LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (AP) – The former manager of an eastern Kansas mobile home park has been sentenced to life in prison for molesting four children from November 2009 to May of this year in his trailer.

Sixty-one-year-old Lawrence McDonagh II, of Tonganoxie, was sentenced Thursday.

 

A judge in Leavenworth County District Court pronounces sentence for McDonagh’s no-contest plea on multiple counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child.

McDonagh was arrested in May after deputies served a search warrant at the Paradise Mobile Home Park and seized several items from his home.

Prosecutor Todd Thompson says McDonagh initially was charged with eavesdropping for secretly videotaping children, but the charges were amended after evidence led to the molestation charges.
