A former volunteer at a church in Santa Rosa has been sentenced to 12 years and eight months in prison for sexually abusing a boy, starting when the victim was 12-years-old. Fifty-nine-year-old Drue Mordecai, who was convicted in early August, was sentenced on Wednesday. The crimes were committed between 2016 and 2020. Mordecai was initially charged with 28 counts but took a plea deal to plead no contest to fewer charges. Mordecai was recently featured in a Max documentary series called “The Truth About Jim,” which is about his father, Jim Mordecai, who graduated from Montgomery High School in 1960. The older Mordecai was accused of abusing and sexually assaulting several young women.
