Jerry Sandusky Subject Of New BOMBSHELL Molestation Allegation: His Defense Attorney Joseph Amedola’s Nephew Jonathan- Federal Civil Suit Filed- Prank Or Prudent?
On Wednesday June 27th, the latest allegation against convicted child molester Gerald “Jerry” Sandusky hit the Northern Virginia Civil Courts. A Pro Se Federal personal injury suit was filed by a man certifying himself as Jonathan Amendola. He requests a restraining order based on fear of imminent bodily injury, and that Uncle Joe- does not care and never has.
Jonathan Amendola, an alleged nephew of Jerry Sandusky’s defense attorney Joseph Amendola claims Jerry Sandusky touched his crotch, kissed his earlobe while he was urinating and subsequently threatened him in 1991 while traveling with the football team as a “PSU” fan.

The request for a restraining order reads, in pertinent part:
THE PLAINTIFF FACES IMMINENT DANGER AND BODILY HARM FROM THE DEFENDANT AND MOVES THIS HONORABLE COURT TO ISSUE AN ORDER FOR DEFENDANT JERRY SANDUSKY TO RESPOND. I’M THE NEPHEW OF ATTORNEY JOE AMENDOLA AND I’M IN DANGER BECAUSE JERRY SANDUSKY MOLESTED ME AND JOE AMENDOLA KNEW THIS BUT CONTINUED TO DE FEND JERRY ANYWAY FOR MONEY AND DISREGARDING MY PREVIOUS SEXUAL ABUSE FROMSANDUSKY.
IN 1991, I WAS A PENN ST. FAN ANDI TRAVELED WITH THE FOOTBALL TEAM TO WEST VIRGINIA TO PLAY THE MOUNTAINEERS, AND AT MOUNTAINEER STADIUM IN THE PUBLIC REST ROOM DEFENDANT TOUCHED ME ON MY CROTCH WHILE I WAS URINATING AND KISSED MY RIGHT EAR LOBE AND TOLD ME IF I TELL ANYONE HE IS GOING TO KILL ME. I HAVE BEEN SUFFERING EMOTIONAL DISTRESS SINCE AND I’M ESTRANGED FROM JOE AMENDOLA BECAUSE HE DOES NOT CARE FOR HIS FAMILY AND I’M SCARED SANDUSKY IS GOING TO ASSAULT ME,
I SEEK A RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST HIM.
And Then…
As mysteriously as it appeared, Mr. Amendola faxed a request to withdraw the suit, and the motion was granted.
On June 28th, via fax, Jonathan Amendola filed to withdraw the suit, and it’s dismissal, which was granted by her Honor Judge Keeley.
JONATHAN AMENDOLA,
Plaintiff,
v. CRIMINAL NO. 1:12CV107 (Judge Keeley)
GERALD ARTHUR SANDUSKY, Defendant.
ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO WITHDRAW SUIT [DKT. NO. 4]
On June 28, 2012, the pro se plaintiff, Jonathan Amendola (“Amendola”), moved to withdraw this lawsuit (dkt. no. 4). Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i), a plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court order by filing a notice of dismissal before the opposing party files an answer or a motion for summary judgment. Insofar as the defendant in this case has not yet appeared, the Court GRANTS Amendola’s motion (dkt. no. 4) and ORDERS that this case be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE and STRICKEN from the docket of this Court.
It is so ORDERED.
The Court directs the Clerk of Court to mail a copy of this Order to the pro se plaintiff via certified mail, return receipt requested.
DATED: June 29, 2012
/s/ Irene M. Keeley IRENE M. KEELEY
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Now you see it, now you don’t. Uh, I mean, you still can. Without prejudice and stricken from the docket do make it invisible.
Early fireworks for the Independence Day Celebrations of the Amendola clan?
Or is this suit one of many pranks that appears to be filed by the same idiot who is not aware that receipt numbers for faxes and certified mail are tracked by the USPS and the FBI respectively?
If so, we will be sure to make his acquaintance in the near future facing Federal criminal charges.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ANNOUNCEMENT OF JULY 12 PUBLICATION OF REPORT REGARDING THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY AND PRESS CONFERENCE LED BY JUDGE LOUIS FREEH
Philadelphia, PA, July 10, 2012 – Judge Louis Freeh announced today that his report of the investigation into the facts and circumstances of the actions of The Pennsylvania State University surrounding the child abuse committed by a former employee, Gerald A. Sandusky, will be published online at 9 a.m. EDT on Thursday, July 12. Judge Freeh will also hold a press conference for members of the media at 10 a.m. EDT on the same day to discuss the findings and recommendations in the report. Judge Freeh and his law firm, Freeh Sporkin & Sullivan, LLP, were retained in November 2011 on behalf of the Special Investigations Task Force of the Board of Trustees of The Pennsylvania State University to conduct the independent investigation.
The report will be available as a PDF file at http://www.TheFreehReportonPSU.com. The publication of the report will be the first time anyone outside of Judge Freeh’s investigative team will in any way receive the report, including The Pennsylvania State University Board of Trustees and the Special Investigations Task Force. With the exception of the interim recommendations made by Judge Freeh’s team in January 2012, this will also be the first time the full recommendations will be shared.
A live feed of the press conference will be available to the media through satellite broadcast detailed below. Additionally, a video replay of the press conference will be available to the general public later that day on the same website.

Very curious.

While a significant portion of the work as we acquired it remains unfinished, prepared answers for the Q & A portion of this morning’s press conference include:
* Finding the PSU administration failed to act appropriately while the Board of Trustees failed to create an “environment that demanded proper conduct”
* Finding the firings of former PSU president Graham Spanier and Joe Paterno to be appropriate
* Steadfastly refusing to answer whether or not the commission believed there was a cover-up.
There’s also a note at 9:05 to announce problems with the website at which the report is scheduled to be available, which is curious because it’s not 9:05 yet.

Oh Meh Gawd. If that link locks up in 3, I am going to snit.
If someone is able to pull notes out of the trash, I would be very concerned.

Your remarks about the 4th level definition of sanction is just the reason my kids had a dictionary that weighed twenty pounds. The lightweight Collegiate dictionary just didn’t go far enough. Language is difficult to get succinct meanings unless one clearly understands the various meanings of words. The Oxford dictionay of the English language has been produced on CD & DVD. When the price comes down, I may invest in a set.
I am laughing at Blinks remarks to erose regarding the interchange of the word president to ostrich along with the followup remark about responsibility or in this case the lack thereof.
Based on some information about the early life of JoPa and how he persued excellence in educating himself, it is extremly difficult to believe he suddenly became stupid. Did he make a mistake by turning some of the decision about JS over to the administration? We cannot really know because he is no longer on the planet to speak for himself.
I am getting a bad feeling about some of these reports and the lawyers trying to protect their clients. There is a big question in the publics’ mind regarding the great opportunity of chronyism to raise its head and conceal important information.
I drove through “natures carwash” for about twenty miles last evening East of Austin. It was raining at a 10 inch per hour rate. The road had four to six inches of water on it. I know from experience what a 10 inch per hour rate looks and feels like.
I have read pages 1-8 of the Q&A, and this report does not deal with the the majority of the questions the public wants to know, ie was there a cover up, was the governor neglegent or involved. Some of the questions don’t have answers at this time, but IMO, this is “let’s move on” report. It does blame the administration and supports the BOT (big surprise) firings of Paterno and Spainer, and there ia an obligatory slap on the wrist to the BOT in general, BFD.
I don’t know how anyone could consider this report a whitewash. It blisters PSU and its board for allowing the culture to exist that permitted Paterno and others to protect a child molester. It is a brutal condemnation IMO.
One of the more incredible things to me is that they decided to tell sandusky that he had been seen molesting the child in 2001 without (a) alerting authorities or (b) finding out who the child was. in other words, sandusky was the only one who knew the identity of the child and was warned that he had been seen. That gave him every incentive to threaten, harm or even dispose of the child so he would not be a threat. Any reasonable, good person would have seen this was wrong. Freeh also makes very clear that no one had any concern whatsoever for the victims (or subjects as they called them) at any point before sandusky was arrested.
Agreed. Moving here in advance of filing my piece so comments are in one place:
