Jerry Sandusky's book, 'Touched,' helped police investigation into alleged sex crimes [View all]

The investigation of Jerry Sandusky took three years.

And it took Sandusky himself — through the pages of his autobiography, “Touched” — to help police find Victims 3, 4, 5 and 7.

At the end of 2009, police had spent almost a year trying to corroborate claims by a single boy — a 17-year-old Clinton County teen later known as Victim 1 — who had alleged years of sexual abuse by Penn State’s legendary defensive coach. Only one state police investigator had been tasked to handle the case.

The 1998 boy was called Victim 6 by the grand jury. After police found him, the man’s mother told them about Sandusky’s autobiography, which was sitting on the shelves of the Penn State bookstore. A Google search of the name “Jerry Sandusky” would have revealed the book in seconds.



Victim 6’s mother and sister sat down with police, flipped through the pages of Sandusky’s book, and quickly identified boys who had often attended football games together. That led police to identify four more alleged victims, according to Victim 6’s mother.

Oh the irony.....

It is beyond ludicrous for anybody to say they couldn't find any information or for Joepa among others to claim ignorance. Inspector Clouseau looks like Sherlock Holmes compared to the law enforcement officials in Centre County and PSU.

I wish they would jail every one of these mooks who looked the other way! They all belong under the prison.

Sandusky is going to get touched.
