Making swift moves to deliver on her campaign promise to investigate Governor Tom Corbett’s handling of the investigation of child sexual-abuse accusations against Jerry Sandusky, Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane has tapped H. Geoffrey Moulton Jr. as the special prosecutor leading her office’s examination of Corbett’s pursuit of the case.
According to a press release Monday from the Office of the Attorney General, Moulton will start his work "effective immediately." The release was short on details about how the investigation will play out and focused mainly on Moulton’s background, which includes work as the first assistant U.S. attorney to the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and the leader of an administrative review for the U.S. Department of the Treasury following the Waco siege of 1993.
