Jesse Osmun and his attorney sought to contrast his acceptance of responsibility and his remorse with Jerry Sandusky, the former Penn State assistant football coach who denied committing “disgusting acts” against children and instead painted himself as the victim when he was sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison Tuesday.
