Bellefonte, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- Former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky will likely spend the rest of his life in prison, after a judge handed down a prison sentence Tuesday for his convictions on child sexual abuse charges.

Judge John Cleland said Sandusky will face no less than 30 years and no more than 60 years, with credit for time served.

He was convicted in June of sexually abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period.

The 68-year-old had faced a maximum of 400 years in prison.

Spanier ran out PSU’s highly successful women’s basketball coach for being “homophobic.”

Not exactly.

Spanier had no problem with her 'no lesbians' policy as long as PSU was winning. The policy was well-known and in place for years and years - it had been the topic of a national newspaper story and an award-winning documentary.

Then, PSU lost in the first round of the NCAA to a much lower-ranked team and the coach dismissed a couple of lesbians from the team, one of who was a star player.

Questioned by the media, the PSU Athletic Department first denied that anybody had been dismissed, then said the dismissals were for lack of performance. There was a major brouhaha in the press that brought back up the old issues of 'no lesbians' that hadn't bothered Spanier. Spanier did nothing.

The faculty senate then stepped in and levied a fine on the coach. She refused to pay it and eventually resigned.

I can dig and find links to the stories if you desire - but as much as Spanier pushed the boundaries sexually, he wasn't about to rock the boat as long as the women's basketball coach was winning.

ESPN reported that the judge said he was not eligible for parole.

Why would this rapist be sentenced to a “minimum security” (read white collar crime) prison ?

According to the story, Sandusky will be eligible for parole only AFTER 30 years.

It's been said that some wives let stuff like this happen, even to her own children, so she won't have to have sex with her husband.

And yes, she knew.

Judge John Cleland sentenced him to 30 year minimum to 60 years maximum in prison. Under Pennsylvania law, Sandusky cannot be released on parole before the minimum term is up.

Judge John Cleland said Sandusky, 68, will face no less than 30 years and no more than 60 years in prison -- meaning he is not eligible for parole for 30 years.

I've never heard of such a arbitrary sentence 30-60 Years?

So is it 31 years, 40 years, 52 years, 60 years?

Really, I can’t believe they haven’t.

I don’t know about the rest of you all, but I’m thinking the sentence handed down is a little light. 30-60 years means he’ll almost definitely get parole at some point.

No it doesn't. 30 years is the minimum of time to be served. The creep will be 98 years old before he is even eligible for parole. You think he'll last that long?

“..Pathetically, he will more than likely, enjoy the assault...”

At first glance, I don’t think so...this pervert freak seemed to like having the upper hand on helpless/weaker boys that he could easily control. He might not find being on the reverse end of the situation all that enjoyable - Especially when it’s three or more inmates beating the hell out of him while he’s being treated to a little of his own medicine.

The paper used the word ‘minimal’, maybe that’s differs from ‘minimum’.

I do not know what the differences between prisons and I do not know the answer to your question.

I thought it was amusing that the officials at the prison are concerned about his safety, yet are not going to isolate him.

Well, good. Sandusky can enjoy it to death.

So is it 31 years, 40 years, 52 years, 60 years?<

Does it really matter? How many 98 year old men are held in our federal prisons?

I understand that if you don't behave yourself in one of these minimum security prisons, you win a free trip to the real gray-bar hotel.
