In courtroom 1 in the Centre County Courthouse Tuesday the young man known as "Victim 4" said "My only regret is that I didn`t come forward sooner. While I don`t forgive you, I ask others who were abused to forgive me for not coming forward sooner."
When it was his turn to speak, "Victim 5" said, "The sentence will never erase images of his filthy naked body up against me. It is real and it is painful and it will be inside me forever."
"Victim 6" said to the court and Jerry Sandusky, "That night you told me your were the 'tickle monster' and touched my 11-year-old body and let me think what you were doing was okay. I've been left with deep painful wounds words can simply not define."
In part of Jerry Sandusky's statement, he said "I am talking not out of arrogance but from my heart. I am not a monster that they portray me to be. I did not do these alleged disgusting acts. I wanted to help kids."
