Jerry Sandusky was convicted Friday of sexually assaulting 10 boys over 15 years, with the jury finding him guilty of 45 of 48 counts. Sandusky, 68, a retired Penn State assistant football coach, showed little emotion as the verdict was read. The judge ordered him to be taken to the county jail to await sentencing in about three months. He faces the possibility of life in prison. The verdict capped two weeks of often graphic testimony from eight accusers.
