Shocking twist in Jerry Sandusky case as new medical evidence could have proven former Penn State coach's innocence - but was left out of trial because he was too EMBARASSED

2 months ago 21

Crucial medical evidence that could have cleared former college football coach Jerry Sandusky of molesting boys was never presented to his trial because he was 'embarrassed about it', DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

The disgraced Penn State football legend was unable to perform sexually, according to health records that have surfaced as his case heads toward an appeal.

And now a leading physician is claiming that Sandusky's condition does not support allegations made by his accusers. 

'Sandusky's medical record does not seem to support the accusations,' Dr. Robert Oksenholt, a physician with decades of experience treating patients with similar conditions told DailyMail.com.

'In fact, it is quite contradictory.'

Sandusky, 80, is currently serving a 30 to 60-year sentence after being found guilty in 2012 of 45 counts of sexual abuse of young boys. He was charged with molesting and raping ten boys he met at his Second Mile charity over a 15-year period between 1994 and 2009.

Compelling medical evidence omitted from Jerry Sandusky's trial could've potentially helped acquit the convicted pedophile, records reveal 

The former Penn State football coach, pictured in prison with wife Dottie, spoke publicly for the first time in over a decade in an exclusive jailhouse interview with DailyMail.com earlier this month

In an exclusive prison interview 12 years after his conviction, Sandusky spoke publicly for the first time to DailyMail.com and maintained his innocence and claimed his accusers were manipulated by investigators and motivated by money. 

Now, unearthed medical documents have revealed that Sandusky suffers from hypogonadism, a condition in which his body does not produce enough sex hormones or testosterone.

Medical records for the disgraced football coach from 2005 to 2008 show that Sandusky, then in his 60s, also suffered from atrophied testicles and chronic prostatitis.

He was treated for the prostatitis, an inflammation of the prostate commonly caused by a bacterial infection that results in frequent and painful urination, low libido, erectile dysfunction, and painful ejaculations.

Sandusky was reluctant about revealing the information, initially believing that his medical history was a private matter for him and his wife.

Sandusky spoke to DailyMail.com last week from his prison cell after his legal team launched his latest bid to get a fresh trial, with the lawyers calling for a new trial.

He flat out denied molesting any of the boys, saying the only person he has ever had sex with is his wife, Dottie. 

Now doctors describe him as having an 'androgen deficient state,' meaning he had levels of male sex hormones so low they were unhealthy. 

Sandusky was undergoing 'testosterone replacement therapy for significant low levels of both free and total testosterone.'

Hypogonadism can mean that the sufferer is not able to perform sexually, leading experts to question if the diagnosis could have been used to disprove the allegations of abuse.

'According to my review of the medical record, and experience with patients with similar conditions, it is unlikely he could have or maintain an erection,' said Oksenholt.

Unearthed medical documents shared with DailyMail.com have revealed that Sandusky suffers from multiple conditions that affect sexual arousal and reproduction

One document showed Sandusky suffers from hypogonadism, a condition in which his body does not produce enough sex hormones or testosterone

Medical records from December 2008 show Sandusky also has a history of 'possible chronic prostatitis', an inflammation of the prostate commonly caused by a bacterial infection that results in frequent and painful urination, low libido, erectile dysfunction, and painful ejaculations

Sandusky's records cover the dates that two of his accusers, Aaron Fisher and  a boy known just as Victim 9, said that they were raped hundreds of times. 

Fisher would ultimately settle a civil case with Penn State for $7.5million while Victim 9 received $20million.

In total Sandusky was accused of rape and sexual abuse 520 times, with several of the victims claiming that he had anally raped them.

According to Penn State settlement records, none of his victims pursued disclosure of Sandusky's medical records to find out whether he had HIV or any venereal diseases.

His medical records were available to his legal team at his initial trial, but his then-lawyer Joe Amendola was 'overwhelmed' with 12,000 pages of discovery that were presented to him just days before the hearing started.

Amendola asked to be removed from the case over concerns that he did not have enough time to analyze all the documentation, but his request was denied.

The medical records state Sandusky has 'small' testicles measuring ¾ an inch, with the average size in adults being between two and three inches.

But according to police reports and testimony at his trial, none of the accusers mentioned Sandusky's medical deformity.

The medical records also reveal that as a young boy, Sandusky had 'delayed development of secondary sexual characteristics' that required shots.

He told his doctors he was 'unable to have children' because his 'sperm counts were low'. He and Dottie adopted six children.

Sandusky was a prominent coach in the world of college football and had been the defensive coordinator for Penn State's Nittany Lions since 1977 

He was handed a sentence of 30 to 60 years in prison in October 2012, and was resentenced in 2019, again to 30 to 60 years in prison

According to Sandusky, one of his accusers Aaron Fisher (right) became the key witness for the prosecution after he underwent repressed memory therapy and allegedly changed his story. Fisher was handed a $7.5million payout from Penn State. He is pictured posing with loose bills in a Facebook photo

The former Penn State coach told DailyMail.com that his accusers were 'incentivized' by money, adding that 'nobody came forward on their own'. 

In addition to the medical documents, original police reports state that when interviewed by officers none of the victims made allegations of abuse.

Authorities interviewed 250 former members of Sandusky's Second Mile charity, with only one claiming to be a victim.

Victim 3 initially told Pennsylvania State Police that Sandusky had 'never attempted anything inappropriate with him', during his interview in 2011.

He met the former coach during his work at the Second Mile charity, which was set up to support disadvantaged teens.

'I lost touch with him (Sandusky) around the time I went into 10th grade,' he said. 'I just always took it that he was trying to make sure I kept out of trouble. I don't believe any of this stuff is true and hope that he's found not guilty.'

At the time of the initial interview, Victim 3 told officers that Sandusky had put his hand on his knee, but added: 'I just thought it was something older guys did. I didn't really like it, but I didn't object.'

But after the interview, the victim met with civil lawyer Andrew Shubin, who represented three other victims, before changing his allegations while testifying to a grand jury in August 2011.

He claimed Sandusky would 'initiate physical contact' in a Penn State shower, and on 'at least one occasion' the former coach 'had an erection'.

Despite the shocking allegations and his subsequent conviction, Sandusky's wife Dottie has stood by her husband for the past 12 years

Dottie revealed she visits her husband once a week for three hours and speaks to him daily on the phone as well as scheduled Zoom sessions, traveling for three hours to visit him in prison

The convicted child molester had not spoken publicly about his charges or appeals since 2013, appearing in a documentary about university legend Joe Paterno (right) who died in the middle of the investigation and scandal

Minutes from the grand jury also reveal he claimed that Sandusky touched his genitals twice through his shorts, during an overnight stay.

The accuser added that he stayed at Sandusky's residence on 25 occasions.

Between the trial and the grand jury meeting, Victim 3 met with his lawyer six times along with a repressed memory therapist, with further details of his testimony changing.

He told the jury at Sandusky's criminal trial that the coach abused him in a shower room at Penn State by washing him, and in the basement of Sandusky's home, claiming that the coach would 'kiss his shoulders'.

Sandusky is currently serving a 30 to 60 year prison sentence at Laurel Highlands State Correctional Institution in Somerset, Pennsylvania 

Victim 3 testified that he had been in Sandusky's home overnight 50 times, adding: 'He touched my penis …he would touch me and rub me and grabbed me, and he gave me an erection.

'And at that time, I would roll over and try to get it away from him, and that's, that's pretty much where it would stop. I wouldn't let it go any further.'

He said Sandusky had never forced him to perform oral sex during any of their encounters.

Following Sandusky's trial and subsequent conviction, the victims' attorneys filed a lawsuit against Penn State, which had details not previously heard in court.

The documents claim that Sandusky 'fondled his genitals' on overnight trips in Sandusky's car, and 'coaxed' him to strip naked during stays at the former coach's home.

Another addition was that Sandusky raped Victim 3, and 'forced him to engage in oral sex', despite him testifying otherwise at the trial.

Victim 3 was given $7.25million for his abuse in a settlement and was never interviewed by Penn State officials, psychologists or physicians.

Each of Sandusky's accusers changed their claims before the trial, with Victim 7 also telling cops the coach had never abused him. He received $3.25million after the trial.

One of Sandusky's supporters testified in his trial claiming his travel schedule made it impossible for him to have committed the crimes

The allegations resulted in a wider child sex abuse scandal for the university that saw protests from outraged students at Penn State University's campus at the time 

In total Penn State, which is known for its pervasive football culture and team spirit, paid out $63.1million to victims of Sandusky 

He also retained Shubin as his attorney, and had sessions with a repressed memory therapist – which Sandusky's lawyers have dismissed as junk science in the hopes of getting a retrial.

Victim 7 told the court at Sandusky's trial: 'Through counseling and different things, I can remember a lot more detail that I had pushed aside than I did at that point.'

'Through counseling and through talking about things in my past, different things triggered different memories, and I have had more things come back, and it's changed a lot about what I can remember today and what I could remember before, because I had everything blocked out.'

In a report obtained by DailyMail.com, psychologist Christopher Barden analyzed thousands of pages of documents and trial testimony.

He wrote that the attorney and therapist interviewing witnesses were 'engaged in an unethical and/or criminal scam to manipulate witnesses to produce 'new memory claims of abuse' and thus obtain large settlement sums in civil litigation.'

Six of the eight victims who testified at trial underwent repressed recovered memory therapy, with all eight changing their allegations from the initial police reports.

In total Penn State paid out $63.1million to victims of Sandusky, with other expenses, settlements, and fines associated with the cases are estimated to be around $220million.

Of the eight accusers who testified against Sandusky in his trial, each received between $1.5million and $20million each.

Sandusky was handed a sentence of 30 to 60 years in prison in October 2012, and was resentenced in 2019, again to 30 to 60 years in prison.

The resentencing was prompted by a change in the law, with his original sentence based on mandatory sentencing guidelines that were later overturned.
