BELLEFONTE, Pa. â€"  Jerry Sandusky, a former Penn State assistant football coach, was sentenced Tuesday morning to 30 to 60 years in prison for sexually abusing boys, crimes that roiled the university community and shook one of major college football’s most prominent programs.
The ruling was handed down in Centre County Court by Judge John Cleland, and it essentially guaranteed that Sandusky, 68, would die in prison. The sentencing came roughly three and a half months after a jury found him guilty of 45 counts of child sexual abuse.
Sandusky, the jury determined, had abused 10 boys, all of them from disadvantaged homes. Sandusky used his connections to the Penn State football program, as well as his own charity for disadvantaged youth, the Second Mile, to identify potential victims, get close to them and then sexually violate them.
In a recorded statement broadcast on a Penn State radio station Monday night, a defiant Sandusky said: “They can take away my life, they can make me out as a monster, they can treat me as a monster, but they can’t take away my heart. In my heart, I know I did not do these alleged, disgusting acts. My wife has been my only sex partner and that was after marriage.â€
Sandusky arrived at the court Tuesday dressed in a red prison outfit and looking thinner than he had at his trial. He spoke before the sentence was handed down, again denying that he had abused the boys.
Cleland said that Sandusky’s ability to deceive those who trusted him and thought so highly of him was what made his acts so “heinous.â€
“I’m not going to sentence you to centuries in prison, although the law will permit that,†Cleland said, though he added that he expected Sandusky to be in prison for the rest of his life.
Sandusky’s crimes have exacted a tremendous toll on Penn State. Within days of the grand jury indictment of Sandusky being made public in November 2011, Joe Paterno, the football team’s famed head coach and a patriarchal figure at the university, was fired. He had been alerted to at least one of Sandusky’s attacks on a boy. Within months, Paterno was dead of cancer at age 85.
The university’s president, Graham B. Spanier, was also dismissed, and the Penn State community found itself confronting the idea that it had placed the interests of its football team above concern for at-risk children.
A seven-month investigation conducted by Louis J. Freeh, a former director of the F.B.I., determined that Penn State’s leaders â€" most prominently Spanier; Paterno; the former university vice president Gary Schultz; and the athletic director Tim Curley â€" disregarded the welfare of Sandusky’s victims.
Freeh’s report drew on 430 interviews and a review of more than three million e-mails. But when it was released in July, after Sandusky had been convicted, some Penn State supporters, including Paterno’s family, viewed it as a flawed and incomplete rendering of what happened, not as binding fact.
The N.C.A.A., relying on the Freeh report, fined the university $ 60 million and imposed a four-year postseason ban and a hefty scholarship reduction on the football team. It also vacated all football victories since 1998, when the sexual assaults documented in the grand jury indictment against Sandusky were believed to have begun. That means that Paterno no longer has the most career coaching victories in major college football.
Though Sandusky will now almost certainly spend the rest of his life in prison, the larger case is far from settled. Four of Sandusky’s victims are suing the university. Victim 1, as he has been called in court, has written a book set to be released Oct. 23.
Mike McQueary, the former assistant coach who testified to seeing Sandusky sexually abuse a boy in the shower on Penn State’s campus in 2001, sued the university last week for misrepresentation and defamation, saying the university had mistreated him since Sandusky’s actions became public. McQueary had reported the incident to Paterno, who was faulted for not responding aggressively, and other Penn State officials.
Curley, who is on leave, and Schultz, a former senior vice president, are scheduled to stand trial in January on charges of perjury and failing to report child sex abuse, relating to the incident McQueary reported in 2001. Last month Schultz and Curley asked to be tried separately, and both have pleaded not guilty.
