(Reuters) - The adopted son of Jerry Sandusky, the former Penn State University assistant football coach convicted of sexually abusing young boys, was sentenced on Friday to serve up to seven years in prison for child sex crimes, a court official said.

Jeffrey Sandusky, 42, pleaded guilty in September to soliciting two teenage sisters for sex, according to Pennsylvania prosecutors. The guilty pleas came one week before he was set to go to trial on allegations that he sent lewd text messages to the underage girls asking for sex and naked photographs.

Centre County Court of Common Pleas Judge Pamela Ruest sentenced Sandusky to three-and-a-half to seven years in prison followed by one year of probation, district court administrator Kendra Miknis said in an email.

Sandusky’s lawyer, Lance Marshall, declined to comment on the sentence, but he said that his client is currently being held at the Centre County Correctional Facility and will be moved to the State Correctional Institution in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania.

3. poor post

[BannonsLiver]

7. And 100 percent true.

The man is a child molester.

[Angry Dragon]

8. perhaps being molested as a child has something to do with it

creates a viscous circle that is hard to break

10. No doubt.

But that doesn't exonerate someone from crimes. I'm going to go ahead and delete my post because it's not something to be flippant about.

11. you are right, it does not exonerate him............just to understand

13. Good man. No room for snark with sex crimes against children.

2. WTH? I guess Sandusky messed his son's head up.

Because last I heard, pedophilia is not genetic.

4. adopted

5. It's not genetic, but when you are abused as a child

you learn there are two choices in life: become an abuser - or be abused.

Most male abused children "choose" the former.

(Note: I do not KNOW that Sandusky abused his child, but chances are he did.)

6. Yeah...makes sense. I've heard the same, generally. nt

15. Yep.

I’d bet a paycheck Dad Sandusky was sexually abused, and I’d bet another paycheck, OK half another paycheck, it was his Dad. Who ran some kind of program for children, if memory services.

9. Matt, another Sandusky adopted son

was abused so perhaps that was the reason the adopted kids were brought into the household. It sure sounds like it here.

12. I interrupted an attempted rape (my neighbor)

In the mid eighties and the perp had served time for rape at knife point already, and he only got two years. This is a remarkably harsh penalty for soliciting only... No physical contact at all? Am I missing something?

14. I don't think so

This is partially why we have the highest incarceration rate in the world, people like to think it's only those non violent drug users. The fact of the matter is compared with the rest of the western world we have far harsher sentences across the board. That and finding new things to criminalize, lock up the parents that let their kid walk home from the park alone then lock up the kid for playing doctor etc.
