As jury selection begins in the trial of former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky Tuesday, the judge ruled on Monday that the victims will not be allowed anonymity.

Judge John Cleland also ruled that no form of communication will be allowed from the court room, including Twitter or other social media.
