Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky's convictions on 45 child sex abuse counts will send him to prison for the rest of his life.
   
Jurors announced the verdict Friday night after weighing 48 charges accusing him of abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period.
   
Sandusky has been led away to jail in handcuffs.
   
Defence attorney Joe Amendola says Sandusky is disappointed by the verdict. Many of the charges carry mandatory minimum sentences that will keep the 68-year-old Sandusky behind bars for decades. Amendola calls it a ``life sentence.''
   
Meanwhile, Pennsylvania Attorney General Linda Kelly is thanking the accusers who testified, calling them ``brave men.''
   
She says the trial was forced on them and that she hopes the verdict ``helps these victims heal ... and helps other victims of abuse to come forward.''

It happened at Runnymede station on the Bloor-Danforth line. During a stop the crook grabbed her phone, and then as she tells the Toronto Sun he just "sauntered" off the train.

More details are emerging about the problems the Toronto District School board is having with construction and maintenance workers.

A continuing Toronto Star investigation now reports that some workers have been discovered in bars, spending far too long at Tim Horton's, and even a man and a woman "fooling around" in a car, all while on the public dime.

According to the paper, 8 workers have been fired by the board for similar behaviour. It's not known if the TDSB is trying to recoup the wages paid to the workers who were slacking off.

Another case is also under investigation where a TDSB construction worker was spotted passing out pamphlets at home offering to do odd jobs, while ...
