Gerald Arthur "Jerry" Sandusky (born January 26, 1944) is a convicted serial child molester and retired American football coach. Sandusky served as an assistant coach for his entire career, mostly at Pennsylvania State University under Joe Paterno (from 1969 to 1999). He received Assistant Coach of the Year awards in 1986 and 1999.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sandusky Awarded Assistant Coach of the Year )〕 Sandusky authored several books related to his football coaching experiences. In 1977, Sandusky founded The Second Mile, a non-profit charity serving Pennsylvania underprivileged and at-risk youth.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.thesecondmile.org/welcome.php )〕 After Sandusky retired as assistant coach at Penn State, he continued working with The Second Mile at Penn State, maintaining an office at Penn State until 2011. In 2011, following a two-year grand jury investigation, Sandusky was arrested and charged with 52 counts of sexual abuse of young boys over a 15-year period from 1994 to 2009. He met his molestation victims through The Second Mile, who were children participating in the organization, and several of them testified against Sandusky in his sexual abuse trial. Four of the charges were subsequently dropped. On June 22, 2012, Sandusky was found guilty on 45 of the 48 remaining charges.〔 Sandusky was sentenced on October 9, 2012 to 30 to 60 years in prison—at his age, effectively a life sentence. On October 18, 2012, Sandusky's lawyers appealed his conviction in Centre County Court in Pennsylvania. They claim that they did not have enough time to prepare for their client's case.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2012/10/18/jerry-sanduskys-lawyers-appeal-conviction/ )〕 On October 31, 2012, Sandusky was moved to Pennsylvania's SCI Greene "supermax" prison to serve his sentence. On January 30, 2013, Pennsylvania Judge John Cleland denied Sandusky's request for a new trial.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://sports.yahoo.com/news/pa-judge-no-trial-jerry-173852846--spt.html )〕 ==Early life and family== Sandusky was born in Washington, Pennsylvania in 1944,〔Hyman, J., 2006, ''Game of My Life Penn State: Memorable Stories of Nittany Lion Football'', Sports Publishing〕 the only son of Evelyn Mae (née Lee), an Irish Catholic homemaker who came from a small Pennsylvania coal-mining town, and Arthur Sandusky, whose parents, Edward and Josephine Sendecki, had immigrated from Poland to East Vandergrift, Pennsylvania. His father Arthur served in the field of youth service programs for over 30 years, mostly as director of the Brownson House in Washington, Pennsylvania, a community recreation center for children.〔 There, he founded the Pennsylvania Junior Wrestling program and created junior basketball, volleyball, boxing and football programs for the Brownson House. He improved the facilities there by adding a new playground, gym, outdoor basketball court, and a renovated football field. He managed the 1955 Washington baseball team that won the Pony League World Series championship, the only team from Washington to win that championship. Arthur was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame in 1989.〔 At home, Jerry Sandusky adopted his own personal law called "Jer's Law" that he stuck to for many years. The rules adopted were that Sandusky could be mischievous but not to the point where someone could be intentionally hurt, he also vowed to not be disrespectful to his teachers and swear to himself that he would tell the truth if he was caught breaking any rules. Sandusky attended Washington High School, where he was a good student and standout athlete, playing baseball, basketball, and football. He was a leader on his junior high basketball team that went undefeated through the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League.〔 His classmates have described him as a studious "loner" who "never dated in high school" but was a popular and handsome athlete.〔 Sandusky later considered studying in the Eighth Grade as the most important time in his life where he knew how important it was to grow up.〔 Sandusky married Dorothy "Dottie" (''née'' Gross) in 1966, and together they have six adopted children. Sandusky and his wife have also served as foster parents.〔 One of Sandusky's sons, Jon Sandusky, is Director of Player Personnel for the Cleveland Browns.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Philadelphiaeagles.com )〕 Another son, E. J. Sandusky, is an assistant football coach at West Chester University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2011 Football Coaching Staff )〕 Sandusky described his family as "old fashioned" with Dottie being the leader. Matt Sandusky, adopted son and former foster child of Sandusky's, released a statement through his attorneys saying that Sandusky had sexually molested him as a child. Matt Sandusky's statement was released on the day the jury began deliberations in the sex abuse trial against Sandusky. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jerry Sandusky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
