Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky received his sentence Tuesday. Sandusky was sentenced to thirty to sixty years in prison.

Sandusky was found guilty back in June of 45 counts of child sexual abuse involving 10 boys over a 15-year period.

Sandusky's maintains his innocence and his attorney say they're planning to appeal.

"We're pleased with the sentence. Obviously, its still a life sentence, but its a lot less than what we thought it could have been. We're busy drafting our appeals right now. We will be filing within 10 days opposed sentence motion," said Karl Rominger, Jerry Sandusky's attorney.

Sandusky gave a statement in court in which he denied the allegations and talked about his life in prison and the pain of being away from his family.

Three victims, some fighting back tears, spoke as well. One looked Sandusky in the eyes at times.
