    Sandusky pleased by grandkid visits, jury rulings

    HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Jerry Sandusky says he's relieved and pleased that a judge is giving him permission to see his grandchildren as he awaits trial on child sex abuse allegations.

    The former Penn State assistant football coach reacted on Monday to Judge John Cleland's ruling that lets him have contact with most of his grandchildren. Cleland also resolved other pretrial issues.

    A release from Sandusky's lawyer's office says they're also happy with Cleland's denial of a request by the state attorney general's office that jurors be selected from outside the State College area.

    Defense attorney Joe Amendola says they've always believed they'll be able to get a fair and impartial jury in Centre County.

    Cleland says he hopes to start the trial in mid-May.

      a child molester getting visits from children...??? who is this judge ??? this is just sickening to me ,.,,,how he feels he is deserving of being allowed to be around any kids is just wrong and his own children are probably conditioned to think his actions are ok...this guy is sick and someone somewhere someday is going to reward him with a special gift....!!!! i hope its in the prison shower where he likes to rape little boys,,,,

        Note the article indicated he gets to molest "most" of his grandkids, i wonder which one of his relatives told the judge he ain't letting ole 'papaw" fondle the kids any more? He is obviously a Sociopath and very clever. Good thing he finally got caught "red handed".

        It's the daughter-in-law who is fighting it. He has already been accused of raping one of her son's. Guess the boys aunts and uncles think he is lying also.

        @Giaa.. Well, a court can not force parents to have their children visit their grandparents...so the parents(or parent) must be Ok with it...

      This Judge needs to be recalled. Why isn't this filthy man in jail instead of house arrest? Pedophiles are the worst of the worst.
      • Benjamin 3 mths ago
        Judges shouldn't be elected in the first place.. Nevertheless, we shouldn't recall judge simply because we disagree with a ruling.

        Umm, due process? I know with the Gov. killing it's own citizens aboad (and soon here - slippery slope) Due process is a foreign word to most now adays. Very sad. That being said, if this dude is found guilty the jury should give him 20 years with bubba and friends.
    • Liberated Insanity  •  3 mths ago
      They fail to mention that the reason he can't have contact with all of his grandchildren is because he is accused of raping one of them. So nice how the media leaves that out of every sob story about how the poor man is missing his poor little grandchildren. How many other people in society would be accused of raping 10 children including their own grandchild and then get the sympathy this man gets to have visitation?
      • Benjamin 3 mths ago
        Wasn't a sob story to me...
      • J 3 mths ago
        if you would read it does say that he was able to see most of his grandchildren. just because something happened doesnt mean they will always say it. Must be your first time reading the news.
    • MissCindy  •  3 mths ago
      The entire family is nuts! Who on earth would willingly allow their children to be around this man?
      • Beachy C 3 mths ago
        I read another article that mentioned a daughter-in-law who was objecting to her kids having contact with him. It's sad that this ruling is going to cause problems in her marriage - pitting spouse against spouse. I don't see why he can't just wait til the trial is over in a year. Pictures and letters should suffice until he is cleared of charges.
      • Reggie 3 mths ago
        I think the daughter in law you are discussing is divorcing or separated from the son....? Not sure though, but I thought I read that somewhere?
      • Reggie 3 mths ago
        I agree with the original poster though, who would let their kid be around this man? It isn't one possible false accusation it is over 50?....sorry, that does not add up to it being a mistake.
    • Greg  •  3 mths ago
      I'm glad he's happy. I love our justice system. This country is rotting from the inside out.
    • Thomas  •  New York, New York  •  3 mths ago
      He's only facing 50 counts of child molestation...why wouldn't the judge grant him access to even more children??
    • entropy  •  3 mths ago
      He probably get a few years, does rehab, and goes back to molesting young boys. A nobody would get a much harsher sentence.
    • BluePitBull  •  3 mths ago
      I suppose he wouldnt touch the grandkids in a sexual way yet we didnt think Josh Powell would blow up his own kids.
    • Gaia's mom  •  Jenkintown, Pennsylvania  •  3 mths ago
      and i really don't understand how an "alleged" child molester is allowed to have contact with children!!!
    • Colonel  •  3 mths ago
      Our judicial system moves like a pregnant snail. The evidence against this filthy creep is so overwhelming. Just fry him.
    • entropy  •  3 mths ago
      The crazy headline makes it look like everyone should be happy for him and it was all just a big misunderstanding. Even his lawyer is kissing butt.
    • Briar Rose  •  3 mths ago
      He is pleased, because now he can relieve himself with his grandchildren instead of his wife who will turn up the tv as usual to drown out the crying and drink her 5th glass of wine. His children will drop off their screaming children crying," Mom, I don't want to see Grandpa!" "Hush child! The judge said it's ok for you to see him."

      The judge has to be an undercover pedophile and Sandusky bribed him by allowing him to have access to his friends in the sex slave industry. The top names of the trade. 10 years from now, we are going to hear the truth about grandpa's visits to his grandchildren and Sandusky will die a peaceful death having raped hundreds of little boys. His wife will die in peace afterward, because she will no longer hear crying coming from the basement...
    • Tallcoolbeauty  •  3 mths ago
      Of course he's pleased; pedophiles love to groom their potential victims. This ruling is disgusting and disgraceful.
    • Robert  •  San Diego, California  •  3 mths ago
      Disgusting. I don't know how you can allow such a thing. Even if it's supervised, it's not right for the kids to later in life think that they could have been sexually assaulted by their creepy grandpa. It's not right. Lets lock this guy up and throw away the key already!
    • Tom  •  Atlanta, Georgia  •  3 mths ago
      I'll bet he's pleased to have little boys in his lap again. Wonder how big the shower in his home is.
    • gadfly05  •  3 mths ago
      His list of alleged victims already includes one of his grandsons.
    • Liza S.  •  3 mths ago
      I am so sick of Sandusky playing the '"victim" in all of this.
    • vwgirl  •  Naples, Florida  •  3 mths ago
      I am sure Sandusky is very pleased with the judges ruling....what pervert wouldn't be! Pray for the grandchildren.
    • Errrrrrrrr  •  3 mths ago
      Ha. The JUDGE says he can see the grandchildren, but I sincerely doubt the daughter-in-law will agree to such a visit. You'd have to pry my cold dead fingers off of my kids before he was allowed to set EYES on mine.
