May 1998: Sandusky picks up Victim 6 and drives him to Penn State's
campus to work out. During the drive, Sandusky places his hand on Victim
6's left thigh several times. He asks him to shower, even though Victim 6
does not want to. The boy says Sandusky bear-hugged him, washed his back
and picked him up and placed him under the shower head to rinse him off.
Upon returning home, Victim 6's mother notices his hair is wet and calls
university police. The mother has two conversations with Sandusky; A
university police detective and a State College police detective listen in on
both of them, with the mother's consent. Sandusky admits to the mother he
has showered with other boys. She asks him not to do it again. Sandusky
tells the mother, according to the grand jury summary, "I understand. I was
wrong. I wish I could get forgiveness. I know I won't get it from you. I wish
I were dead." Sandusky also admits what he did to a university police
detective and an investigator with the state Department of Public Welfare.
