Former Pennsylvania State University football coach Jerry Sandusky was sentenced to 30 years to 60 years in prison for charges of child sex abuse that involved 10 boys and spanned a decade and a half.

Legal observers said the sentence ensures that Mr. Sandusky, 68 years old, will almost certainly spend the rest of his life in a state prison. He had faced a minimum of 10 years and a maximum of more than 200 years. Experts said the chances of Mr. Sandusky successfully appealing his conviction is remote.

Too bad that Canada never gives child molesters prison sentences like that... ie. Graham James who has spent 4 years in total in prison (3.5 years on his first conviction and 6 months so far on his second) and will most likely be out on parole this fall.

Wow, that is just terrible. As much as I disagree with many things American, I have always been a fan of their harsher punishments for serious crimes.
