Sexual abuse, kiddie porn, 10 year old’s detailed info nails this guy. Gee. It’s almost like there’s a pattern.

:rolleyes:

People became suspicious when when they found the only instruments available for “music therapy” were the “skin flute”, “mouth organ”, and “tromboner”.

But he avoided prison. How did _that_ happen?  
“McCarty was also sentenced to a lifetime of supervised release and told to pay $98,000 (more than £61,000) in compensation.”

The perfect cellmate for Sandusky would be a former victim who grew up to be an axe murderer.

He didn’t avoid prison. He’s going to prison for 30 years. _Then_ he’s on supervised release. I don’t really understand why he was tried in the US when the primary witness and victim was apparently British, but he’ll suffer more in American prison they he would here, so fuck it.

Actually, I think Rorschach from the Watchmen would be the best cellmate.

To be frank, Sandusky’s perfect cellmate would be [Christopher Scarver](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Scarver). Who says you can’t do good deeds behind bars?
