If the main prosecution witness who also is the accuser is proven to have lied about 10 times to the jury.?

If a defense atorney proves that the main prosecution witness who is also the accuser has lied to the jury over ten times (such as lied about being assaulted before) and other important things would the witness lose credibility with the jury?

one would think so..
