Victim #1, who’s now 18-years-old, will reveal his identity on the day of the book's release in an interview with ABC News.

Sandusky ,68, allegedly fondled Victim #1 and performed oral sex on him multiple times. The teenager first alerted authorities in 2008 and helped launch the investigation leading to Sandusky's conviction in June on 45 counts of child sexual abuse. 

He remains jailed awaiting sentencing October 9.
