A report showed a prosecutor heading the Jerry Sandusky child molestation investigation sought to have him charged in 2010 but her higher-ups felt the single victim at that time wasn't enough. The review of how the Sandusky case was handled faults police and prosecutors for long delays in bringing charges but found no evidence that politics affected the investigation into the former Penn State assistant football coach. The prosecutor, Jonelle Eshbach, kept emailing her bosses about the case during a stretch in 2010 when the probe was largely dormant. Eshbach drafted a grand jury report in March 2010 based on the claims of a lone victim, but she spent much of the ensuing months - as the attorney general at the time, Tom Corbett, won the Republican gubernatorial primary - trying to get approval for the report.
