The Sandusky Rape Verdict
Published: October 9, 2012
Quote:
The case of Jerry Sandusky over the serial raping of young boys
while a coach in Penn State’s football program ended Tuesday as it began: in denial and delusion.
“In my heart, I know I did not do these alleged disgusting acts,” Mr. Sandusky said
in a call from the jailhouse to the Pennsylvania State radio station Monday night.
“My wife has been my only sex partner, and that was after marriage.”
Mr. Sandusky repeated the gist of that bloodcurdling statement on Tuesday before
Judge John Cleland of the Centre County Court in Pennsylvania, who sentenced him
to 30 to 60 years in prison on 45 convictions of raping, abusing
and assaulting 10 boys over many years.<snip>

“I’m not going to sentence you to centuries,” Judge Cleland said to Sandusky.
“It makes no sense for a 68-year-old man.
This sentence will put you in prison for the rest of your life.”
Judge Cleland added that the case, which shook Penn State and called into question
the role of major college sports on campus, was, in the end, “a story of betrayal.”
“You abused the trust of those who trusted you,” he said.
