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 States legendary
defensive coach. Only one state police investigator had been tasked to
handle the case.
.
Finally, they discovered a campus police report from 1998, in which a boy
had said he was forced to take a naked shower with Sandusky in the Penn
State locker room and was inappropriately touched. With that,
investigators learned the key had been right in front of them.
.
The 1998 boy was called Victim 6 by the grand jury. After police found
him, the mans mother told them about Sanduskys 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 6s mother and sister sat down with police, flipped through the
pages of Sanduskys book, and quickly identified boys who had often
attended football games together. That led police to identify four more
alleged victims, according to Victim 6s mother.
.
Revelations like this only fuel the questions that persist about how Gov.
Tom Corbett who was attorney general at the time handled the Sandusky
case. Three years elapsed between the time the Clinton County boy came
forward and the day that Sandusky was charged in November.
.
Corbett and current State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan have insisted
it is flat-out wrong to suggest Corbett wanted the investigation to move
slowly during his campaign for governor. Both have said investigators
waited to find evidence to corroborate Victim 1s claims.
.
But that evidence didnt really come until early 2011 after Corbett left
the attorney generals office and Noonan bumped the number of
investigators on the case from one to eight.
.

.
Why so long?
.
Critics have suggested that Corbett, who was the attorney general at the
time, slowed down the investigation until his 2010 election was over.
.
The latest are two Democratic candidates for attorney general who said
that, if elected, they will investigate how the attorney generals office
handled the Sandusky case. Former Philadelphia Assistant District Attorney
Dan McCaffery and former congressman Patrick J. Murphy claim the
three-year investigation was unusually prolonged.
.
Nils Frederiksen, spokesman for Attorney General Linda Kelly, said the
office would not comment on the Sandusky investigation.
.
Victim 1s mom has said she was shocked when police told her they couldnt
arrest Sandusky immediately. Her son, the Clinton County teen, had
described graphic details of prolonged abuse to police, to Children and
Youth Services, and then to a grand jury.
.
She wondered, why wasnt Sandusky charged sooner.
.
The grand jury that investigated meets only for a few days each month and
also was hearing evidence of other cases.
.
By comparison, in 2006, when the attorney generals office began
investigating a Marysville police officer accused of sexually abusing
girls, the officer was charged 13 months after the grand jury convened.

In addition for developing evidence of deliberate delay of justice for
political reasons, there is the problem of not knowing how to find
information in the age of digital research.
"A Google search of the name Jerry Sandusky would have revealed the book
in seconds."
Perhaps police detectives and crime investigators also need to learn more
about the Googles.
