Judge John Cleland has sentenced former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky to at least 30 years in prison, no more than 60 years - meaning Sandusky will likely spend the rest of his life in prison.
Sandusky was convicted earlier this year on child sexual abuse charges, sexually abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period. His attorneys have 10 days to appeal.
The former coach maintains his innocence, and pleaded his case in a tape released Monday.
Before his sentencing Tuesday, he spoke from jail.
You can hear his statement from Monday evening in this segment from CNN:
