It was almost a year ago that LEX 18 first broke the story of Jack and Jerry Cassidy, former Boy Scout Volunteers accused of sexually abusing young boys decades ago. On Friday, Jack Cassidy was sentenced to 20 years in prison, the maximum sentence for the crime.
Jack Cassidy will go to prison for abusing and molesting young boys, many of them Boy Scouts at the time. His twin brother, Jerry, is still too sick to be in court.

Lexington Police raided their Mason-Headley Road home nearly a year ago after receiving a tip. They found dozens of files and photos of the young boys the brothers were accused of abusing.
Police recovered hundreds of pictures of young boys tied up, naked and kissing each other. They also found journals detailing the abuse.
Back in August Jack Cassidy pleaded guilty to the crimes and told the judge he didn’t remember much about the abuse because he “had taken it out of his mind.”
The Cassidy brothers lived a double life for years, singing at Bryan Station Baptist church and even singing at nursing homes.
After being sentenced Jack Cassidy apologized and then said that he and his brothers were “out of their minds then.”
The sentencing will be held at 1 p.m.
