It appears that you might be attempting to make a claim that v10 (RR) made credible claims that Sandusky abused him that could stand on the own to convict Sandusky. If that is what you are attempting, you are not even close. I would love to see him testify at a new trial. I am confident that his story would easily be shown to not hold water.
I don’t believe RR’s accusations are at all credible. There was no contemporaneous reports and RR’s story got worse over time. There is a serious question of whether that Jerry and Dottie even know RR.RR has a rap sheet that includes burglary and assault so he is character is questionable at a minimum. His silver convertible story is easily refuted. I will give 3 sources of information on RR. From framingpaterno, from Professor Crews’ book review, and from an observer from trial.

Victim #10:
§ Was added to the case after Sandusky was arrested after calling the hotline number and only claiming having been groped in a pool.
§ He came to his allegation after speaking with his friend, Victim #3.
§ He was twice incarcerated for burglary and assault.
§ His timeline would also have required Sandusky to miss significant practice time at Penn State, for which there is no evidence whatsoever. It also appears to overlap the story of Victim 4.
§ He claimed to have been abused in a silver convertible, which does not exist in this case.
§ He claims to have met Dottie Sandusky but she does not know who this person is.
§ Contradicted himself at trial with regard to Sandusky’s demeanor when he refused to give in to Sandusky’s sexual demands.

RR (b. 1988) had attended a Second Mile camp, but neither Jerry nor Dottie Sandusky could recall ever having met him. He hadn’t turned out well, having been incarcerated for burglary in 2004 and again in 2007 for having robbed, beaten, and permanently injured an elderly man. He was probably hard up for money when the Sandusky hotline posed an opportunity for sudden improvement in his fortunes.
Unlike the accusers who had felt Sandusky’s kindness and may have suffered pangs of conscience about betraying him, RR wholeheartedly embraced the role of prosecution witness. He had seen Sandusky once or twice a month, he stated, through 1997, 1998, and part of 1999, and on nearly every occasion the man had made sexual contact with him. At last, supposedly, they had begun to take turns committing fellatio.
RR’s story, fitting the general pattern, was a tissue of physical, temporal, and motivational absurdities. But the jury, without having been shown that Sandusky and RR were even acquainted, found it compelling. Indeed, the jurors believed all eight of the Second Mile veterans who testified—forming, collectively, a portrait of a man with little time to do anything but scurry from one unreported molestation to the next. Even v1 and v9 would have had to take turns getting ravaged in Sandusky’s basement, as their supposed ordeals there overlapped between 2005 and 2008.
This observations are from a trial observer.
RR (v10) DOB 1998
Attorney: Andrew Shubin
Spoke with friend JS (v3) before allegations. Was roommates with him during 98 Second Mile camp.
In 1998 RR lived in Moshannon with his mother, stepfather and stepbrother. He last saw his father at the age of four. He attended Second Mile in 1997, 98, 99 . In 98 his roommate was JS (v3). In ’98 he was placed in foster care with Cheryl Sharer in Milesburg and attended his second Second Mile summer Camp. After being in the foster home for eleven months he lived with grandparents in Maryland and later lived again with his mother and stepfather.
He was incarcerated twice. For burglary in 2004, age 17, and in September of 2007 for burglary and assault. He and a 17 year old attacked an elderly man on the street, punched him in the face leaving him with permanent injuries, and robbed him of his backpack which held a camera and three books but no money. He was sentenced for 21 months and served until 2009. At time of trial he was married and his wife was pregnant.
November, December 2011
Following the arrest on November 5, 2011, Linda Kelly published a hotline number which RR called.
At the first interview with Sgt. Cranga, he told him he knew JS (v3), and that Sandusky. had groped him in the pool. He did not tell Cranga anything about oral sex.
During the second interview, he said that he performed oral sex on Sandusky. in a silver convertible. The Sandusky’s never owned any kind of convertible.
In the Grand Jury, he told them Sandusky demanded oral sex but he refused and then Sandusky got quiet. At trial he said that Sandusky demanded oral sex and he refused and Sandusky made a threat and got angry, then apologized and told RR he loved him. When confronted with his dissimilar stories, he resolved it by saying Sandusky was quiet but had a displeasing look on his face.
June 22, 2012
New stories emerge during trial. RR described being invited to a football game. At some point in time, although he couldn’t remember days or times or connected events, he was taken to the basement and after wrestling around, and Sandusky abruptly and silently pull his shorts down and began to perform oral sex on him. His reaction to that was to freak out, get nervous and scared. It lasted a couple of minutes. Sandusky went upstairs after the couple minutes. RR said Sandusky told him if he ever told anybody he would never see his family again. Later Sandusky apologized to RR and told him he loved him. On cross he said Dorothy was in the house. He said he went to Jerry’s house five times. RR said that Sandusky reached up inside his shorts as he was sitting on his shoulders in the pool, and grabbed his genitals. He testified that after a trip to Nittany Mall he was taken to the house and had oral sex performed on him and he returned the favor. He was taken home to Ms. Sharer’s after that. He did not tell her about the event. He never told anybody because he was scared, ashamed and embarrassed.
Upon questioning by Amendola RR regarding the attack in the basement story, trying to pin down a time, RR said the first time he went to the Sandusky residence was in 1997 before a football game and there were other children and his wife. Next he said the first time he went to the house nobody was there, not even Mrs. Sandusky. He said he did not tell JS (v3), his roommate that Sandusky grabbed his genitals in the pool during camp in 98. When asked to provide information about the alleged times JS picked him up and took him to his home to assault him, RR was vague and said he couldn’t recall days. RR said usually later in the afternoon to evening time, nobody else was in the home and he was always taken home at night. This is an unlikely scenario due to Sandusky’s duties as Penn State Coach during fall when RR alleges abuse.
On cross, RR strayed from saying abuse only happened in 98 and included 99. Confronted with a statement on an application to attend the 2000 Second Mile Camp, indicating he enjoyed the camps, he said that was a wrong statement.
RR’S testimony was inconsistent and contained obvious fabrications.
Does anyone what to take a stab and explain why they think RR’s(v10) testimony is credible and can easily stands on its own to convict Sandusky on his own? My guess is that at a minimum, one would have to do a lot of stretching to make that case. Anybody else want to take a stab and make the case for another specific claimant that can provides a story that makes a credible accusation of CSA by Sandusky sufficient enough to convict Sandusky on its own?
This basic question has been asked consistenly for the past few years. It has been asked many times in this thread and I don't believe anybody has come with anything close to credible evidence that would be capable of convicting Sandusky of CSA on its own. Does anybody else think that this revelation says something?
