Investigation Launched Into Whether Sandusky Was Sharing Child Porn

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (CBS) – CBS News is reporting that U.S. Postal inspectors are investigating whether disgraced former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky was part of a child pornography ring.

Investigators seized a computer from Sandusky at the beginning of the year and have since been looking into the possibility that the coach was sharing child porn with others. They are also investigating whether Sandusky sent "seductive letters" across state lines for sexual purposes.

The investigation, which was launched in early 2012, involves both the U.S. Postal Inspectors office in Harrisburg and the U.S. Attorney Office of the Middle District of Pennsylvania.

Sandusky, who was arrested last November on allegations of child sexual abuse, was convicted in June of 45 counts of child sex abuse.
