Disgraced ex-football coach Jerry Sandusky was resentenced Friday for molesting several boys while he was on the staff of Penn State University.
Sandusky, 75, received the same 30- to 60-year sentence as he did seven years ago when he was originally convicted, according to PennLive, from Judge Maureen Skerda.
Sandusky’s resentencing was prompted by a change in the law. His original sentence was based on mandatory sentencing guidelines that have since been overturned.

A Centre County jury convicted Sandusky of committing an array of child-sex crimes against clients of his youth charity, the Second Mile, between 1994 and 2008.
Sandusky has steadfastly maintained his innocence. Penn State has paid more than $100 million in settlements to more than 30 of his victims.
Last month, Penn State officials confirmed they are investigating a new abuse claim against Sandusky.
