The first lawsuit has been brought against Jerry Sandusky and Penn State University as well as the Second Mile Charity Foundation which was run and created by Jerry Sandusky. There are 8 different accusers in the court case pending against Sandusky but the lawsuit was brought by a 9th un-named victim who himself had said he thought he was the only boy abused until he read the grand jury indictment.
I'm glad that the punitive and monetary portions of this monstrosity have begun because the victims could face a lifetime of aftercare in regards to the emotions, depression, anxiety and other possible feelings that will no doubt surface throughout their lives. The treatment that is necessary is not only expensive but it's very time consuming depending on how in depth you have been affected.
The victims who have spoken out have talked about decades of abuse at the hands of Jerry Sandusky who was a mentor, hero if you will to them. I would think they have scars that will take just as long if not longer to heal as they were abused in time lengthwise. The trust that was abused and taken advantage of can touch several different facets of their lives including everything from damaging possible healthy relationships with family, friends, and loved ones, anxiety and depression can cause difficulty in sleeping, and even maintaining a schedule and following through on day to day activities.
I really hope and wish that all of these boys/young men now have the chance to work through all of the pain they have suffered at the hands of this monster and even though money isn't going to bring back their innocence and childhood years they more then deserve the time to get away and relax while putting themselves in a living situation where they can maintain a healthy living style and start getting the longterm help they need.
