FT. LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) — The jury has finished deliberating for the day in the case of a former youth pastor accused of sexually abusing four young boys.
Deliberations began Wednesday afternoon after closing arguments wrapped up and will continue Thursday at 9:30 am.
On Tuesday, the accused pastor, Jeffrey London, 50, took the stand and said he’s been falsely accused. London said the young men who brought the charges, were upset at being evicted from the home he provided for them.
London faces 27 counts of child abuse.
Prosecutors said he molested the boys who are now young men. The four were ‘at risk’ children whom prosecutors said viewed London as a ‘father figure.’
