‘Bout time! Jerry Sandusky Sex Abuse Victims To Receive $60 Million From Penn State Although former pervy Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky is already serving up to 60 years in prison for sexually abusing multiple underaged boys, yet another wave of justice has been served as 26 of the victims are set to receive a massive payout courtesy of the University. via Fox News Penn State has announced that it is paying $59.7 million to 26 young men to settle claims of child sexual abuse at the hands of former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. The university said it had concluded negotiations that have lasted about a year. The school said 23 deals are fully signed and three are agreements in principle. The school faces six other claims, and the university says it believes some do not have merit while others may produce settlements. “We hope this is another step forward in the healing process for those hurt by Mr. Sandusky, and another step forward for Penn State,” University President Rodney Erickson said in a statement released Monday. “We cannot undo what has been done, but we can and must do everything possible to learn from this and ensure it never happens again at Penn State.” No amount of monetary compensation can undo what these men endured, but $60 million surely can’t hurt either.
When the pre-sale started for the US on May 23rd, I was so excited when I found out about it. I flipped out that just maybe, I would get to see Justin in concert, it was the happiest moment EVER. I told my mom and my heart BROKE with her reply, “We are going fishing tomorrow” the day of pre sale for JUSTIN BIEBER. I wouldn’t get tickets but those were just pre sale right? I still had a chance? When the whole tour went on sale for everyone I told my mom what time they would be released. She had to work, my step-dad had to work and I had school. She said, “Oh we still have months til the concert” and blah blah this blah blah that. We didn’t even have the money then anyways so I couldn’t have got them. I was HEARTBROKEN . Once I found out the whole tour sold out in two hours I was SO excited for Justin but for me, I was depressed. As the months dragged on I was entering every contest to try and win tickets. When my birthday rolled around (August 3rd) I was really excited because I could be getting tickets. A few hours before my birthday my step-dad told me, “You’re going to cry today.” I was like WHAT?! He then left leaving me very suspicious. When it was time for gifts I got some posters and shirts, then my mom said “Oh yeah I forgot something upstairs.” My step-dad went a got a giant poster board and it had little cards on it. My mom videotaped me opening each card, the first one said “Its hard to believe its been 17 years since you came into this world,” the second..”Sweet and cuddly, giggly, bubbly our beautiful baby girl” the third “The years go by fast, oh how you’ve grown, but you are so sweet” the fourth… “We are blessed and proud of who you’ve become eve when all you do is ‘tweet’” the fifth… “Your birthday is here and it’s been hard to decide, whether to get you a Golden Retriever” sixth is…… “Of if you would like it better and would be more excited if we sent you to” the seventh “GO SEE JUSTIN BIEBER!” I SCREAMED HIS NAME WHEN I READ IT AND INSTANTLY STARTED CRYING. My mom got it all on video and it was just the BEST DAY. I had gotten tickets to see MY IDOL. They weren’t the best seats but I didn’t even care, I had gotten tickets too see him thats all that mattered. I was going to see him on October 8th 2012. My mom said I had to go with my sister but I asked if I could go with my best friend if she flew over from out of state. SHE SAID YES! She flew over October 5th and she was going to stay till the 9th, it was perfect. When I found out BieberFever was having a M&G contest, I thought I might as well try. I ended up winning the M&G contest in Portland! My friend was like WHAT?! She picked up my phone, and read what it said and BAM – she burst into tears after we cried for like 10 minutes. I ran downstairs, showed my mom and she was really excited for me too! We kept repeating before bed, “Ohmygod we are meeting JUSTIN BIEBER.” I was ecstatic! On the day of the concert we met up with some other girls we knew who won the M&G contest. We went into the building and got stuck at one part of the line for a while. All of a sudden Dan Kanter walks by! Then we got closer up in the line and I gave Kenny a high five and I said I loved him and he said it back. When it was our turn for the picture I gave Kenny my envelope I had for Justin. I was the first person to go in from my group so I got to be right next to him. I saw Alfredo and Moshe. Justin put his arm around me from the moment I stood next to him and we stood like that until everyone was situated and we took the picture. When the others were coming in the room he licked his lips. Someone said, “I love you Justin” he said ” I love you too!” After we got hugs, we got out of the room and screamed. They cut off out M&G wristbands and we had to wait outside til all the M&G’s were done. While we were waiting outside, all of us were flipping out and I smelled my shoulder where he was right next to me and it smelled JUST LIKE HIM . He smelled like HEAVEN, like a magical purple unicorn. I’m not going to tell you all what happened at the concert because some of you haven’t been to yours yet, but I will just tell you this: IT IS PERFECT. YOU WILL HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIVES. And if you don’t have tickets yet, the day of your concert get to the concert EARLY. Stay there all day up until the concert, you could get tickets from the crew, I know people who have. Thank you BieberFever.com for putting out that contest, I can NEVER thank you enough, you made my dreams come true. -@AmberBonBon Originally posted here: When the pre-sale started for the US on May 23rd, I was so…

Now 30, Jaycee Dugard is making progress in her therapy sessions while writing in her journal, family spokeswoman Nancy Seltzer tells KTXL-TV in Sacramento.
