The child-molesting apple appears to fall not far from the child-molesting tree. Jeffrey Sandusky, son of former Penn State football coach and convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky, was charged with child-sex crimes in Pennsylvania Monday.


According to the New York Daily News, Jeffrey Sandusky is facing 14 counts including “six counts of communicating with a minor for sex and two counts of soliciting child porn, charging documents show.” The younger Sandusky was arraigned and is being held on $200,000 bail.
