A former suburban Philadelphia police officer has been sentenced to decades in prison on convictions of sexual abuse of five teenage boys decades ago.
Bucks County Judge Wallace Bateman Jr. on Tuesday sentenced 54-year-old James Carey to 24 1/2 to 55 years in state prison on 20 counts of statutory rape, aggravated indecent assault without consent and related charges.
Prosecutors alleged that Carey assaulted boys in the 1990s, while also serving in the Centennial School District as a resource officer with the then-federally funded Drug Abuse Resistance Education or D.A.R.E. program. Carey maintained his innocence but in October entered no contest pleas, which do not include an admission of wrongdoing but acknowledge that prosecutors have enough evidence to secure a conviction. He tried to withdraw the pleas months later, but the judge refused to allow him to do so.
