A Detroit troop leader from New York was sentenced to 12 to 20 years in prison for abusing two Boy Scouts. The man also worked for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
"Today’s sentencing sends a clear message that those who prey upon children will be punished," Michigan Attorney Geneneral Dana Nessel said in a statement."As our review of allegations made against adults in the Boy Scouts of America continues, I encourage those with information to come forward and share their story."
Starting in 2000, one victim was abused at the church — where the troop sometimes met — and other places from the time he was 13 or 14 until he was 17, according to Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. A former Detroit Boy Scout troop leader was sentenced to 12 to 20 years in prison for child sex abuse.The second victim was assaulted for years beginning when he was about 11.
The Michigan charges were announced March 9, before Chapman’s parole from a New York prison where he served more than nine years for child abuse convictions there. A victim in New York also is one of the alleged victims in Michigan.
