The twin brothers, arrested on child porn charges after a disturbing find at their Lexington home, volunteered with the Boy Scouts of America many years ago, according to reliable sources.
76-year-old brothers Jack and Jerry Cassidy were arraigned over video Tuesday afternoon on child porn charges. The twins, who had their mug shots taken in what appears to be their bath robes, were picked up after a tip led police to their Mason Headly Road home.

Inside, police say they found pornographic images of school-age children on videos, pictures, cameras and film.
Reliable sources tell LEX 18 Jack and Jerry Cassidy served as Boy Scout volunteers for many years.
An LEX 18 crew went to the Boy Scouts of America office on Richmond Road where no one recalled the brothers volunteering. Their names were not listed on the council’s registries, but the current list only dates back 15 years.
“If they were, it has been many, many years ago,” said Chip Armisaw, Boy Scouts executive director.
“They’re 76-years-old. Do your records go back 30, 40, 50 years?” asked LEX 18’s Leigh Searcy.
“I’d have to contact the national council of the Boy Scouts of America,” Armishaw said.
The Scout’s executive director says if anyone comes forward claiming the Cassidys were their troop leader, the council will contact Lexington police.
Their bond set at $10,000 full cash.
Jack Cassidy has lived at the home on Mason Headley since 1977. His brother has lived there since the 1980’s.
