Penn State rapist Jerry Sandusky BELLEFONTE, PA – OCTOBER 09: Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky (C) leaves the Centre County Courthouse after being sentenced in his child sex abuse case on October 9, 2012 in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. The 68-year-old Sandusky was sentenced to at least 30 years and not more that 60 years in prison for his conviction in June on 45 counts of child sexual abuse, including while he was the defensive coordinator for the Penn State college football team.

In a story that somehow continues to get even grosser, Jerry Sandusky’s son Jeffrey pleaded guilty to 14 charges related to sexual abuse of a minor.

Jeffrey Sandusky was arrested back in February. As the AP notes, Sandusky was set to go to trial within a few weeks. This plea deal prevents that from happening:

Jeffrey Sandusky’s plea deal comes a week before his trial was slated to begin on the charges, and nearly six years after his father was arrested in a child molestation case that shook Penn State and is still working its way through criminal and civil courts.

Jeffrey Sandusky pleaded guilty to all 14 counts, including solicitation of statutory sexual assault and solicitation of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse.

A call seeking comment from his lawyer wasn’t immediately returned Friday.

As part of the deal, 41-year-old Sandusky will spend up to six years in state prison, but the judge could impose as much as eight years.

Let’s hope it’s eight years.
