Was probably more difficult to speak up since he was the "son"...what a tragic story. Very admirable to step up and hopefully if the juror doesn't convict (would be a travesty) Jerry Sandusky, Matt and others will be able to stop this madness.
Very sad for Matt. I can understand why he hesitated to come forward. He must have been so torn – love for his family and not wanting to do anything to destroy them but also feeling guilty for not coming forward sooner and thus allowing Sandusky to harm other boys. I find it very odd that his natural mother would not have fought tooth and nail to keep the Sandusky's from adopting Matt given that she suspected something weird was going on. This entire case is very upsetting. I hope that Sandusky is convicted for punitive reasons but also to keep him away from other boys.
