Jerry Sandusky wrote a book called "Touched: The Jerry Sandusky Story."

Jerry Sandusky wrote a book called "Touched"



(CBS) - Years before Jerry Sandusky was indicted on charges of sexually abusing boys, the former Penn State football coach wrote a book about his life. Over a period of ten years, beginning in 1991, Sandusky worked with former equipment manager and Penn State journalism student Kip Richeal to record what Sandusky called a "unique" life. What they eventually produced, in 2000, was the book "Touched: The Jerry Sandusky Story."

In the introduction of the book, Richeal, who was born with hip dysplasia and is disabled, describes an "odd" question posed by Sandusky when they first met:

My first real contact with Jerry Sandusky came from a rather odd question he posed to me: "How much do you weigh, young man?" I was puzzled, because I knew he wasn't interested in me as a linebacker, but I told him I weighed about 95 pounds. "Get up on that scale," he ordered. I did and the locker room scale topped out at 96. "Not bad," Jerry said, trying to sound as mean as possible, "but you still have some work to do." Sensing my confusion, Jerry stared at me and continued. "We gotta get you up to 100 pounds before you're ready to fight me." Fight him? I barely knew him. "When you get to 100 pounds, it's gonna be you and me in the center of the locker room in a boxing match. Then I'll show you who the real boss is. It'll be you and me eyeball-to-belly button."

9. Anybody think maybe he picked that title as a sick inside joke?
Maybe for chuckles between him and fellow pedophiles?

20. I think so too... this was no coincidence
I just posted a timeline of events from HuffPost and after reading it I have decided that this guy is one sick fuck. I would not be surprised at all if the pimping the kids out story was true.

What did Sandusky had in mind for this disabled child? I hope he never saw him again.
