>>> former penn state defensive coordinator jerry sandusky goes on trial tomorrow. we have a preview tonight from nbc's national investigative correspondent mike.

>> reporter: sandusky 's charged with 52 counts of child sex abuse , accused of molesting ten boys over a 15-year period. he has pleaded not guilty.

>> given the charges jerry sandusky is facing, a conviction on even a few of these counts would land him in jail for the rest of his natural life .

>> reporter: prosecutors have lined up eight alleged victims to testify. all of them say sandusky met them through his child for troubled kids. victim four told the grand jury he was subjected to more than 50 acts of sex abuse , and given dozens of gifts by sandusky , including golf clubs and money to buy marijuana. another key witness , victim nine, who has alleged repeated assaults in the basement of sandusky 's home where he says he once screamed for help, hoping sandusky 's wife, dottie, would hear him. the defense strategy , hammer away at the credibility of the victims by suggesting they conspired with each other in hopes of profiting by filing civil lawsuits.

>> at least one of the accusers, that's all the accuser are talking about. what they're going to do with the money they're going to get.

>> reporter: proving all the victims are making up their stories is really difficult.

>> you'll have a tough time showing that everyone in this case is lying, or everyone else in this case has colluded with everyone else to con together this story.

>> reporter: last week a jury was picked, six with ties to penn state . that could cut two ways as jerry fisher who once served on the second mile board.

>> there's a lot of people who are very upset with jerry sandusky because he has brought on this whole situation for penn state . giving it a bad name. but i think it only takes one juror who was a penn stater that could remember what jerry sandusky did for the football team and university as a whole.

>> reporter: some asked the clients to use pseudonyms to spare them the embarrassment, but the judge turned the request down saying there was no legal precedent. when the alleged victims start testifying tomorrow, their names will become known for the first time. lester?

>> michael, thank you.
