Ex Penn State defensive assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky has been found guilty of 45 counts and was taken into custody immediately after the verdicts were read. A crowd that had gathered outside the court exploded into loud cheers as word of the guilty verdicts reached them. Sandusky showed no emotion as the guilty verdicts were read. Among the charges were involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a person under 16 years old, aggravated indecent assault, indecent assault of a person under 16 years old, indecent assault of a person under 13 years old and corruption of minors. The minimum sentence is sixty years and it's very likely that Sandusky will receive much more than the minimum sentence which in effect will guarantee that he will be in prison for the rest of his life. Eight young men testified to the sexual horrors that they faced as young boys at the hands of Sandusky...horrors that included forced oral sex and anal rape.The assaults took place between 1996 and 2005. Sandusky retired from his Penn St. coaching job in 1999 after 32 years serving under Penn St. icon Joe Paterno. The scandal resulted in the firing of Paterno.There is absolutely no doubt that Jerry Sandusky, who called himself the tickle monster, is exactly that...a monster.
