Sandusky to be resentenced next month

HARRISBURG, Pa. -- A state judge has ordered Jerry Sandusky be taken to a central Pennsylvania courtroom next month for resentencing on his 45-count child sexual abuse conviction, six months after an appeals court ruled mandatory minimums had been improperly applied.

Judge John Foradora filed an order Wednesday that scheduled the proceeding for Sept. 23.

Sandusky, a former Penn State assistant football coach, was convicted in 2012 of the sexual abuse of 10 boys, including attacks on campus. Victims testified that he subjected them to abuse that included violent sexual attacks. He was sentenced to 30 to 60 years, but that term was overturned by Superior Court in February.
