Matthew Sandusky seldom uses the name of his adoptive father, the man who stole his childhood and drove him to the brink of suicide.
Instead, he talks about “my perpetrator,” “the person” or simply “the man.”
Sandusky was the keynote speaker Wednesday at the 26th annual Child Abuse Prevention Conference and luncheon at the University of North Florida hosted by the Exchange Club Family Center of Jacksonville.
He was sexually abused from the age of 8 to 17 by his adoptive father, Jerry Sandusky — the former longtime Penn State football defensive coordinator.
The elder Sandusky, now 75, is serving a 30- to 60-year prison term after being convicted in June 2012 of 45 counts of child molestation. Sandusky was found guilty of molesting 10 boys over at least a 15-year period, and is designated a violent sexual offender.
The scandal ended coach Joe Paterno’s lengthy career and the careers of other Penn State administrators.
