Sandusky will be sentenced Tuesday. He released this:

Jerry Sandusky released a statement and audio from his prison cell Monday, the night before he is scheduled to be sentenced on 45 counts of child sexual abuse.
<snip>
Here is the full statement:

I'm responding to the worst loss of my life. First, I looked at myself. Over and over, I asked why? Why didn't we have a fair opportunity to prepare for trial? Why have so many people suffered as a result of false allegations? What's the purpose? Maybe it will help others; some vulnerable children who could be abused, might not be because of all the publicity. That would be nice, but I'm not sure about it.

I would cherish the opportunity to become a candle for others, as they have been a light for me. They could take away my life, they could make me out as a monster, they could 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 that was after marriage. Our love continues.

A young man who was dramatic a veteran accuser, and always sought attention, started everything. He was joined by a well-orchestrated effort of the media, investigators, the system, Penn State, psychologists, civil attorneys and other accusers. They won. I've wondered what they really won: Attention, financial gain, prestige& will all be temporary.

The rest if you can stand it. There is also an audio link to his message at the site:http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2012/10/jerry_sandusky_releases_audio.html

I hope they put him under the jail for all eternity!

..Sandusky is no different. He is a coward that can't even come to terms about what he did. I wish they woulda fried his ass. Anyone who abuses children does not deserve freedom. And.....he can't talk his way out of it. He did it, now he has to pay the price of being a serial child sex abuser. I hope he gets his comeuppins in prison.
