Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky was sentenced this morning to 30 to 60 years in prison for sexually abusing young boys. He also gave a convoluted, rambling statement in court after arriving in his red prison jump suit, visibly thinner, just hours after insisting he was innocent in a defiant audio statement released from prison. Sandusky was sentenced on 45 counts of child sex abuse, his final chapter in a scandal that has rocked the Penn State football program and the university itself.



Sandusky, who coached Penn State's defense for 30 years and ran a charity for troubled children, faced 10 to 400 years.

"A young man who is dramatic and a veteran accuser and always sought attention started everything," Sandusky said in the recorded statement. He vowed to continue fighting "unfairness, inconsistency and dishonesty".

In the statement, Sandusky continued to deny what he called "false allegations." He said his wife Dottie is the only person he's ever had sex with and that he was brought down by a web of conspirators who wanted him convicted. He also blamed his downfall on one of the victims.


The allegations that he raped some of these boys, forcing himself on one in a Penn State locker room shower and another in his own basement, shocked the Penn State community, where Sandusky had been revered in the community. Through his charity, he would take kids to football games, helped them find their way through tough lives and even adopted them.

The late head coach Joe Paterno, arguably the most important figure in modern Penn State history, was fired amid allegations he did not properly report concerns about Sandusky to law enforcement officials. Two other top Penn State officials, athletic director Tim Curley and senior vice president Gary Schultz, have yet to face trial on charges they lied to a grand jury about their knowledge of Sandusky's crimes.
