Cypress : Ex-Boys’ Club Director Sentenced for Sex Abuse
- Share via
A former Cypress Boys’ Club director was sentenced to 14 years in prison Friday for molesting three teen-agers.
Donald Lee Lusk Jr., 43, who pleaded guilty in January to 46 counts of child molestation, was arrested in 1983 after parents of two brothers, 13 and 17, claimed their sons had been molested on a visit to Lusk’s apartment in La Palma. Lusk, who worked at the club for about four years, had become friends with the family and had been on numerous outings with the two teen-agers.
During a police investigation, officers discovered a third boy, 15, who said he had been molested while living with Lusk.
