Jerry Sandusky Penn State Abuse Secret File Points To Institutional Cover-up (updated)

[Spazito]

21. Tom Corbett, the AG at the time...

was handed the case in 2009:

"Then-Centre County District Attorney Michael Madeira transferred the case to then-state Attorney General Tom Corbett in March 2009. Corbett, now governor, declined comment through his spokesman."

He did next to nothing on it, assigning only one investigator to the case and it wasn't until Frank Noonan took over that more investigators were added to the case. Here is a snippet from an article about questions re Corbett's seeming dragging of his feet on the case:



"Just as they did during the legislative corruption investigation, people are accusing Corbett of dragging his feet on the Sandusky case for political purposes.

At that point in the case, only one investigator — a state police trooper — was handling the case, and it only involved one accuser, the now-18-year-old man from Clinton County known in court records as Victim One.

It wasn’t until January when Frank Noonan took over as state police commissioner that seven more investigators from the state police and attorney general’s office were added to the case."
