Sandusky lashes out at accusers as judge sentences him to 30-60 years

Former Penn State University assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky was sentenced to 30 to 60 years in jail Tuesday, hours after issuing a statement from jail accusing prosecutors and his accusers of setting up a conspiracy against him,” WNBC-TV reports.

Sandusky was found guilty in June of 45 counts of child sex abuse committed against 10 boys over a 15-year period. Late Monday night, he declared his innocence to a campus radio station in a statement confirmed by a member of his defense team.

“In my heart, I know I did not do these alleged disgusting acts,” Sandusky told Penn State ComRadio. “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.”

An attorney for one of Sandusky’s accusers mocked his statements in an interview with CNN Tuesday morning. “If you are to believe Mr. Sandusky, then we have the grand conspiracy, which his lawyers attempted to play out in the court, which involved 10 young men, a janitor, Mr. (Mike) McQueary, the press, the lawyers and everyone else who’s involved,” said Tom Kline, who represented the young man identified by the court as “Victim No. 5.”
