Tom Corbett Met With Jerry Sandusky Investigator Examining His Handling Of Sex Abuse Case
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Gov. Tom Corbett has met with a special prosecutor investigating his handling of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse case while he was attorney general and why it took so long to bring charges against the former Penn State assistant football coach.
The Republican governor's communications director, Lynn Lawson, told The Associated Press on Friday that the meeting was earlier this week, but she declined to disclose other details.
The investigation into how the Sandusky case was handled has its roots in Kathleen Kane's successful 2012 campaign to become the first Democrat and the first woman to be elected Pennsylvania's attorney general. During the campaign, she repeatedly questioned why it took nearly three years for charges to be filed against Sandusky.
In February 2013, Kane appointed Widener Law School professor and former federal prosecutor Geoff Moulton to lead an investigation. Moulton did not return a phone message, and Kane's spokesman declined to address Corbett's interview.

For decades, Paterno had the luxury of not being very concerned with Sandusky's "activities" because of the strong defensive line he'd built around his empire -- a line that...also encompassed Pennsylvania's political structure...
Who knew (or should have known) what about Sandusky, when did they know it, and why didn't they at least try to stop him sooner? Damned good questions -- and they need to be asked all the way up to the...governor's office.
