A 67-year-old man was sentenced Friday to 98 years to life in prison for molesting a boy from 1997 through 2001 in the Stanton area.
Terry Lyn Myers of Garden Grove was convicted in February of five counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and three counts of lewd or lascivious acts on a minor, all felonies.
Myers began molesting the boy when he was about 9 years old, prosecutors said in a sentencing brief.
At one point, Myers, who volunteered at various Orange County churches, sexually assaulted the boy “in exchange for a trip to church camp,” prosecutors said.
The boy was sexually assaulted from ages 8 through 12, prosecutors said. At times the victim was forced to watch pornography when he was about 8 or 9.
The boy, who prosecutors said was looking for safety and security, “had no one to care for him or protect him. The defendant knew this and applied physical, psychological and emotional force to repeatedly sexually assault (him),” they said.
