>> now that the jury has this case we are able to hear for the first time from an accuser, a young man who says he was repeatedly victimized by jerry sandusky . travis weaver, now 30 years old, is the first alleged victim to come forward and tell his story on television in a report for tonight's rock center. kate snow is here with a portion of his story.
>> travis weaver has cooperated with authorities and told his story to a grand jury . he was not called as a witness in the current trial in pennsylvania but has been waiting in the wings willing to testify about what he says was repeated sexual abuse. weaver says it started when he was 10 and continued until he was 14 and tried to fight back.
>> i tried to keep him off of me and resisting him and he kind of pinned me down on the bed and i told him if he didn't get off me i'd call the police on him. and he just laughed at me and then, you know, forced me to stay on the bed and told me if i ever said anything that nobody was going to believe me and he would get my dad fired from penn state .
>> your dad was working at penn state ?
>> yes. he's worked there for my whole life.
>> was that the first time, travis , that you had ever said no?
>> yes.
>> why are you doing this? why are you sitting here talking to us? why are you talking now?
>> because i kind of feel responsible for all the other kids that this happened to, and i want people to be aware that it is happening and let them know that it is okay to step up and say something.
>> if jerry sandusky were sitting right here --
>> i'd punch him in his mouth.
>> would you say anything first?
>> no. there would be no reason to say anything. he knows what he did. i know what he did.
>> reporter: travis weaver had sued sandusky, the second mile, and penn state university . we were unable to get any comment from the lawyers who represent sandusky in that civil suit . brian?
>> tough stuff. all of it is. kate snow , thanks. and of course we'll air much more of kate's bracing conversation with travis weaver later tonight on "rock center" at 10:00 , 9:00 central.
