A fifth says he'll read about it afterward, and the other seven haven't been identified.

The 68-year-old Sandusky is likely to get a lengthy prison term from Judge John Cleland, given the serious nature of his convictions for child sexual abuse, and the fact that he was found guilty of 45 crimes.

The former Penn State assistant football coach maintains his innocence and plans to appeal.
