David Clohessy, director of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, issued a statement regarding Dottie Sandusky’s comments.
“We hope more rational relatives of Sandusky will persuade Mrs. Sandusky to stop making public statements that will not help her husband and will only further hurt others.
“Mrs. Sandusky apparently believes she’s right and everyone else is wrong – dozens of victims, police, prosecutors, judges, journalists and current and former Penn State officials. We feel sorry for her. But we feel even sorrier for the young men who are in pain because they were sexually assaulted by Jerry Sandusky and who must feel more pain today because of Mrs. Sandusky’s insensitive statements.
“Claiming that suffering child sex abuse victims are motivated by money is like saying adult rape victims ‘asked for it.’ Both are outdated, self-serving myths that only deepen already deep wounds of crime victims.”
