Sandusky co-wrote an autobiography titled Touched: The Jerry Sandusky Story (ISBN 9781582612706), which was published in 2001. His co-writer was Keith "Kip" Richeal. The book also includes a quote in a foreword from football coach Dick Vermeil about Sandusky: "He could very well be the Will Rogers of the coaching profession." In the book, which was still on sale at the Penn State bookstore according to a November 12, 2011, report in a Harrisburg paper, "Sandusky paints a picture of himself as someone who would consistently take risks in pursuit of what he often refers to as 'mischief'". Other passages which look "different in light of the horrendous allegations" include:

• "ou could mess up a free lunch", Sandusky quoted his own father as telling him
• "I thrived on testing the limits of others and I enjoyed taking chances in danger"
• Sandusky telling of demonstrating his throat-hold on a Second Mile boy who'd come to Sandusky complaining of a "foster father 'grabbed me around the back of my shoulders and ... made me do something when I didn't want to do it'"
• Repeated descriptions of Sandusky hugging boys and talking about being very close to boys
• "I enjoyed pretending as a kid, and I love doing the same as an adult with these kids."
