A man found guilty of multiple charges against young people will spend the rest of his life in prison.

68-year-old David Wesley Meaders was convicted on 10 counts including forcible sodomy and rape, child molestation, and deviate sexual assault against several victims between 1996 and 2012. 

Taney County Presiding Judge Jeffrey Merrell went with the jury's recommendation which included life sentences for sodomy and rape counts.
