UPDATE: 10:15am EST
A Pennslyvania judge has just sentenced former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky sentenced to 30-60 years in prison stemming from his sexual abuse case.
Here is Sandusky’s crazy statment to the court:
My wife has been my only sex partner that was after marriage. Our love continues. A young man who was dramatic a veteran accuser, and always sought attention, started everything. He was joined by a well-orchestrated effort of the media, investigators, the system, Penn State, psychologists, civil attorneys and other accusers. They won. I’ve wondered what they really won: Attention, financial gain, prestige… will all be temporary. Before you blame me, as others have, look at everything and everybody. Look at the preparation for the trial and the trial. Compare it to others. Think about what happened. Why, and who made it happen? Evaluate the accusers and their families. Realize they didn’t come out of isolation. The accusers were products of many more people and experiences than me. Look at their confidants and their honesty. Think about how easy it was for them to turn on me given the information, attention and potential perks. I never labeled or put down them or their families.

Convicted sex abuser and disgraced former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, 68, insists he is not a sexual predator, but instead the victim of a wide-ranging conspiracy.
STORY: Really?!? Sandusky Allowed to Watch Penn State Football & Work In Prison
According to the New York Daily News, while speaking from his jail cell, Sandusky told a Penn State student radio station:
“They can take away my life, they can make me out as a monster, they can treat me as a monster, but they can’t take away my heart…In my heart, I know I did not do these alleged disgusting acts.”
A jury certainly didn’t agree, as Sandusky was convicted of 45 counts of sexual abuse in June and is expected to read the statement at his sentencing hearing scheduled in Bellefonte on Tuesday morning.
In the statement, Sandusky claims the bombshell allegations of abuse that ripped apart central Pennsylvania grew from a story concocted by one of the youths he was mentoring, and was later inflated by police investigators, Penn State officials, the media and others.
Sandusky went on to say:
“A young man who was dramatic, a veteran accuser and always sought attention, started everything. He was joined by a well-orchestrated effort of the media, investigators, the system, Penn State, psychologists, civil attorneys and other accusers. They won.”
We guess Sandusky is willing to say anything as he faces between 10 and 218 years in prison, and will most likely spend the rest of his life behind bars.
