Former US college football coach Jerry Sandusky has been found guilty of 45 out of 48 counts of child sex abuse.
The jury reached its verdict at the end of its second day of deliberations.
Sandusky, 68, denied 48 counts of abusing 10 boys over 15 years. A full guilty verdict could have seen him spend the rest of his life in jail.
Sandusky's arrest in November caused a scandal at Penn State that saw the university's president and legendary football coach Joe Paterno fired.
After the verdict, Sandusky's bail was revoked and he was taken into custody in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania.
The decision, delivered by a jury of seven women and five men, came after about 21 hours of deliberations over two days.
Sandusky, who did not testify, was accused of abusing boys he met through Second Mile, a charity he founded for at-risk youth.
He allegedly abused them at his home, in hotels and the athletic facilities of Penn State.
