JUNCTION CITY — Geary County Attorney Steve Opat said Tuesday that Jordan Young, former music minister for Faith Tabernacle Apostolic Church in Junction City, has been sentenced to more than 24 years in prison.

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

As part of the sentence handed down in Geary County District Court on Monday, Opat said Young also will be required to register with authorities for the rest of his life and was assessed a “post-release of lifetime.”

“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,” Opat said.

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 filed in court, Young was employed as a music teacher at the Apostolic Academy when nine teenage boys came forward on Aug. 5, 2012, and said 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 2012.
