(CBS/AP) A jury has found Jerry Sandusky guilty on 45 of 48 counts in
his child sex abuse trial, believing prosecutors' portrayal of him as a
serial molester who groomed his victims and not finding reasonable
doubt in his defense lawyer's assertions that the former Penn State
assistant football coach was being victimized by an overzealous
prosecution and greedy accusers.
Jurors were exposed to
seven days testimony, some of it graphically describing abuse suffered
at the hands of Sandusky, including touching in showers, fondling and in
some cases forced oral or anal sex.
Eight young men
testified that they were abused by the former Penn State assistant
football coach, and jurors also heard about two other alleged victims
through other witnesses, including another former coach.
The jury includes nine with ties to Penn State University.
