On one level the Penn State sexual extortion case is closed, for reasons including preventing further embarrassment for at least two athletes.

But there’s also this: More than 30 videos and images, many involving group sex or Penn State athletes in various states of undress in the football locker room, remain out there in the digital world, in the possession of an obviously malicious person or persons, according to authorities.
