FT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) – A Ft. Lauderdale jury found a former youth pastor accused of molesting children not guilty on all counts.
When the jury resumed their deliberations Thursday morning in the trial of Jeffrey London they had a question for the judge concerning the definition of “reasonable doubt.” The judge told the jury to go back and read up on the definition.
Just after 2 p.m. a decision was reached and London was acquitted of 27 counts of abuse.
Prosecutors claim London, 50, sexually assaulted four boys who are now adults.
On Tuesday, London 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.
