A former local pastor and junior-high basketball coach will serve at least 30 years in prison for sexual abuse of a 13-year-old boy.

Jonathan Masteller, 24, was recently sentenced in Lancaster County Court to 30 to 80 years in prison for the sexual assaults, which he also photographed and videotaped.

Masteller pleaded guilty in July to 12 counts of sex abuse and faced a mandatory 10-year prison term.

President Judge Joseph Madenspacher ordered consecutive sentences on four of the charges for the grand total of 30 to 80.
