Jeffrey Sandusky, the son of former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, will face up to eight years in prison after pleading guilty to 12 felonies related to child molestation Friday.

Matthew Stevens of WJAC TV reported the news. Sandusky, 41, pleaded guilty to 14 charges overall. Prosecutors will ask the judge to sentence him to four to eight years in prison. He will face no fewer than three as part of a plea deal.

“While we were fully prepared to proceed to trial, today’s guilty plea to all charges ensures a significant prison sentence for defendant’s solicitation of child sex crimes with two minors that once completely trusted him,” Centre County District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller said in a statement.
