Sandusky's Autobiography Helped Cops Find Victims

A simple Google search on Jerry Sandusky could have saved police a lot of time. Instead, it wasn't until a year into the investigation of Sandusky's alleged child abuse that authorities learned about his autobiography, Touched—which helped them track down four more victims. In late 2009, police found the second alleged victim through a campus police report; the victim's mother told them about Touched, available in the campus bookstore.

Using the book, the mother pointed out four more alleged victims, she tells the Patriot-News. The report raises new questions about why the case took three years to investigate, the paper notes. Some, including Democratic candidates for state attorney general, have suggested that then-state attorney general Tom Corbett delayed the probe until after his election as governor. The candidates have pledged to examine the office's handling of the case. (More Jerry Sandusky stories.)
