Bellefonte, Centre County — A Centre County judge has sentenced former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky to 30-60 years in prison. That’s essentially a life sentence for the 68-year-old.
Yesterday Jerry Sandusky spoke out from behind prison walls, just hours before he would learn his fate. He recorded a statement and then it was given by his lawyer to Penn State student radio. You can read the complete statement below.
Sandusky, the one-time Penn State football defensive coordinator and national title winner is now a convicted child sex molester. A jury convicted him in June of molesting 10 young boys for more than a decade.
David Clohessy is a child sex abuse victim and now speaks out on behalf of all sex abuse victims, many who remain silent for years like he did. “He’s clearly the most high profile predator ever in history. The fact that justice has been done encourages many other victims to come forward and break their silence get help and call the police,” said Clohessy of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests.
