. jerry sandusky walked out of court just moments after learning he will never be a free man again. thank you for joining us.

i'm jc hayward. former penn state football coach jerry sandusky will mostly die in prison. the 68-year-old convicted sex offender was sentenced today to at least 30 years in prison. a judge handed down the sentence this morning in bellfont, pennsylvania. andrea mccarren is there live. >> reporter: that sentence me down after a heartbreaking and emotional testimony from four of sandusky's victims, three of them right in the courtroom. one by one they detailed his abuse, his betrayal and the man he inflicted on their lives and on their families. one victim testified, quote, he called it horseplay and only later did i understand this was sexual assault. i'm troubled by flashbacks of his naked body. it is real. it is painful. and will be inside me forever as an open wound. he took away my childhood the

day he soughted me. -- he assaulted me. then jerry sandusky stood wearing an orange jail jumpsuit and addressed the judge, his voice choked by tears. quote, i'm filled with emotion and determination. i didn't do these alleged disgusting acts. we will continue to fight. there's much to fight, he said, alluding to his planned appeal. and then he added, those who still believe in us are the ones who matter. after the sentence was handed down, both the prosecution and defense spoke before a swarm of media. first we're going to hear from prosecutor joseph mc mcgeddedin. >> i believe the sentence was a wise one. the harm he caused and the need to remove him from society. the victims' statements were a vivid reminder of the

defendant's brutal crimes. frankly the defendant's behavior and statements today were consistent with the behavior throughout the period of time covered by the trial. that he displayed deservians, narcissism, a lack of feeling for the pain he caused others, and to the end an unwillingness to accept responsibility. >> we're going to challenge the fact we needed more time to prepare adequately jerry's defense. we needed more time to go through that information, to develop further investigative needs, and we simply ran out of time. we had to cut off our investigation to get ready to go to trial. we were literally preparing the night before each day with material that in some cases came in within days of the trial starting. >> reporter: again defense attorney joe amendola. once again to be clear, the defense team does plan an appeal. the prosecution indicated it is still an active investigation when asked if the team would be seeking any additional victims

in the case. in closing, an eloquent remark, before the sentence was handed down. senior judge john cleland addressed the victims directly and he said it is for your courage and not for your assault that you will be remembered. reporting live from bellefonte, pennsylvania, i'm andrea mccarren. back to you. prince george's county delegate tiffany austin is going on trial today. the democratic lawmaker is accused of using campaign money to help pay for her wedding expenses. earlier this year she was found guilty of using $800 in state money to pay an employee in her law office. some train traffic is moving between baltimore and wilmington. service was shut down this morning, however, following a power problem. and that meant no amtrak service between baltimore and philadelphia and no bart service north of baltimore. delays will continue throughout

death. this devastating news has been a great shock to our family and friends. right now this family and our community are grieving and we need to let the investigation run its course. at first fairfax county police called it an apparent suicide on twitter, though they wouldn't identify the body. then they posted that it was too early in the investigation to determine circumstances of death. but ask any of bryan's classmates and they say it's already being talked about on campus as a suicide. >> we're all wondering why this could happen or how this happened or what pushed him. >> i just think it's really rough for the woodson community and all the cavaliers. >> reporter: if it indeed is determined to absuicide, it would be -- to be a suicide, it would be the third at this high school in just two years. >> i wish i could have done something to help. >> we have to take this as a learning lesson and continue forward and make sure something like this doesn't happen again. >> reporter: in fairfax, kristin fisher, 9news now. fairfax county police say they are waiting for the
