Jerry Sandusky is GUILTY: Ex-Penn State coach faces the rest of his life in jail after he's convicted of 45 counts of child sex abuse

Jerry Sandusky has been found guilty of sexually abusing young boys while he was an assistant coach of the Penn State football team.

He was convicted of 45 of the counts against him, and acquitted of a further three.

Sandusky, who is now headed to jail where he will be placed on suicide watch, could face a total sentence of up to 442 years in prison.

Jurors were sequestered for just two days while they deliberated the verdict.

The conviction of Sandusky finally brings an end to a horrific saga which has trashed the reputation of a leading public university and ended the career of its president as well as its legendary head coach, Joe Paterno, who died of cancer in January.
