Sandusky Trial Kicks Off

Opening arguments are to begin today in former Penn State football coach, Jerry Sandusky's, sex abuse case.  Sandusky faces 52 counts of molestation from 10 different alleged victims over a 15-year period.

Eight of the victims are expected to testify in the trial, and two of the victims have either not been located or identified by the Attorney General.

The investigation began in 2008, when a high school student told his mother and school administrators that he had been molested by Sandusky.

On November 4, 2011, charges were brought against Sandusky that sparked a great deal of controversy around the Penn State football team, and led to charges against two school officials, as well as the dismissal of the legendary football coach, Joe Paterno.

The trial will likely depend on the testimonies of the eight alleged victims.  There is essentially no physical evidence to prove that Sandusky molested the boys; however, it seems that there will be a whole lot of men claiming to have been molested by the former coach.

The credibility of the alleged victims and what they testify is supposed to be the main deciding component of this case for the jury.

During the jury selection process, more than 200 Centre County, Pennsylvania residents were interviewed, and the 12 jurors were finally selected, seven women and five men -- Many of them apparently having close ties to Penn State.
