It appears that the elderly twins charged with child pornography and sexual abuse were leading a double life.
An August 2011 video shows Jack and Jerry Cassidy singing at Bryan Station Baptist church. The 76-year-olds were reportedly loyal church goers and visited nursing homes around Lexington to spread the gospel.
Police say officers not only found hundreds of photos of young boys tied up, naked and kissing each other in the twins’ home, they also found journals documenting the abuse. Investigators say there were records of practically every young boy in their Boy Scout Troop, including birth dates and a timeline.

Police say there was a “poem book” about each child and two books containing logs of sexual abuse. Investigators described the records as “trophies.”
Jack and Jerry Cassidy are accused of abusing children, mainly boy ages 8 to 15, from 1963 to 1985. The case that LEX 18 first broke, has continued to get bigger as more people come forward claiming abuse by the twins.
The Cassidys remain booked in jail. They have each also been indicted on additional charges – four counts of indecent or immoral practices with another. The case has been waived to the grand jury.
Lexington police have teamed up with child sex abuse experts and other professionals to provide counseling for people who may have been victimized by Jack and Jerry Cassidy. Police make it very clear that potential victims are under no obligation to give their names or provide evidence.
