KEARNEY — A former church youth leader has been sentenced to 17 to 40 years in prison for sexually assaulting three boys during a span of seven years.
Thomas A. Jones, 37, was sentenced Monday morning in Buffalo County District Court on two counts of felony sexual assault of a child, two counts of felony third-degree sexual assault of a child and one count of femoly attempted first-degree sexual assault of a child.
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.
