Problem is that he will probably enjoy prison and getting butt raped. Bastard needs true discomfort!

Well, I doubt the judge will look favorably upon his blaming the victims and everyone else in the world except himself. I would think being remorseful and heartbroken over what you did would get you a much lighter sentence than denying it all and blaming kids for being molested. But he most likely almost believes it himself...sick.

He looks like a big rabbit, his wife should be right next to him for sentencing.

Bud, you need to learn to read. General wasn't condoning what Sandusky did. He said in prison he'll suffer less than he deserves. In other words, General is saying he deserves a far worse punishment than life in prison. He NEVER said anything about wanting them to be lenient on him, lol. Oy, some people on here I swear. You need to read and UNDERSTAND what someone is saying before you comment and jump all over them with false accusations.

Bud how is General lenient? He will get less than he deserves no matter what the punishment is. Dead already isn't harsh enough. I didn't read in his 2 sentence comment that he was part of the cover-up, he merely made a statement.

Try again there, Bud.

Dear Bud, my short comment suffers in the wrong hands, but if you read the reply by Jaime you'll see that is what I'd have written given more time. Yes, put him to death even - my point was that he would not suffer enough for the horrific things he's done.

BUBBA is waitinggggg on you sweet cheeks

Sexual Abuse of children should be life without parole

This monsters statement yesterday was a joke and filled with lies. He is in denial for his horrible abuse to kids. What a complete jerk. Hope he gets his in prison.

Beware other kid rapists out there in the world. You will get caught and you will be prosecuted and sent to prison.

This is a travesty! He should have gotten the maximum possible sentence - even though he will die in prison most likely this slap on the wrist doesn't send the kind of message that should have been sent to all followers of pedophilia.

Disgusting!

Now there will be appeal after appeal - how much more will this cost the taxpayer?

We can't spend money to take care of our children going hungry but we can spend millions on this asswipe. I for one can not understand this.

boomer; at his age, even the 30 year sentence is a death sentence in jail for the rest of his life.

Hey there big boy, U JUST BECAME MY B!TCH.

I bet he doesn't do the whole sixty.

His punishment will come AFTER he's dead. And HE knows it, and will deserve it.

In the Blue Sky World of Sandusky, he's always shmoozing his way out of trouble. My guess is he fully expected the executive suite in a spa-like setting for a year of R&R. Simple words from him would have worked, in the old world.

In the real world, Sandusky can expect the pleasure of anal reaming, followed by rectal remodeling.

Have fun with that, Jer!

...his wife should be right next to him for sentencing.

Amen. There is no way she didn't know about any of this. The whole thing is disgusting.

Hey Bud....reread the generals comments and stop sounding like a jerk. btw PBgeorgia99...nice shoe!

No harm or "bubba" will come to him as he is a celebrity and will never be released into general population. Ask Jefferey Dahmer what happens in general population.... oh that's right, he was beaten to death. The same would happen to Sandusky if allowed in general..he will simply die a lonely man.

Hey Jerry, remember this song??

Na Na Nah Nah, Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye, so Goodbye you POS....

Why not better the world using Jerry Sandusky instead of just imprisioning him? Free the lab rats and test products on him and all the other pedophiles filling up the prisons. The results will be much more accurate. Jerry himself said that he hopes good can come out of all this....there you go!

A conspirarcy? All those people had to collaborate to get their stories straight, including the victims. Wow, this guy is nuttier than nuts.

And, someone please wipe that arrogant, smug grin off of his face.

Thank you judge. Your 30-60 years sentence on this molester of children amounts to throwing away the key. Good. May Sandusky never see the light of day again.

A few realities for you:

Reality #1- Sandusky will have to be kept in solitary or he'll be killed by the general population, so he'll likely have it better off then common criminals.

Reality #2- Our legislative and judicial systems are quietly pushing punishment to the masses. What do I mean? Our legislators want to be seen as "evolved" and therefore are against the death penalty as it looks/sounds bad. By getting rid of the death penalty they look better in the eyes of their voters and the "world". What they don't tell you is that they very well know that there is an understanding that prison populations have different treatment for new prisoners whom have committed different types of crimes. From what I've heard, if you are a child molester the general population will quickly know of this and they will take it upon themselves to punish you. You can kind of understand this as many of them were abused as kids, many have kids and wouldn't want that happening to their family members, many of them have seen the results of abuse, etc. so they are more likely to act. So the "clean" politicians know that the "dirty" work will be done by someone else. Something not right with that.

On to the Sandusky comment; I've never heard a funnier comment made outside of a politician's mouth. He essentially said that he was wrongly prosecuted by a consipiracy made up from the kids, the University, the Prosecutor's office, the assistant that turned him in, the media, etc. etc. etc. Man, any more people against him and I'd say it was him against the world. Creepy dude. Enjoy your rotting in prison my man.

I am glad that no other children will be exposed to the devastation,nightmares and harm this man has done to so many innocent young victims. It is truly a travesty so many will carry such scars when they should have had to begin with. If only those in positions of power to do something to begin with, had fulfilled their roles and done the right thing. Demonstrating true stewardship to protect those children regardless of the consequences to the image of the school.They not only failed those students, but all the others on that campus and their parents as well.

True pedophile are actually a small percentage of those who molest children and are incapable of being "cured" once they begin their behaviors.The only such mental condition recognized as being incurable. Usually this behavior starts in the teenage years. By the time someone is caught they may have dozens of victims if not more.Often they have placed themselves in positions of trust as well so uncovering the true extend of the damage can be nearly impossible. Others who also sexually abuse children do so because of impulsive opportunity,lack of normal outlet or a history in childhood abuse. People tend to lump everyone who has sexually abused a child as a pedophile which isn't the case.But for true pedophilia, no penalty given would ever deter such an individual as their brains are literally wired differently. Regardless of who the abuser may be, that is why we as a society must inform our children to let us know whenever anyone acts inappropriately towards them no matter WHO THEY ARE! Thank heavens one more molester will never see the light of day.

this equates to 3 years per raped child. This is justice? I am appalled by the lenience. I hope his fellow prisoners give him many years of pain and humiliation. A dose of his own medicine, daily.

What I don't understand, is with all the harm that this man has brought to Penn State and its reputation, why in the he!! would they give him a platform to air his ridiculous defense from his jail cell the other day?

I don't get that, and am most disappointed with the folks at Penn State student radio.

I can't believe that this POS has the nerve to blame everyone but himself by saying there was a "conspiracy" against him. What about the fact that he was actually seen molesting a young boy in the showers? If that hadn't happened, all these other "conspirators" wouldn't be facing charges also. He thinks that they made this up to get themselves in trouble and have to resign from their positions? How stupid does he think everyone is? I can't believe that his attorneys are even bothering to appeal his conviction with as much evidence as they have against him. Fortunately, other inmates REALLY don't like child molesters, so they should put him in with the general population so he gets what he really deserves-to be shanked by some other inmate. Being some big guys b**ch isn't good enough, because like someone else said, he'd probably enjoy it. And what kind of wife stays with someone who rapes little children?

I still think that the death sentence should be mandatory for all child molesters. We have to carry the burden of paying taxes to keep this scum alive for the rest of his life? I would rather see the tax dollars go to the victims and not the criminal.

As for his lawyer, he best think again, if he is looking out for the best interest of his client, he has to know that Sandusky wouldn't last a week out in public.

The sentence is long enough to ensure he'll rot in prison 'til he dies.

Here's to hoping he finds a domineering boyfriend in prison--if he hasn't already. I'll bet he doesn't like it.

He will truely find out the meaning of "ABUSED."

Now if the 10 different adult guys who sexually abused me during the 1960s and 1970s could get half that much time I could be happier too! Just think, like a couple of Jerry victims, I told the cops twice, but I wasn't believed, and those guys to my knowledge are still out there today too, doing who knows what, though one of them has photos of himself on Facebook still running teenage boys on the same weekend outings where he abused me back in 1970, which makes me wonder how many victims that there are now too?

Sadly he will probably be out of prison in 5 years. Even though he should NEVER be allowed to go free. They will find some stupid technicality to set him free after his appeals are exhausted.

does it make you even sicker to know that adults who sell marijuana to another adult, serve MORE time than Sandusky? (no victim there). We have our morals mixed up. Sandusky committed the worst of crimes. There were many child victims. We need to change the laws to protect our defenseless children. Prison is a revolving door for molesters, while drug offenses get the 2nd most time next to murder. Victimless crimes should go unpunished, period. Fill the prisons who victimized children & keep them there. That's morals.

Penn State football won their victories by hard work and you can't take that away from the students that earned them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sandusky had a hard-on for little boys and some freaks out there have a hard-on for the Penn State football program ... Sandusky will spend life and the latter need to get a life .............

I'm with outragedat this, 30-60 years is a slap in the face 2 the victims! This is justice?

And I do have 1 question:

If this POS is in solitary, how exactly is he going 2 "get his" in General Population?

("POS" is really 2 good 4 him but I'm not coming up with anything better.)

Under State Law he was given the "maximum" sentence for his crimes. The "Death Penalty" is reserved for those who commit murder. Personally I feel that in many cases, rape or pedophilia, is actually worse than killing someone and should carry the "Death Penalty".

But in all fairness the Judge, with his hands tied by the law, sentenced Sandusky to the absolute maximum sentence that he could under current laws and also sentenced him in a way that he will never breathe the air of a free man.

NO LESS THAN 30 YEARS, means just that. No Parole, No Time Off for good behaviour, No Plea bargaining for reduced sentencing by admitting guilt. No less than 30 years you evil POS. The No More Than 60 Years is just to be PC and to not appear to be vendictive in his Judgement.

Mark my words. Sandusky WILL DIE IN LESS THAN FIVE.

"Under State Law he was given the "maximum" sentence for his crimes."

I have another question. And I'm not attacking, just curious. R U saying that the 400 years that has been tossed around is just an Internet thing?

(Really, not attacking, just trying 2 understand.....)

Sandusky is going to a place where “same sex” is an accepted form of behavior. A lifestyle and behavior now sanctioned and revered in America by countless others outside of prison. I have a hard time finding that just punishment for his crimes.

Wonder what he thinks now; "Is Sandusky's claim true?; that he is innocent"? He'll be getting plenty of showers pushed up against the walls of his cell or during excercise for 15 minutes. Actually, he most likely will be killed in Prison. The Slammer community doesn't like child molesters, because most of them come from backgrounds where they were sexually abused.

"What comes around, goes around".

The Justice System needs to get ALL known Pedophiles locked up in prison forever---no Safe House, or putting them in residential neighborhoods, to find later that your child has been kidnapped, and found dead.

I am thankful for his sentence. I am heartbroken that there will be another to take his place. Society is full of them... believe the children. Give them safe space to be able to speak of such abuses. Teach them from the onset of the wickeds some people are willing to do. And as a society, burn those that do such things to innocent children slowly at the stake. I've heard of several in the county in which I live plead down to intense probation, no prison time, and no registration on the DPS website. Sick. We can't put up with this. They are doing lifelong damage to some. I believe the abuser should pay with a lifetime.

Sandusky is going to prison because he sexually abused children. As far as I am concerned, he deserves a lot more than 30-60 years, and the punishment will NEVER fit the crime. Now, as for the rest of your comment, do NOT try to equate what two consenting adults of the same sex do in their lives to what Sandusky did. It's not even in the same ballpark. It is 'acceptable' for two consenting adults and if you don't like it, stay out of their lives.

newscover, you're the one who needs to get a life. No one, absolutely no one, has sympathy for Penn State or their football program.

Don't forget, they (Penn State student radio) just gave this POS a platform to go on the air and blame the victims, the school, other schools, god, and everyone else but himself for what happened to him.

Penn State, and the men who were in charge, share equally in this tragedy. They fought harder to protect their football program, than they did the victims.

They made their choice, and picked football over the children. I have no sympathy for them.

"A lifestyle and behavior now sanctioned and revered in America by countless others outside of prison."

Besides this POS & others like him, who says that pedophilia is acceptable?

I still think that the death sentence should be mandatory for all child molesters. We have to carry the burden of paying taxes to keep this scum alive for the rest of his life? I would rather see the tax dollars go to the victims and not the criminal.

It costs far more to execute criminals than it does to keep them alive in prison. There are fates worse than death, anyway. Spending the rest of your days in solitary confinement is one of them. He's got maybe 10-15 years left if you use the average life expectancy in the United States (78 yrs) as your baseline. He will die alone and disgraced, and it will be far cheaper for the tax payers. Sounds good to me.

I just got off the phone with Bubba. For a pack of cigarettes and snickers bar he assures me the next slap-slap-slapping sounds Jerry will be involved with will be as Bubba's prison bride.

Hard to believe that he even gives Catholic Priests a bad name.

@ U don't say-3994780

Good question. A 400 year sentence could very well have been laid down. In fact there are people currently serving sentences of 200 years, 160 years, and more in Pennsylvania prisons. If each crime were taken into account individually, 400 years or more could have been on the line. But the way the Grand Jury handed down the Indictment and how the District Attorney Prosecuted the case the 30 to 60 was the max. The GJ indicted Sandusky on several counts as we all know, but the DA took what they felt would get a conviction and ran with that. Otherwise the case would still be going on today.

Prosecuting the case collectively allowed the DA to ask for a "no less than" sentence. If they had done each count one by one and got convictions on every single count then each count would be subject to parole, reduction, and/or early release. Therefore, 400 years in todays prisons could have turned out to be 20 years or less given his age and this being his first conviction.

NO LESS THAN 30 YEARS, is in affect a Death Sentence by Incarceration. Because some States that hand out a "Life Sentence" the convict may serve less than 20 years. Now that's ridiculous.

The wife should also be investigated. She knew what was going on.

Old Timer: if your abuser has gotten away with it here, trust me when I say when he dies, he'll have to answer--and will pay!

I say always believe a child--even when we think we're making a mistake. Adults can recover far more quickly.

@ DevlsAdvacut,

Thanx 4 clearing that up 4 me.

And concerning your last sentence: U R right, that IS ridiculous.

Also, I agree with the poster who mentioned pot smokers getting multi-decade sentences.....

If they R not dealing, just smoking, Y such a large sentence? It's just pot......

people please, this is not breaking news. this sentencing happened 3 or 4 months ago and it was on the news 3 or 4 months ago. NBC how bout some news that hasn't already been put out there. Keep up with the times.

30-60 years for raping and abusing 10 boys?

That only 3-6 years for each life he destroyed!

C'mon judge, who cares if he dies tomorrow this is NOT the message we want to give to pedophiles!!!!!

I have 1 more comment, this 1 concerning the redheaded coach that supposedly saw this POS with the boy in the shower:

U need 2 die your hair AND change your name; U R making the Irish look bad. Coward.

Oops-that should B "dye".

people please, this is not breaking news. this sentencing happened 3 or 4 months ago and it was on the news 3 or 4 months ago. NBC how bout some news that hasn't already been put out there. Keep up with the times.

Christie I believe you are confused. The jury delivered the guilty verdict a few months ago (in June)--but the sentencing happened today.

I wanted to write JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED but that is hardly the truth. Sundusky most likely does not know how many boys he raped. But remember Jeffery Dahmer? He was murdered in prison. I assume he was in solitary confinement, as well. It does not matter how many years Sundusky received, he will get is just due.

There are several young men in this world who have suffered at his hands. And for all those at Penn State who looked the other way, they too, will meet with their own demons.

Christie: He was convicted of the crimes several months ago. He was just sentenced for them today. That's why this is a news story...hopefully, the final article that is published before his death.

Bend over Sandusky, the big boys are coming over to play.

In a moment of sanity, when he relived his life and might have felt a guilt, in his twisted mind he knew for a moment he hurt those boys. Then he slipped back into Jerry and blasted the media, victims, University and the system for hurting him. A narcissist and multiple personality disorder at its finest.

Christie, apparently you don't understand the judicial system.

OldTimer-88224, I am so sorry for your personal experience. I had a similar experience, and found out that the many years of torturous, near total insomnia I suffered as a result of it didn't count for anything when I got ahold of a few sleeping pills without a valid prescription. The law came down HARD on me. They couldn't care less about the perps I named. All they cared about was what I had done to get a sleeping pill. They absolutely DESTROYED everything I had worked for in my life. Destroyed my family's life. Destroyed me. Sometimes I wonder if what the law even stands for.

Christie what are you talking about? The guy was found guilty months ago but he was given his sentence TODAY. Maybe you're the one who needs to really read things and keep informed.

THERE IS A GOD!

"You had the chance to plead guilty and spare us the testimony," he said. "Rather than take the accountability, you decided to try to attack us as if we had done something wrong."

Typical of that type. What I don't understand is why this poss is able to use Penn State radio station to make accusations on Penn State?

They are not always kept away from general population. Guards have ways of making things happen. He might be protected for a while but it will catch up to him.

He made that announcement on Penn State radio???? WTF???

To everyone upset about the "light" sentence, it is effectively life in prison. He cannot, for any reason whatsoever, get out before 30 years. He is 68. I dont think prison life helps too much for people to live long lives. Also, he probably wont live that long. Inmates will be dying to get to him and rape and kill him. Not even the scum of society accepts child rapists.

To the people on these boards who were abused, I am sorry for your pain.

And if anyone here believes in an afterlife, I dont care what faith you follow, this guy is going to the bad place, whatever it may be.

He should have make-up tattooed on his face as well, and the frank & beans removed as well.

Punch someone from Penn State today. That whole school should be removed from existence.

I didn't follow the trial. What was being said was to unbelievable and to disgusting. I did see the different accusations and reports on different testimony however. It still wasn't believable. How could so many instances of sexual abuse continue for so many years without coming to light? I know I heard all about the "cover-up" but how could you continue a cover-up if any one of the victims had came forward? You couldn't. Some-thing just doesn't add up. After ALL these years SUDDENLY one comes forward and brings it to "light" and then they all come BOLDLY forward. It still doesn't add up!And now law suits against the school. How much do they hope to get? If he truly is guilty I have no sympathy he got what he deserves but there is definitely a veil over this conviction. And as for the comments I've read....most are not worth reading. All they do is spew out bias and hatred and personal twisted opinions and lack of intelligence.

This POS PEDOPHILE is found guilty of 45 counts of child sexual abuse and only gets 30-60 years? WTH? At the minimum that's only 8 months for each count, at the maximum it's only 16 months. This is NOT enough justice for his victims! The punishment definitely does NOT fit the crimes. The very idea that this POS is trying to get anybody to believe that this is all a conspiracy is ridiculous, and Penn State should be ashamed for allowing their radio station to air his denial of guilt.

Firstly I don't believe there is half as much "rape" in prisons as reported especially of older prisoners like Sandusky. If anything it's the Sandusky's meting it out rather than "getting it". But in Jerry's case he'll be a senile 98 year old (if he should live that long) before gaining exit. Most likely will perish in prison. Fitting if he contracts AIDS and waste's away. Good riddance to another piece of garbage.

Oddly enough, I actually feel sorry for the guy. And at first I didn't think I would. He's severly mentally ill and desperately needed help, which he never got. So delusional in fact that he was never able to conceive of even the slightest possibility that this might come to light one day.

It's a shame all the way around - and now there's hell to pay. I think that ANYone who does harm to someone else, let alone to defenseless children Should have hell to pay.

No one likes to see a 68 year-old man get sentenced to 30 years of torture and having to defend his life daily, but hopefully it will serve as a major red flag to those who would seek to use their positions of authority and trust to abuse children - that eventually it WILL catch up with you.

2 to the chest 1 to the head this PoS should not live off my tax dollars for the next 30yrs.

I can't feel sorry for him.

I was also raped as a kid and most of my peers have over time killed themselves slowly with drugs and alcohol or faster ways. I myself have disorders I must live with due to the rape.

First it's the pedophile that hurts you .. then the general population goes in for the kill. You are looked on as different and somehow dirty.

It's not a life. That's why so many of my peers are not with us anymore. RIP

Sandusky is getting exactly what he deserves .. and Penn State needs to be shut down.

Wow, he is obviously innocent... he told you that himself. We should not judge lest we be judged. How could we possibly incarcerate another innocent man? It is a criminal conspiracy to punish this poor old man who served his state so well.

We ain't buying none of it, go sell it somewhere else... you perv.

What is 30-60 years? Pick one.

Ignoring the Nancy Grace crowd who think we still live in the aRoman days where people are thrown to the lions....Think a minute here. Supposing this guy is innocent! Fact is there is not one witness anywhere that actually saw this man particpate in anything illegal and the only one who even came close to saying he saw something was discredited by the jury who did not even believe his story. Each and every"witness" was one who said they were abused. Each had something to gain and if you think they did not have access to each other look at the Syracuse case. Now I am not in the least defending this guy if he actually did it but the Syracuse thing bothered me a bit and the fact that a guy who knew he was under suspicion of doing something unheard of would take a chance and have sex with one of his victims in an open place on the college grounds is mystifying to me. But hey they got their pound of flesh and he is going to jail for the rest of his life but as I said before what if .......

3 hots & a cot, heating and A/C, no worry about Obamacare and plenty of sex. No nagging old lady, Guess he got what he wanted.

I kinda doubt he will live even a year. Unless they keep a guard on him 24/7 someone in the prison will take care of him.

Oldtimer88224,
First, I am so sorry for your pain. Can you still report this "guy" now? Is it like murder which can be re-opened at any time? Or at least they could look into what he's doing?

This guy has seen his last day of freedom.

Jerry did not have sex with those young boys, he was just showing them how to take one for the team.

Jerry is now the young boy on his new team.

So to the ones out there that think he "might just might be innocent", that is just false. I believe he did those things and truly believe he knew it was going to come to an end at some time. When he first was being arrested his face just showed resignation all over and he just looked way way too calm to be Innocent. He is getting what he deserves though I wish we would bring back the chain gang days and such so at least our tax paying dollars could be slightly earned back. As for not reporting it and then all reporting at once. Imagine this.......... you are molested by a very very powerful man/ woman in your life, one who is likely your one way ticket to an amazing school, "life of riches" and whatever else he/she tells you. Now you know what just happened is wrong but this person is the all powerful one that controls your destiny, as well as you are just theoretically a broken or troubled family, home, or kid and who would believe you over the person that is a father figure in your life and a very rich and powerful man back in those days compared to you. Who would believe you? your family maybe, your friends maybe, but no one that matters would give you the time of day. They would all think you were trying to get one over on this "amazing person" and might even charge you with a crime. Hmmmm. now this sounds like you might have a chance of reporting this......or not. So now this guy that did these things gets taken down and you hear about it, wouldnt it be much easier to have someone believe you now than when you would have just been laughed at or told you were crazy? I would think yes and I would then tell someone that mattered and could get that Horrible person for DESTROYING MY/YOUR/THEIR LIFE. That is why I believe they all reported around the same time because when one came foward it gave the others courage to step forward as well. As for the Syracuse thing I believe That was a cover up and the assistant coach payed off his accusers to recuse what they accused him of. Thats what they said was their motive from what I remember hearing and I believe he just payed them off to say those things and then moved on with his life. What happened at Penn State I truly believe has happened or is still happening at other places where these people like Sandusky can take advantage of their FATHER FIGURE STATUS.

The other people that have indicated that they have had similar experiences try again to tell an authority figure in this current age as authorities have come to know that these things do happen and do take it seriously. If not I one day hope they get whats coming, if it doesnt happen then hopefully I am rich enough one day to put bounties on these people for you, then we all can just wait for the good news, or at least somewhat good news.

Bud, you need to learn to read.

That's the right on, you said it all.

Bud learn to read! Speak-a da English!

The very thought, of the guy in that pick, doing the nasty to kids is beyond disgusting. It's enough to make one want to barf...

Sadly, some are probably right, he won't be released into the general population, and even if he had, what this sick-o-phant deserves couldn't be delivered by a prison in the US. Life in a Russian jail, where he receives the sort of treatment the Russians would give to their prisoners is more in line with what that pedo deserves...

In my local news in Virginia, a woman got sentenced to 22 years (she is 39) for sexting a 16 year old boy that was in her class. I cannot believe that happened! 22 years for sending pictures of her boobs to a boy? This case here is all about money, status and power. Evidently the teacher didn't have a very good lawyer. Just makes me sick, there wasn't any physical contact(supposedly)

What good would that do? If he really believes he is innocent and it's everyone else's fault he might pass the test.

I agree with ram. A polygraph will do no good if he truly believes he's innocent. It would either come back inconclusive or in his favor. The only time they even kind of work is when a person is guilty and they know their guilty and trying to cover it up....that's what causes the changes in the body that register on the test. If he thinks he's innocent, his body will react as such and make the polygraph worthless.

Last I herd he was found guilty

It is possible that Sandusky could pass a lie detector test because people like him actually believe their own lies

people like him

people animals like him

There. Fixed it.

People convince themselves things are true all the time. A polygraph is pointless. His comments are typical of the majority of people convicted of similar crimes. They deny and blame the victims. It's all good though, people of his age don't do well in prison. He'll die of a heart attack within a year or 2 in solitary confinement.

You don't get it Stevo. Polygraphs mean nothing. Psychopaths like Sandusky pass polygraphs all the time. If you truly believe you've done nothing wrong...and you care nothing about other people...then polygraphs mean nothing. Psychopaths and Sociopaths beat polygraphs all the time. I believe that all the extensive evidence against him proves his guilt.

No Woodie. Animals don't go around raping their young.... animals are MUCH better than he is.

PEOPLE PEOPLE !!!!!

I DON'T THINK HE'S INNOCENT !!!! OK? DENIAL..? YES !!!

Masterminds, pathological liars , physiologists...CANT PASS POLYGRAPHS !!! What makes u people think a careless, stupid looking molester can?

If polygraphs didn't work investigators wouldn't use them folks..

ARE WE ALL GOOD NOW ??

Polygraphs have been proved to be inaccurate on many occasions, so he could possibly pass it.

@portia

?????? really??? I think he's guilty, but keep in mind ..jurys make mistakes.. RE: The PIG Case Anthony!

Woodie....sorry, but I think it is better the original way. You don't see animals doing what this guy did.

A few years in a cell with a few of those big old boys that have been in solitary a long time might give him a better understanding of why he is in there

ACtually Steveo polygraphs are NOT allowed as evidence in trial because they are NOT infallable. So really read up on what polygraphs are all about before saying that it's a definitive help in determining if someone is guilty or innocent........because it's not.

ACtually Steveo polygraphs are NOT allowed as evidence in trial because they are NOT infallable.

You can defeat the polygraph pretty easily by clenching your butt when answering every question. Or at least render it useless.

i know people who have lied and passed them.

Stevo:

If polygraphs didn't work investigators wouldn't use them folks..

My rebuttal is: If polygraphs were infallible, they would be admissible as evidence. A very nervous individual taking a polygraph could fail while telling the truth. A calm sociopath with no feelings of remorse or guilt could lie and pass.

Stevo: knock it off. The man is guilty. Boldfacing everything you type doesn't make you any more credible. You don't know anything the rest of us don't know. So just shut up.

He mei PASS , He probably belives his Lies

I'm sure he really doesn't think he did anything wrong. That's the problem of a sick mind. It was a conspiracy, turning himself into a victim. If he didn't do those things where the advocates for him? People that he mentored who would stand up and say "wait a minute, this guy did this for me, was this for me, and never touched me?" I didn't see anyone come to stand up for him.

I totally agree. How about "HIS DOTTIE" who knew what was going on in her home and ignored it, or was a sicko too, and enjoyed hearing about all his disgusting encounters? Did they adopt because of infertility or his perverted choice of sexual partners?

The child molester will always deny what he did. I was molested by my uncle for many years and he asked me for forgiveness but he denies it to others and the family. So, as long as there are lawyers, people will always deny their crimes.

Fred: there are many like us (me included) that have lived through the lies. My father (yes FATHER) still believes he did nothing wrong ever to any of us. What's the old expression.... Tell a lie long enough, it becomes the truth. At least to them.

As for this jackrump, well, there's a special place in hell with reservations for people like him. I know, made one myself ;-

Same here. My mom just tried to sweep in under the rug after I told her what had happened to me by my own father. My brother had fought a long battle against cancer at the age of 18, after he passed, I guess the guilt of what my father had done to him slowly destroyed him, but not before he turned on me. (I was 16). My mom just said he was stressed out due to my brother dying the horrible way that he did. Why would a dying son make someone want to sexually abuse your teenage daughter. Hopefully these young men will learn ways to get through this. I'm 46 now-I have good days.

You earned your good days, Seewhat. I hope you enjoy them.

Spot on sig! Conspiracy? All those boys were a part of the conspiracy? Spanier, Curley, and Schultz all face separate trials because of it?? Come on man! For once in your miserable existence, man up, take the credit, and at least go to prison having come clean about what sick acts you have done! Conspiracy? OMG, too freaking sick!

"After the hearing, Amendola alluded to that theory, alleging that there was "an undercurrent" in some parts of state government to bring down Penn State because of the power Paterno had amassed in 46 years as head football coach."

Marginalizing the suffering of the victims....how low can one be?

Eloquently put sig. I'd have just called him dead meat for the other prisoners.

Look at this in another light. In addition to pedophilia Jerry Sandusky has exhibited most of the red flags of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, maybe a sociopath also. They are the height of selfishness, obsessed with themselves, and take advantage of others to reach their own goals. They can't take criticism, are jealous and require constant attention. There is no empathy. Spouses and children are possessions.

People like this can appear to be normal because they exhibit that which they know others expect, they are very good at it. I know; I've had to deal with a few like this. They get caught in lies and deceit and get mad because you aren't supposed to figure it out (you can't be that smart).

Everyone is out to get them (conspiracy), and it's everyone else's fault - even the victims. They never admit to doing anything wrong; they are privileged VIPs. They convince themselves nothing ever happened. He's not crazy, he knows right from wrong, he just thinks wrong is ok for him because he's special. Oops! He got caught, didn't he?

The judge sentenced him to thirty to sixty years in prison. You need to go back and read the article. Actually read the title of the article.

Yes, Julie - Sandusky will never be forgiven. Firstly, I don't think anyone could "forgive" him, do you? He believes his own lies and can't understand why no one else will. He will never admit to himself what he did, let alone admit it to the world. He can't understand why it was wrong. After all, he's hidden from his own horrible acts for some fifty odd years. He is frantically trying to hide it again.

What's hard to believe is Penn State radio allowing him on the air and his attorneys allowing him to give such hair-brained excuses. Again, he is not crazy. His brain is wired wrong, born or developed without conscience. His self-interest knows no bounds; everything was all about him. But that's far from being crazy under the law.

bet he gets 25-life......wont matter at his age ....any other guesses lets have a pool.............

This man is A pedophile!!! Lying and being in denial is Part of his sick and twisted mind. There is no room on this earth for Beings like this. He's just upset that he got caught and that's it. He will never change. You can lock him up, torture him, and the second he get's a chance to continue his pedophile ways he will! How about Taking him and all those sick Pedophiles put them on a plane and fly to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and push all their sorry asses out!! It would be a better and more productive use of our tax dollars. Look in the mirror Jerry what you'll see is a sick being not a person looking back, you are what you are!

Yes, HELL is forever and it's exactly where he will be. He's a very twisted sick egotistical inhuman old ugly disgusting creature. I will not refer to him as a MAN as he's nothing of what a true MAN should be!

Good for you Red_Cloud. And that matters why?
Do you feel the need to put others in their place just because they believe something you do not?

If so you are already on the journey to be as much of a hypocrite as most of the Religious Wrongs who are ruining our Country! Thank you.

They should have made it 400 years, if for nothing else but for the peace of mind of those kids. He got off too light.

Hope he does keep his lips together in prison, I'm sure plenty of the guys would have a mouthful for him. He looks like he swallows.

Kim you're cute

Dont believe the cycle will ever end. What are these "victims" going to be doing to small animals and innocent children in another 10 to 15 years? I don't even want to entertain the thought! I feel sorry for the children that are these people's future victims, whomever they may be/

chriscrossing,you're kidding right?!

Not at all, it seems like a set up. Then again it may not. As of now i'm still leaning towards set up.

So you mean to say that all of these people have gotten together and made this BIG plan to make Sandusky look guilty, while all along someone else did this? What about the victims? Were they in someway coaxed into saying all of this too? Have you had your mental health checked recently? Old boy got caught. Plain and simple. NO conspiracy. None at all.

On what basis? What facts lead you to say that?

@chriscrossing--

What evident leads you to the conclusion that this is a set up?

Well that he had a honest face, and has not once changed his remarks of innocence, and the boys came from a program for troubled teens. But the way he has been tried and convicted, there have been innocent convicted this way and put on death row, or killed and then they were found out to be innocent.

An honest face?????? Wonder if he put on that honest face when he was raping boys in the shower or in his own home. Get over yourself. Hey! I know! Maybe you could be an advocate for Jerry while he is in prison! You know, send him letters, save up enough bus fare to go and visit him. I bet he would love for you to see his honest face in person.

The truth hurts; i would answer you but looking at your history you like to just stirr the pot.

chris, he had a goofy grin until convicted, an honest face? Really? I guess that's what the kids he betrayed thought before he got his hands on them. This man is NOT innocent. There was a witness by God! A witness who should have beat his ass and called the cops instead of telling Paterno. Why would these victims go through what they have been through just to set up somebody with what you call an honest face? Is that your defense for him? Maybe you are a child molester. Sick. If you knew the truth why in hell did you not come forward at trial? What? Oh, you didn't? You have sent an innocent to jail if you knew the truth and didn't speak up. You are sick and twisted. Hope you don't have access to children.

You can't argue with the honest face test... it's foolproof! /s

@ Chris........

I was in a children's home in the 60's as a kid.....I was molested....I told my mom.....she approached the social worker about it....the reply she got...."Well he's a troubled young boy, what would you expect?"

So in your opinion if it's a troubled kid then it's OK to molest them? Do you think that will make them any less troubled?

In conclusion.........FU ASSH*LE

Chris is a troll

set up? by who? someone wanted to take down the Penn State athletics so they concocted this? wow.. this is what reality tv has done to us

Really Chris-we have found someone as stupid as Jerry Sandusky! It sounds to me like molesters stick together no matter what?

I think chriscrossing is another pedophile.... only pedophiles stands up for other pedophiles. chris is one of those people who always blames everyone else for his/her problems. Sad and pathetic.

I was moslested for 13 years of my childhood, I can sniff out a pedophine so easily. This is one sick bastard that needs to rot in hell. He does not have an "innocent" face, he is the poster child of a pedophile! Those who think he has done nothing wrong, have no heart. There is nothing innocent about this guy...NOTHING!! I suppose you think Catholic Priests are innocent, too? I despise people who don't take a step back and consider the allegations when it comes to child molestation, rape and incest. The rule of thumb should always be to believe the victim (guilty until proven innocent). The victim always seems to be the one who suffers the most under these circumstances...during and after the crime has been committed!! Walk in their shoes; how would you react if it was your son or daughter? My mother paid the price for 18 years for not believing me. I walked away from the family for 18 years. Only after the perp admitted to it did she realize she was wrong for not believing her daughter (sick with Cystic Fibrosis, straight "A" student, always afraid of people, and too shy).

Sounds like he is being set up, the question is who is he being sacrificed for? and why?

@crisscrossing

It's doesn't appear to me that any one is buying into your set-up theory.

Chris, they had vmails and letters that Sandusky left for some kids. A lot of what was in those was too creepy for a mentor to say to someone they are supposedly helping. I have never heard of any councelor, mentor, teacher, etc., tell the kids they are trying to help that they love them, can't stop thinking about them, or anything else that crosses the line. You hear mentors say they care for the kids they are trying to help and they express concern for their wellbeing, but never have I heard any of them say the things that Sandusky did. Did you forget that his adopted son was to testify? He had been molested by Sandusky and he was ready to step in as a surprise witness if Sandusky and his lawyers continued to the way they were in the trial. Just because someone has an honest face and continues to claim innocence doesn't mean anything. There are thousands of criminals out there who do the same thing and evidence is found that they are guilty. What evidence you put forth that this was a set up has no place as you are basing it off of what you saw and no real evidence of the kids getting together to plot this. If you can come up with video, audio, written evidence showing that this was a conspiracy, then gather what you have and give it to authorities. But if you have nothing, then your claims to this being a set up is a joke and it's a sad one at that.

"banal self-delusion completely untethered from reality." chriscrosser, there you go. Perfect description of Sandusky and you.

Chrisceossing you are an idiot...

Sandusky guilty? YES! Have we gotten to the whole truth of who covered up what, and for how long, and for what reasons? I don't think so.

I am willing to bet that the conspiracy goes a lot deeper than the public will ever be aware, and that those others who were involved in this sordid situation are doing everything they can to make the entire blame fall on Sandusky, Paterno, and the three PSU administrators who have not yet faced trial.

@Julie and all others who have been molested as children - What you went throught was terrible. Even worse, when you tried to tell someone about it you were denied any help. Any adult who turns the other way from claims of child abuse and allows it to continue should go to jail too. Then maybe those enablers would get a backbone and do something about it. Like a number of people have said, why isn't Sandusky's wife being charged with anything? People who live with pedophiles know what's going on, and so did the guys who worked with Sandusky.

now this is the type of evidence I'd expect to see for a child molester! Several testimonials, victims and a cover up. Remember sexually abusing children is not a random one time event. It is a sickness with a sustained history.

I'd be willing to bet, he never had sex with an adult male in his life. But if we studied pedophiles while they are locked away from society, I'll bet we could learn a lot about why they are what they are and maybe prevent it from happening in the first place. If his situation runs true to form, he probably was abused as a child himself. He may have no memory of it or he may and think that it was OK for him to be abused, therefore it is OK for him to abuse...even though he may believe that it is affection or love and not wrong. It's a screwed up world. They are out there and we must try our best to protect our children and grandchildren. Youth counselors, Sunday school teachers, coaches, teachers, priests...and the list is endless. KNOW where your kids are, who they are with, and what is going on. Listen to them; watch for signs that something is wrong. Maybe, just maybe someday, this will be a thing of the past that we look back on and say, "How the hell did we let that happen?"

Chris, this isn't about homosexuals, so you can drop that. This is about pedophiles.

The majority of pedophiles are heterosexual.

Chris have you been under a freaking rock? Sichuan is correct. Do some reading, learn something. Why else would you defend this lowlife piece of Sh*t if you weren't one yourself? There is no math to do here except add up how many years this pedophile will get in prison. Do that math. Go lol somewhere else.

Just a opinion only so don't be mad, i have gay friends and i totally respect them.

Sandusky = BORN THAT WAY!!!

chris, pedophilia is about the AGE of the victim and not the sex of the victim. It's also about control. Pedophiles don't follow traditional homosexual or heterosexual rules. Their brains don't work like that. People have even gone so far as to label pedophilia as a distinct sexual orientation in and of itself. The majority of pedophiles are heterosexual men (I think it's around 95%) who are attracted to prepubescent children. All you have to do is look it up, but I guess you know better than everyone else who has actually worked with and studied these people in depth. Heck, there are even police detectives that have worked at catching this sickos, and they will tell you the same thing.

up to half of all males who live a homosexual lifestyle were in some way at some time abused.

behavior is a choice.

PB you seem to know alot about pedophiles! hmmmmm? I myself want every pedophile locked up and key thrown away, but i still am not sure this is not a set up, just my opion that's all.

This sick S.O.B. and his wife should BOTH be sentenced to live in prison. And well all know that the bastard will burn in hell. God is going to make him pay dearly!!!

Chriscrossing, you are an idiot. Molesting children isn't about gender, it's about age and power. As several have said, the majority of child molesters are heterosexual. You DO realize that he is married, right?

Chris is a troll. DON'T FEED THE TROLL!

This is a typical pedophile remark since in their sickness they believe the assault was consensual. It is also common for a wife to deceive herself about her husbands activities even when she can hear a child screaming for help in her basement. Unless the basement was soundproofed and it wasn't she had to hear them and should be tried for complicity.

I agree Sharon! She should also be tried and sentenced-both of them (she and her husband) are very sick people, and they will both burn in Hell for this. Shame on the school for covering it up so long for the sake of the almighty dollar! They're getting their comeuppance now!

Chriscrossing: really? Oh I have gay friends... but pedophiles are homosexual... really?

You know why this is happening more and more and more? Well it really isn't happening with anymore frequency than it did, it's just with modern instant media - we all know about it. It is that there is no real consequence (sans jail) for anything anyone does or says. It's all PC you know. To be politially correct you cannot correct anyone. They are always right, always pandered to. There is no apparent boundaries, no required self control - why have it? Kids don't get taught that, so why should I deny myself.....etc etc. You see it everywhere.... I want I want I want - so I'll get and get and get mines while I can.

Chris, REALLY? Any parent with any sense will educate themselves to protect their children. I do know what I know about pedophiles from scientific studies which I have read. You, too, if you could read, could educate yourself. Yes, and hmmmmmm? to you too @!$%#. Your time is coming, you will be caught too. I can tell by your "crying set-up" you are a Sandusky sympathizer which you could only (also) be a pedophile yourself. YOU are sick. I think I smell Paterno burning right now.

Do some research RIGHT now Chriscrosser if you still think this is a set-up. It's public record. See if you can get some face time with his victims, I doubt you could. Form a dam opinion instead of a suspicion. There's a difference. You stand for nothing.

What is wrong with you, chris? Why are you so focused on that word? He is a pedophile.

RAM....i am surprised at you, you know crisscross ( just as his name implies) only serves to troll...

IA i would answer you but due to your history your a pot stirrer, sorry not worth my time. we all have the God given right to our opinion so please don't be mad just take it as a opinion, right or wrong.

@Chris. It's ok to come out of the closet, sweetheart.

he was either 'born that way' or behavior is a choice.

duh.

Chiscrossing,

Hate to burst your bubble, but the vast majority of pedophiles are heterosexual in their adult lives and relationships, not gay. The pedophilia is for kids, some perfer female, some male. But the one thing they pretty much all have in common is that they're overwhelmingly heterosexual.

Pedophilia and child molestation are used in different ways,
even by professionals. Pedophilia usually refers to an adult psychological
disorder characterized by a preference for prepubescent children as sexual
partners; this preference may or may not be acted upon. The term
hebephilia is sometimes used to describe adult sexual attractions to
adolescents or children who have reached puberty.

Whereas pedophilia and hebephilia refer to psychological propensities, child
molestation and child sexual abuse are used to describe actual sexual
contact between an adult and someone who has not reached the legal age of
consent. In this context, the latter individual is referred to as a
child, even though he or she may be a teenager......

Another problem related to terminology arises because
sexual abuse of male children by adult men² is often referred to as "homosexual
molestation." The adjective "homosexual" (or "heterosexual" when a man abuses a
female child) refers to the victim's gender in relation to that of the
perpetrator. Unfortunately, people sometimes mistakenly interpret it as
referring to the perpetrator's sexual orientation.

To avoid this confusion, it is preferable to refer to men's sexual abuse of
boys with the more accurate label of male-male molestation. Similarly, it
is preferable to refer to men's abuse of girls as male-female
molestation. These labels are more accurate because they describe the sex of the
individuals involved but don't implicitly convey unwarranted assumptions about
the perpetrator's sexual orientation.

The article also goes on to explicitly dispell the pedophile is always gay BS. I suggest you read it and try to educate yourself.

Oh, and BTW, one of the BIG molestation problems now highlighted is with the Boy Scouts. And they BANNED gays, remember?
http://psychology.ucdavis.edu/rainbow/html/facts_molestation.html

Chris you seriously need to shut up.

Here's a question for you chris. That is if you really wish to speak logically and not just pull crap out of your ass. WHY is there a conspiracy? WHY would Penn State go along with all of this. Everything that has come about from Sandusky being tried and found guilty has done nothing but hurt Penn State. It's hurt the college...the football team...everyone. Nothing good has come from this for Penn State...so, why would they go along with all of this? What, exactly, did they get out of it? Stop for a moment...stop just saying "he looks innocent" or "he keeps saying he's innocent"...and use some logic. WHY would everyone, especially Penn State, go along with something that will end up costing them millions and millions of dollars???

Yes Elizabeth!!!! I am completely disgusted w/his wife too...and there is no way she didn't know what was going un under her own nose!!! DENIAL is a sickness too!!! Jerry Sandusky makes my skin crawl...what a nasty excuse for a human being. For the boys he abused, I hope they receive justice and can move on...they always need to remember: THEY DID NOTHING WRONG!

Elizabeth - i concur 2222000000%! Your words are my exact thought!

No, not really, since if you really believe you are innocent you may pass the test. And chris, I still don't see your evidence for that claim.

Yeah. It's a set up, and you're a driveling arse.

Wow Talk....another clueless person. Yes it's a HUGE conspiracy.... that Penn State will end up paying MILLIONS of dollars on...but of course.... they went along with it because they have no problem paying millions of dollars for it. It's amazing you two...chris and talk.... you post that it's a set up...and yet you give NO facts to back this up...not ONE logical thing to back up your...insisting that he's innocent. You are just the type of people who blame everyone for their mistakes.... you...like Sandusky...will never take responsibility for your mistakes.

Polygraph tests are not being used in most cases anymore because they have been proved inefficent compared to more reliable tests out there. And as others have stated before, if someone really believes they are innocent despite the mounds of evidence that proves otherwise, they would pass the test easily. That test is set up to detect pulse fluctations when a person is lying and professionals have proven that you can fool the polygraph test. This is mainly why you don't see it being used anymore.

When a person is "Brought in for Questioning" they are put in a room and asked questions about a crime. Many many Police depts use Voice Stress Analyzation equipment so they can focus in on the people they think are involved. Once in the "interview room" an entire list of psychological techniques are used to invoke stress so as to "bump" the machine. None of this is legal in a court of law but its used a lot. You will never see a policeman or judge talk about this in public but its as real as the sun. If the person doesnt have a solid alibi he or she can and usually is bound over for trial with the thinking that "if he's innocent it will come out". Of course there are a lot of other things that hinge on that decision but thats the cruxt of it. Sometimes a persons innocense doesnt come out and they are put in prison. Its not the government of our founding fathers nor is it based on our constitution. As soon as the Supreme Court decided that it was legal for police to lie to us, everything changed. When you do take a polygraph the results can be lied about in order to induce a confession or aid in their investigation. SO I ask the question, why would anyone take a polygraph????

@tz-3189354 Something that is glowingly apparent whenever i read the comment sections of most stories is the following: A HUGE number of people are having difficulty COMPREHENDING what they read, hear and see.
You are clearly one of these people.
Where in my previous comment do i conclude that it was a "set up"?
Where in my previous comment do i "insist he is innocent"?
I could go on, but i think i've made my point.

If i appear to be clueless, it is because I AM. I was not present at any of the alleged crimes, so i can not comment on innocence or guilt of any of the parties involved. So i remain impartial.
Personally, i wish this was something EVERYONE learned how to do. Instead of playing keyboard judge and jury.

I only expressed an interest in what a polygraph test may have had to say.

You apparently know something about the case, that the rest of us only reading about it, and seeing it on tv, do not. Hopefully, you divulged all that you knew on the witness stand. Genius.

10 young men and a witness says he did, fair trial, convicted and your point?

Skyparrot, his point is on top of his head. I think he's a troll just trying to rile everybody up.

he just got thirty years Chris......now what?

skyparrot - that sentence wasn't an option.

Hank - absolutely the appropriate punishment for this and other scumbags. For one thing, it eliminates the 'drive' for committing these atrocities. I had wondered if anyone else was going to raise this as an appropriate punishment...

Where's your proof that Penn State covered up anything? Why aren't you questioning The Second Mile? Children & Youth Services? The PA Attorney General, now Governor?

UHHH, a witness went to Paterno with what he saw with his own eyes wryview. Look at the names in the Penn State organization who will still have to answer for this cover up. Paterno is proof. Sandusky started the Second Mile. Gosh, read the article. You people are really piss*ng me off today.

I think your wife is 100% right.

I read a few weeks ago that a catholic priest said the kids seduced him.

Made me sick.
