Former church youth pastor, charter school leader and unofficial foster parent Jeffery London faces a maximum of life in federal prison when he is sentenced today for using a cellphone to lure an underage boy into sexual activity with him.
But London’s defense says he should get a maximum punishment of 15 years for the lone sex crime he has been convicted of committing.
London, 51, was acquitted of 27 state child sex abuse charges after a jury trial in state court in Broward in April 2014.
But in June, another jury found him guilty of persuading, inducing, enticing and coercing a 16-year old boy to engage in sexual activity after a separate trial in federal court in Fort Lauderdale.
