Jerry Sandusky Receives 30-60 Years in Resentencing for Sexual Abuse of Children

Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky received the same sentence of 30 to 60 years in prison for sexually abusing children that he was given in 2012 at a resentencing hearing Friday.

Mark Scolforo of the Associated Press reported Warren County court judge Maureen Skerda denied Sandusky's efforts to reduce his sentence as he continues to claim his innocence.

"I apologize that I'm unable to admit remorse for this because it's something that I didn't do," he said during the hearing, which was ordered by an appeals court because of changes to mandatory sentencing minimums since his 2012 conviction.
