Judge John Cleland sentenced Sandusky to ’30 year minimum to 60 years maximum in prison and under Pennsylvania law, Sandusky is not eligible for parole until the minimum 30 years has been served.
Accordng to CBS:
A defiant Sandusky gave a long, rambling statement in which he denied the allegations and talked about his life in prison and the pain of being away from his family.
The 68-year-old former Penn State assistant coach was found guilty in June of 45 counts of child sexual abuse, convicted of molesting 10 boys over a 15-year period. Witnesses said Sandusky used the charitable organization he founded for troubled children as his personal hunting ground to find and groom boys to become his victims.
