BOYDTON -- An Anglican priest was sentenced yesterday to serve four years in prison for aggravated sexual battery and taking indecent liberties with a child.
The Rev. Scott Jacquelin, the priest at Saint Luke's Anglican Church in Goochland County, pleaded guilty to the charges in Mecklenburg County Circuit Court several months ago.
The assaults against the boy, now 13, occurred between 1999 and 2001, according to court records.
Mecklenburg Circuit Judge Les Osborn ordered that Jacquelin, after his release, will be on indefinite supervised probation, must receive outpatient sexual-offender treatment and must stay away from the boy. Jacquelin was immediately taken into custody.
Jacquelin, 41, was sentenced to 20 years on the aggravated sexual-battery conviction with all but four years suspended and 10 additional years for taking indecent liberties, with all of that time suspended.
Court records indicate that the incidents were not related to Jacquelin's church activities.
