    Jerry Sandusky’s wife tries to run down a reporter with her car

    This time, it was the wife of former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky who was nearly flagged for illegal contact in the latest odd twist of the disturbing story.

    Dottie Sandusky, wife of a man who has been accused of multiple counts of sexual misconduct with young boys, took out some of her frustrations on unsuspecting reporters who were trying to do a report near the Sanduskys' driveway.

    WPXI reporter Courtney Brennan and a photographer went to the Sandusky home Thursday, a day before his bail hearing, to report on complaints that Sandusky has been watching school children from his back porch. Currently under house arrest, the former coach's home is adjacent to a local park and near an elementary school.

    In the middle of the interview, Brennan abruptly stopped talking and walked out of the camera shot. That's when Dottie Sandusky's SUV came speeding into frame and went roaring up her driveway.

    Brennan told Pittsburgh's WKST-FM 96.1 that Sandusky's wife "revved her engine at us before she came flying up the hill into her driveway."

    The family's attorney, Joseph Amendola, he of the "hygiene defense theory," did stop to talk to the news crew. When asked by the WPXI reporter about the latest allegations, Amendola responded saying that children will often take a shortcut through the yard and that his client "is out there on occasion" when this happens.

      I can't figure out what this guy is doing outside of jail. The issue of whether he is watching young kids from his deck shouldn't even be at play in this situation.

      How would you like to find out, in a very public way, that your husband is a monster who rapes little boys? To have gaggles of reporters camped out in front of your house asking questions you can't answer, all while you try desperately to figure out what the Hell you're married to? Here's hoping you never will. Please remember, Sandusky's wife, kids, grandkids... are all victims, too. Maybe even more than all those kids because they loved a ghost.

        It is impossible that Dottie did not know that her husband is/was a pedophile. She even mentioned it to a friend that she felt that he was really "over the top" in his dealings with children.

        This video shows me a rich #$%$ who got it all taken away, and now she's even more of a bithc

        'Victim' or not. That's no excuse for driving dangerously when pedestrians are present.

      Reporters are becoming just as bad as lawyers these days. I'm no Sandusky protector. I think he should be in jail right now. However, the reporters don't need to be standing at his driveway either.

        I totally agree, this reporter had no business standing in the middle of Mrs. Sandusky's driveway!!! You want to do a story, do it within the LEGAL boundaries of the property!!!!
      • Wings Fan 3 months ago
        That reporter was not standing in the driveway. She was in the road. And the reason is to report on a child raping pedophile. He deserves zero privacy for the rest of his God given life, he ruined that freedom, that reporter has a right to report anything she wants to. Maybe if people didn't go around raping children they wouldn't be so heavily observed for their future actions.

      Can Yahoo send Chris Chase over to stand in the driveway.

    • Joe Swatzell  •  Hagåtña, Guam  •  3 months ago
      You are cute, BUT YOU ARE STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! Folks standing in MY driveway might get hit too...it's just "chlorinating the gene pool".
    • Susan  •  Pennsauken, New Jersey  •  3 months ago
      Love the headline, "tries to run down a reporter". I'm sure if Sandusky's wife was "trying" to run her down, then she would have succeeded. Give me a break, most reporters have no class and should NOT be blocking people from their driveways.
    • SandbagSix  •  3 months ago
      Which side to take...the wife of the child rapist, or the bloodsucking media maggot. That's a touch one.
      • SandbagSix 3 months ago
        TOUGH...not touch. Unless you're Sandusky, of course.
    • Coco the Wonderchimp  •  Madison, Wisconsin  •  3 months ago
      The rapist is evil, not the reporter.
      • Newjackcity 3 months ago
        I agree that the rapist is evil but the reporter shouldn't have been blocking the driveway.
        The wife had nothing to do with the charges as they pertain to her husband, but I'm guessing that she's tired of reporters showing up and standing in her driveway like flies to shyte.
    • Alan Atwood  •  3 months ago
      Misleading headline. Pure spin. Journalistic bankruptcy. Why do you guys so often see a need to sensationalize beyond what the facts can support? If Mrs. Sandusky had actually tried to run down this reporter and crew, there would be an arrest...because trying to run someone down with your car is a crime. A serious one.
    • colts  •  Louisville, Kentucky  •  3 months ago
      If only Chris Chase would stand in her driveway.
    • Dog Breath  •  Petaluma, California  •  3 months ago
      This reporter is one of many that have been camping out in the front/middle of their driveway since this thing broke..."tried to run down" is a tad bit pejorative, don't you think?
    • SHELBY  •  Ocoee, Florida  •  3 months ago
      If SANDUSKY was in jail ( where he should be ) this would not be happening !! The scandal isn't enough. I am sure there are other places where the REPORTERS TALKING TO LAWYERS can stand besides the drive way !!
    • Jennifer  •  Boise, Idaho  •  3 months ago
      Imagine that...a rich, white male receiving preferential treatment from the criminal justice system. He sexually abused countless young boys and he spends his days and nights relaxing and lounging comfortably in his home. I'm so disgusted by this it makes me want to puke.
    • SanJuanKid  •  3 months ago
      It looked like the "reporter" was standing right in the driveway of the house. Tell her to stay off of private property.
    • Michael  •  Washington, District of Columbia  •  3 months ago
      I guess she is not a very good driver. she missed, she should try harder.
    • Shiloh  •  3 months ago
      This headline should read: Stoopid Reporter Fails to Move Out of Driveway When Owner Approaches.
    • Vic  •  Portland, Oregon  •  3 months ago
      Stupid reporter, she walked slowly as she saw the car driving driving toward her, it's not like that she had to dive for cover.

      IDIOTIC Yahoo and its non relevant new.
    • Gary J  •  Highlands Ranch, Colorado  •  3 months ago
      Not a fan of Sandusky and yes, evidence in media suggests Mr. Sandusky is guilty. But I trust media reporting about as far as I can make them fly after hitting them with my car! LOL
      If she almost hit a reporter in her driveway implies they were on her private property. And if she 'revved her engine' before 'flying.. into her driveway', she was not 'trying to run down a reporter' as title to this article says. The noise of her engine would indicate to people with half a brain that the car was about to take off. This is just another case of media personal making headlines in a story. This is in stark contrast to what was once professional journalism when reporters were instructed to report unbiased accounts of the events andmore importantly to not become part of the story.

      He should have never been allowed reasonable, even low at $50,000 bail, when you consider the numbers of incidents and the likelihood of conviction. He is creepy beyond words, and he's going to do what those who rape little boys do, scope out new toys. I think the judge should be either voted out of office or pressured to resign.
