Sandusky Sentencing Date Set
Jerry Sandusky was convicted on 45 of 48 counts of child sex abuse in late June. Today, nearly three months later, Specially Presiding Judge John Cleland has scheduled a 9am hearing on October 9th to determine whether Sandusky is a sexually violent predator. Immediately following that hearing, Sandusky will be sentenced at the Centre County Courthouse. Given the number of counts and the seriousness of the crimes, it is expected that the 68-year-old Sandusky will spend the rest of his life behind bars. Since his conviction, Sandusky has maintained his innocence from inside the county lockup.
