Jerry Sandusky, former Penn State football coach has been sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison Tuesday, NBC News reports.
He was sentenced for abusing 10 boys throughout 15 years, NBC News reported.
He was charged with 45 counts of child sexual abuse. Judge John Cleland said to NBC News, "The crime is not only what you did to their bodies but to their psyches and their souls and the assault to the well-being of the larger community in which we all live."
NBC News reported that some of the victims of Sandusky's abuse spoke out at court. One victim who NBC News didn't identify by name said, "You were the person in my life who was supposed to be a role model, teach honor, respect and accountability, and instead you did terrible things that screwed up my life."
Sandusky, 68, had met the boys who he sexually abused through his charity for underprivileged youth called the Second Mile.
ABC News reported that he will now be transported to Camp Hill State Prison which is near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Then officials will decide where to send Sandusky. ABC News reported, "likely to a low-security prison specializing in older inmates or those with psychological issues, including one in eastern Pennsylvania with many sex offenders. There are 26 prisons for men in Pennsylvania that Sandusky could be sent to, none of which have a special housing unit or facility for sex offenders."
After Sandusky gets his housing, he will then have options for treatment programs for sex offenders.
