The incidents took place in Kearney between 1999 and 2006. In each case, Jones either exposed himself to the boys, touched their private parts or was involved in oral sex with them.
With good time, Jones could be eligible for parole in 8½ years. Judge John Icenogle gave him credit for 27 days already served in prison.
During the hearing, Icenogle told Jones he took advantage of a position of trust.
“Not only did you hurt their minds, you hurt their souls,” Icenogle said of the victims.
