STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -
On the eve of his sentencing, former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky made a statement that was aired Monday night on ComRadio of Penn State, saying in his heart "I know I did not do these alleged disgusting acts."
According to the ComRadio website, the former coach's statement aired at 6 p.m.
"I'm responding to the worst loss of my life. First, I looked at myself. Over and over, I asked why? Why didn't we have a fair opportunity to prepare for trial? Why have so many people suffered as a result of false allegations? What's the purpose? Maybe it will help others; some vulnerable children who could be abused, might not be because of all the publicity," a transcript of the statement read on the ComRadio website.
The transcript continued to read:
"In my heart, I know I did not do these alleged disgusting acts. My wife has been my only sex partner that was after marriage. Our love continues. A young man who was dramatic a veteran accuser, and always sought attention, started everything."
ComRadio features the work of Penn State students from the College of Communications, according to the website.
