Former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky has been placed on suicide watch in jail, his lawyer said on Saturday, day after being found guilty of the serial sexual abuse of vulnerable young people.
Speaking on CNN, Sandusky's co-counsel Karl Rominger said his client was in protective custody and being kept away from other inmates as a precautionary measure, adding that there was no "immediate concerns" about Sandusky's wellbeing.
Sandusky is currently in jail awaiting sentencing for 45 counts of sexually abusing underage boys over a 15-year period. Sandusky is expected to spend the rest of his life in prison, although his attorneys have indicated that they will appeal.
Late Friday, a jury of seven women and five men returned after more than 20 hours of deliberations in the trial in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. It found Sandusky guilty of 45 out of 48 counts, and he was taken away from the court in handcuffs.
There were dramatic scenes outside the courtroom where a large crowd of hundreds of spectators had assembled. They cheered when the verdict was announced, and someone shouted "Rot in hell' as Sandusky was put into a police car and driven away.
A mother of one of his victims said: "Nobody wins. We've all lost."

Not likely, because unless this guy gets solid solitary confinement, he won’t last long. Guys in prison have a thing against pedophiles, and believe me, they can and will get brutal.

Why the NCAA will not slap Penn State with death penalty or lack of control
I'd pay money to watch that. Just call me civis romanus.
I wouldn't. There are millions of trauma victims who do not re-enact, and there are fetishists who molest without any previous history. I might bet ten bucks though.
Rubbish! Does anyone doubt what this goon would do left alone with anything with an orifice? He’s incapable of suicide because he has only ONE instinct.
The human capacity to adapt is not limited by virtue. Victor Frankl's celebrated ability to adapt to the concentration camp is no greater than the ability of a Sandusky to adapt to life 'inside'.
I don’t think it’s a look of despair. I think he’s thinking how long it’s been since he enjoyed a child rape! There’s no soul in there; he’s just a goon.
Chode please! He’s taking up our air needlessly!
I mean I know there is no shortage of oxygen but still...........
There is no way she did not know this was going on. On another thread they were talking about the look she gave him on the stand. She knew, she just was willing to turn a blind eye, probably because she liked the status of being this guys wife.
ditto. I wish he would be turned in with the general population, and that he never got another chance to pull up his pants or stand up straight again. Ever.
Also, there's something about his face, 'specially his eyes... something that ain't right.
Except for the kids he molested.
Jerry, welcome to their world.
his life will prolly be a living hell every single day till his day comes and that's OK by me
people like him do not do well in prison and the anguish and fear for his life he will experience every single day will be worth the O2
He could still do the only honorable thing left (yeah,it would take some creative thinking but his deviant mind has proven quite capable of that) and spare us the expense of an appeal.
But I suspect he’d rather diddle his victims one more time.
Why did this schmuck put the state and the victims through a trial? He should have taken himself out, or entered a guilty plea and taken his punishment. Just shows what a depraved POS this guy is.
