Bellefonte, Pa. - Jury selection begins Tuesday in the trial of former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky.

Sandusky is accused of sexually abusing at least ten boys over a period of 15 years.

He has been under house arrest since December and has pleaded not guilty.

Prosecutors say he met some of the alleged victims through "Second Mile," the charity he created for underprivileged children.

“We've been trying to overcome this tidal wave of presumption of guilt since November fifth,” said Sandusky’s attorney Joseph Amendola. “I want to try to make sure that Mr. Sandusky gets to court and can get a fair jury to hear the sides, on both sides of this case.”

The judge has ruled the alleged victims must testify using their real names.
