Mark Chapman, 51, of New York was sentenced to 12 to 20 years after pleading guilty to two counts of sexually assaulting two boys at the time he was a scoutmaster in the Detroit suburb of Roseville, where he also worked in and attended The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
"Today’s sentencing sends a clear message that those who prey upon children will be punished," Michigan Attorney Geneneral Dana Nessel said in a statement. "As our review of allegations made against adults in the Boy Scouts of America continues, I encourage those with information to come forward and share their story."
Starting in 2000, one victim was abused at the church — where the troop sometimes met — and other places from the time he was 13 or 14 until he was 17, according to Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. The second victim was assaulted for years beginning when he was about 11.
