Geary County Attorney Steve Opat says that former music minister for Faith Tabernacle Apostolic Church in Junction City, Jordan Young,  has been sentenced to 297  months in prison.

The prison term stems from Young’s convictions in an alleged child molestation case.

As part of the sentence handed down in Geary County District Court on Monday, Opat said Young was also assessed a post-release of lifetime with lifetime registration.  The prosecutor stated, “Basically, means if and when he ever gets out on parole, or post-release, if he has occasion to screw it up he goes back to the Department of Corrections.”

Young pleaded no contest in November, and was found guilty of one count of Aggravated Criminal Sodomy and three counts of Aggravated Indecent Liberties With a Child.

According to a stipulation of the facts that were filed in court, Young was employed as a music teacher at the Apostolic Academy when nine teenage boys came forward on August 5, 2012 and disclosed that Young was sexually inappropriate and / or had engaged in sexual acts with the boys.

Young was arrested and charged in the case following a Junction City police investigation in August of 2012.
