'Touched' Penn State Coach Sandusky Autobiography Pummeled on Amazon
Outraged reviewers, in wake of the recent child sex abuse scandal, lambasted former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky’s autobiography titled Touched on Amazon.
In the autobiography, Sandusky recounted his football career and his involvement in children's charities.
“Mr. Sandusky is both a genius and a narcissist, which makes him the perfect predator. I guarantee this coward will ‘off’ himself before he ever spends a day with the general prison population,” said one Amazon reviewer. “I, for one, would like to see him spend the rest of his life locked up with the general prison population.”

“Jerry Sandusky is a waste of flesh. I hope he rots in prison for the terrible crimes he committed,” said Tim, another Amazon reviewer. “He has completely tarnished a great university and what has always been thought of as the most healthy college football program in NCAA history.”
Sandusky married and adopted six children. He retired in 1999.
“Revolting, disgusting, evil, child abuse,” said another Amazon reviewer. “Please remove this book, Amazon. How can you, in good conscience, have this book, with the unbelievably ironic title, still for sale?”
“This monster had the audacity of writing a book trying to paint a picture of a sensitive caring individual,” said Mark Monzo, another Amazon reviewer. “What he did to these victims, their families, to his family and to Penn State. He will rot in hell.”
Sandusky, charged with sexually assaulting at least eight young boys, was allowed to operate a summer football camp for boys on a Penn State satellite campus for six years.
One accuser, now 27, testified that Sandusky initiated contact with a shower "soap battle" leading to multiple instances of involuntary sexual intercourse, according to a grand jury report.
"Football coaching has been a wonderful career because it has brought me into contact with so many exceptional young people," said Sandusky in a statement released by the university.
"The opportunity to impact the lives of the many student-athletes who've come through the program has been one of the great rewards for me,” Sandusky added.
Touched has a one-and-a-half star rating on Amazon.
