Sandusky faces century sentence

FORMER US college football coach Jerry Sandusky is facing spending the rest of his life in prison after being found guilty of 45 out of 48 counts of child sex abuse.

The 68-year-old faces a sentence of potentially hundreds of years in jail for molesting 10 boys over a 15 year period. The trial, which ended late on Friday, rocked the whole of US college football. Sandusky carried out some of the abuse at Penn State University, Pennsylvania, where he worked as an assistant football coach.
