What kind of man could defend an alleged pedophile? Maybe one who has also been intimate with a youth.
The New York Post shares a report that says Joe Amendola, Jerry Sandusky’s lawyer, impregnated a teenager around 1996 or 1997.
Amendola reportedly was the attorney for Mary Iavasile when she filed for emancipation before turning 17. Iavasile’s mother reportedly told The Daily that’s around the time Mary became pregnant with the first of two chilren she had with Amendola.
Amendola and Iavasile married in 2003 but reportedly have split up.
The legal age of consent in Pennsylvania is 16, so although Amendola’s reported behavior was questionable, it was not illegal.
