He could be paroled in 10 years with that sentence.

The guy is 68 years old and jail is probably not the best place for someone like him in general. Plus the fact that pedophiles are usually the scum of the earth in prison. I suspect the guy will be dead within the decade.

Parole boards don't usually take a liking to assholes who stick to that, they want to see remorse and rehabilitation. Not that he'd get it anyway, I can't imagine any sane board releasing this sub-human filth anyway. Good riddance to bad garbage.

prisoners have a 'moral' code of sorts. Sandusky is a dead man walking.

by some powerful people and organizations. What a disgrace. He should have been given life with no parole.

no remorse, no contrition. A scumbag to the end.

Exactly.

Considering that we know of at least 10 victims and that Sandusky used his charity to try and draw in even more victims, and to also cover up his past crimes, he should have been sentenced to at least life in prison with NO possible chance for parole.

There was a man sentenced to life in prison with no chance for parole here in Idaho just a few months ago, and we only know of 2 victims that he sexually assaulted and raped.
The odds are, there were more victims in his case, but one thing is for sure, he will never walk free again.
And he was not a pillar of his community the way Sandusky was thought to be, before this scandal broke out in the news last year.

I mean, if he's going to die in jail anyway, why not make it 400 years? This monster was totally unremorseful. This judge had an opportunity to show how unacceptable these crimes were, and he chose not to take it. Why?

How about a public ritual disembowelment?

This guy is going to die in prison, and that's still not good enough.

Such reactions go some way toward explaining why the US is the world's leading jailer.

But honestly? A bullet to the back of his head would save the taxpayers 30 years' of room and board and sit perfectly fine with me. I'm DP agnostic-anti, I have no particular objection on principle but the implementation can never be perfect and there's no fixing a mistake - but in this case, meh.

You can think that the US justice system is overzealous and still think Sandusky should rot in a hole for the rest of his life. It's allowed.

"Such reactions go some way toward explaining why the US is the world's leading jailer...."

Confusing a visceral reaction on a message board to the justice system is, well... simply another visceral over-reaction.

Especially if he has a chance to be paroled in 10 years. I don't know how Pennsylvania is, but in some states, there would be a good chance that he would be up for early parole.

Again -- maximum sentence.

Get ready to play drop the soap, Coach Sicko.

living in the general prison population?

crimes.
This is not a one person crime spree.
Will the abettors stand trial?

I guess she's testified that she did not know, but it's kind of difficult to understand how that's possible.

This is the lowest of the low. There is very little you can do worse than what he did.

In fact, I think I prefer it to the DP in his case. The men who were his victims must live the rest of their lives with the consequences of his abuse. Sandusky should have to do exactly the same: live with the consequences.
