As
his alleged victims take the stand
to claim the former Penn State football
coach sexually molested them, Sandusky's defense attorneys are asking the court
to let them present evidence that he has histrionic
personality disorder
.


According to the Cleveland Clinic, people with the disorder suffer from poor
self-esteem and resort to dramatics to gain approval.

"They have an overwhelming desire to be noticed, and often behave
dramatically or inappropriately to get attention," according
to the clinic's website.

One of the symptoms is to exhibit inappropriately seductive or flirtatious
behavior

    I think it's an excuse. He took advantage of children, used his position of power to get away with horrible, disgusting crimes, and *shudders* adopted 6 children, fostered others, all while being at a prestigious college that looked the other way while he was ruining these childrens' lives. Everyone on the board of that despicable college in the 90's to the present should be fired and kept from working at any other college. Period. They are all responsible for the irreversible damage they caused. Paterno was just as responsible. If he actually cared about those children like he claimed, he would have gone to the police. He would have AT THE VERY LEAST made a recorded video statement to be shown after his death. His was selfish to not have done this.

    The people I feel the worst for? all of those children, ones who have been identified and the ones who are still too scared to come forward, who felt like absolutely NO ONE cared about their well being, how they must have felt no one cared about who was hurting them physically and mentally. That is the saddest part of this whole thing.
