Jerry Sandusky's book, 'Touched,' helped police investigation into alleged sex crimes

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.

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.

Yep and 'The Production Code' (aka: Hayes Code iirc). At least with 'The Code' in effect all movies were 'family movies'. So despite the private perversions of those involved in any Movie the good guy won, crime didn't pay, religion was respected, families were families, and nobody ran around butt naked. (As I recall there were like Ten Basic Rules in the code that studios had to follow).

When I watch the Maltese Falcon, or a Classic like it, I imagine how it would be made today. I thank God nobody has thought of remaking it -- 'yet'.
