One of the new alleged victims in the sexual harassment case against former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky told a grand jury that Sandusky's wife ignored his screams for help while Sandusky raped him in the basement of their home.

The young man, identified in the new complaint as Victim No. 9, who is now 18 years old, said in his testimony that Sandusky attempted to rape him at least 16 times, sometimes successfully.

"I took it at first he was just a nice guy, like he went to church every weekend, his kids come over every once in a while and stuff," the young man testified. "And after a while, like, he got used to me and stuff and started getting further and further wanting — to touch feely."

The presentment says the contacts eventually "escalated to sexual assaults."

The testimony is revealed in a new grand jury presentment that the Pennsylvania attorney's general office released after Sandusky was arrested Wednesday on new charges of sexual abuse of two more young men.

The five-page presentment gives numerous graphic details of the alleged assaults on Victims 9 and 10, including allegations that Sandusky forced Victim No. 10 to perform oral sex on him.

And yet the boy went back. It's not that I don't believe him but it does leave me with questions.

Sadly, from my reading, that appears not uncommon I guess it is some sort of variation on "The Stockholm Sydrome" where the victim begins to identify with the abuser or think that somehow they are at fault because of the abuser's actions.

Hard to say. I'd have to read the deposition.

farmfriend, i picked up on the same things. i didn't understand it either. first i wondered at the boys' parents that they'd let their kids spend the night at an adult man's house. how clueless - or CAREless can a parent get.

O_I, I was HOPING you could put a name on the reason a kid would go BACK to a situation like that...it's quite mind-boggling.

I read the deposition...I didn't get any clues from it. I'm sure the defense will play it up, though. And of course, it's always possible these last two are not telling the truth, I suppose.

I didn't either. I have no doubt he is telling the truth but I have questions. I can see mom glad that this well known authority figure was helping her kid. No mother wants to believe that someone like this has evil intent. And the kid was getting gifts etc. There is also the idea that the body reacts in ways we may not want. Why does the abused wife go back? It happens. But I still am curious.

when it came to my kids i was paranoid to the utmost...my youngest used to tell us how we "ruined her life" because we wouldn't let her sleep over ANYWHERE....too bad...at least we knew she wasn't being assaulted.
