Most importantly, that means the convicted pedophile — the man once admired for his charity and stature in the community who even maintained his innocence face to face with the judge on Tuesday — will never violate anyone in this community again. Senior Judge John Cleland essentially gave the 68-year-old Sandusky a life sentence, saying he expected the former coach to die in prison.
