If nothing else, this makes for an interesting read:

The Unheard Side of the Sandusky Story: Did Aaron Fisher Lie?

The Frank Report

On June 22, 2012, a Centre County jury convicted Gerald A. ‘Jerry’ Sandusky of sexually abusing ten preteen and teenage boys. On October 9, 2012, Judge John M. Cleland imposed a sentence of 30 to 60 years imprisonment. Sandusky, who has been in prison for 11 years, will turn 80 this month.

Born on November 9, 1993, Aaron Fisher testified at Sandusky’s trial when he was 18. He is now 30. The investigation of Sandusky began in November 2008 and resulted in charges in November 2011. For two years, Aaron Fisher was the only ‘victim’ the state of Pennsylvania had.

Fisher testified Sandusky engaged in mutual fellatio with him over 25 times when he was between the ages of 12 and 14. During the alleged abuse of Fisher, Sandusky was in his 60s.

Fisher was rarely able to construct complete sentences to describe what he said happened to him in three grand jury appearances and at trial.

His sworn testimony was accompanied by profuse tears, sobbing, gasping for breath, and an inability to articulate, which was the opposite of the teenager’s persona among his friends and teachers, where he was widely known as a talkative young man, teller of tall tales, a braggart, and in the small town of Lock Haven, PA, pop: 9400, the town liar.

Fisher became a millionaire for his story – through a settlement with Penn State, which once employed Sandusky, and from where Sandusky derived much of his local fame – as one of the most successful defensive coaches of one of the most successful college football teams, the Nittany Lions, under the most successful college coach of all – Joe Paterno. ...

... The Office of the Pennsylvania Attorney General had publicized a hotline for prospective Sandusky victims. 

News reports indicated Penn State would be on the hook because of Sandusky’s association with the university. 

It was clear to Quidetto [Paden's mother], as it was to the civil lawyer she retained for her son, that for any would-be victims, or fakers, willing to pretend they were victims, there was a windfall to be had.

Quidetto called the assistant principal of the high school her son attended, who contacted the Pennsylvania State Troopers. 

Before she could tell her son what she planned, the troopers showed up at the trailer.

Paden’s answers were unrehearsed. He told the troopers that Sandusky had not done anything sexually to him.

His story changed shortly afterward – and, with his mother’s encouragement, he became a witness for the prosecution.  ...
