BELLEFONTE, Pennsylvania (Reuters) - A jury on Friday found former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky guilty on 45 of 48 counts in his child sex abuse trial after some 21 hours of deliberation.
Sandusky, who faces potentially hundreds of years in prison, was escorted immediately out of the courthouse in handcuffs and taken into an awaiting sheriff's cruiser.

That sicko got what he deserves. He just gave me the creeps the way he was always smiling everytime his mug was on camera - like he really thought he was going to get away with it. He wasn't smiling when he was led out of the courthouse in handcuffs after the verdict last night tho - was he???

I hope that his victims now have closure, and can move on with their lives in some sort of peace, tho they never will be truly free of the horrible acts committed against them.

Although it should have been sooner, GOOD!

He's not smiling any more.

You bet he's not!

I'd be willing to bet that these 10 victims are just the tip of the iceberg, and that there are many, many more who chose not to come forward because they were too embarrassed to do so.

This creep ruined a lot of lives, and the reputation of a wonderful university. And all the negativity about Joe Paterno - well that was the icing on the cake. It's a shame that he went to his grave with all of that crap hanging over his head.

It is my understanding that State Prisons are much worse than Federal and local prisons. I also heard, long ago, that other prisoners do not like child molesters and will probably make his life in prison, miserable. Couldn't happen to a better guy, in my opinion. It will be interesting to see which prison he goes to and if he lives long once he gets there.

Just a horrible story. I am sure things like this happen all the time and we never learn about it. Just awful.

My limited knowledge of the facts of this horrible mess is that Joe Paterno knew or should have known this sort of thing was going on. Those that sit by, idly, allowing crimes to be perpetrated on animals or children deserve everything that the abuser got. IMO. I do not believe this whole situation was known by only two people- the abuser and the victim.
