The statistics on abuse of boys surprised me for some reason. Maybe because, as they say in the article, it's not talked about as much, reported or taken as seriously. Bolding of comments are mine.



As the Penn State sex abuse scandal unfolds — ghastly detail by detail — on front pages, the airwaves and Twitter accounts, the news can be especially devastating for one group in particular: former victims of sexual abuse.

According to CNN, some of the victims are being re-traumatized with the news coverage and hearing Sandusky comments, etc.  I rather imagine it would be like seeing the face of one's rapist on TV constantly...I would not be eligible as a juror I'm afraid:  Just hearing Sandusky's rambling comments the other day I am convinced he is guilty as hell...(normally I am more reticent on "branding" a man guilty but not in this case:  his own words were to me basically a confession in which he thought he did no wrong!)

According to the news, one boy's anonimity was compromised....sad.
