LEBANON, Ind. (WTHR) — Jonathon Cavins was sentenced today to 19 years in prison for child molestation charges.
Boone Circuit Judge Lori Schein sentenced the 46-year-old to 23 years with 19 years executed at the Department of Corrections followed by 4 years of probation on 5 criminal felony counts.
Those counts include:
- 2 counts of Child Molestion
- 1 count of Sexual Misconduct with a Minor
- 2 counts of Child Seduction
Five male patients said Cavins inappropriately touched their genital area after putting a condom on them. Cavins testified that all five victims had asked to see a condom, but he never put one on or touched the children inappropriately.
“We are thankful that the boys showed such strength and courage in coming forward to tell their story of abuse. By doing so, Lebanon Police Department Detectives and members of the Boone County Prosecutor’s Office were able to obtain this important conviction on their behalf and on behalf of Our Community," Prosecutor Kent Eastwood said. "We pray that this will serve as a beacon for other victims of sexual abuse to come forward to have their voices heard.”
The victims were between the ages of 12 and 17.
