I have wondered and hoped that he might be innocent from day 1 because I have seen hundreds of horse play things between kids and athletes when I was in my squash career and head of the association. I have not read the trial transcript however, but can only guess what the incentives to create damaging allegations are for the "victims".

URGENT: Sandusky Professes Innocence, Vows to Fight

Jerry Sandusky says he's innocent and vows to keep fighting in a recorded statement broadcast by a student-run radio station at Penn State. The statement was aired Monday, a day before the former assistant football coach was scheduled to be sentenced on 45 counts of child sexual abuse. One of his lawyers says he would stake his life on the legitimacy of the statement. In it, Sandusky says that in his heart, he knows he didn't do what he calls "these alleged disgusting acts." He says he's the victim of Penn State, investigators, civil attorneys, the media and others. Mike Fliegelman, student general manager of Penn State Com Radio, says the statement was recorded at the county jail in Bellefonte. Defense attorney Karl Rominger initially said he wasn't aware of the recording. Early Tuesday he confirmed to The Associated Press that it was authentic.

Craig Mee writes: 

Perhaps you are being "gaslighted".

Like 50s murderess, Barbara Graham whose last words ("good people are always so sure they're right") set off a firestorm of doubt in the public's mind about her guilt and inspired the film Gaslight with Ingrid Bergman, we now have our sociopath molester throwing in doubt at the last opportunity before his sentencing with all the urgency and fervor that happens when sociopaths are caught at their own game.

I recommend you read The Sociopath Next Door by Barbara Strout. There is some value in knowing the mindset of these types of people, supposedly 4% of the population. Sociopaths are people without the burden or restraint of a conscience. And the book dovetails into your other post about battle fatigue, where the conscience of the soldier is being forced into repression and then when his buddy is killed a straw breaks and either he lashes out at the enemy in a heroic or dangerous act or he points his emotion inwardly and commits suicidal types of behavior. I agree, financial markets are similar to war sometimes.
