Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse for Jerry Sandusky, an attorney for the former Penn State defensive coordinator said on Thursday that his embattled client used to shower with young boys to teach them "hygiene."
Attorney Karl Rominger, part of the team representing Sandusky against more than 50 felony counts of sexual abuse, admitted to a local television station in Harrisburg, Pa., that his client showered with adolescents he claimed to be "mentoring" through his charity, The Second Mile, but denied there was evidence of criminal activity. Instead, Rominger argued, Sandusky was showering with them to teach them how to shower.
"Some of these kids don't have basic hygiene skills," Rominger told the station. "Teaching a person to shower at the age of 12 or 14 sounds strange to some people, but people who work with troubled youth will tell you there are a lot of juvenile delinquents and people who are dependent who have to be taught basic life skills like how to put soap on their body."
