PENNSYLVANIA -- Jerry Sandusky will likely spend the rest of his life in prison. Sandusky insisted he did not do the "disgusting acts" he's been convicted of.
Tuesday, a judge sentenced the former Penn State coach to at least 30-years in prison and no more than 60. The 68-year old had faced a maximum 400-years behind bars.
Three of Sandusky's victims delivered emotional statements. Victim #4 said, "You were supposed to be my role model. Instead, you screwed up my life."
Sandusky will be eligible for parole when he's 98-years old. His attorneys plan to appeal, arguing they didn't have enough time to prepare their case.
