Depends on which newspaper. If you are speaking of a local newspaper, your local library may have archived it on microfilm (what was used then) and then upgrade to electronic storage. If you knew the approximate date you could search the library archives. Also, your local town or county library usually has a research librarian. You can call her and ask how to find this info. Usually this is a free service.
Larger newspapers have their own archives. A call to the research desk of a large newspaper may point you in the right direction.
Lastly, there is a lot of information on the Internet if you know how to find it. You can use multiple search engines using any combination of policeman+daughter+molestation. You can search for kinds of crime in a given year. Local newspapers usually publish a court schedule, which names the accused and the crime. Any combination of the above.

do you know what news paper your looking for? if so, call them to see if where they keep archives. If your not looking for a specific news paper, check the papers in the area where the event happened and call them. Lots of libraries sometimes have microfilm that you can look through

Go to the library. They will have old newspaper available online (special pay services offered free to library users). Some low-tech libraries may still have newspapers on microfilm or microfiche.

Go to the historian of the town it happened in. She will have all of the records, including newspapers, of the town. You can usually find out who the historian is by calling the library. If you are not near that town and can not go there, then call the library and ask them who their town historian is and how to contact her.

Your local library has info you would need as long as you know what paper it was published in.

If you go to the library, they probably have newspapers stored on film from that far back. Or you could try a nexus lexus search if it was a popular story at the time.

Go to the library and you can look back at old newspapers. They have all them on file. Just try to remember what month and date it was (at least close). This way you could go through all of them in that month.
