Retired California Deputy Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison for Planning Sex Crimes Against Children in Arizona
Jeffrey Joseph York, a 68-year-old retired deputy from the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for luring a minor for sexual exploitation and two counts of attempted sexual conduct with a minor in Arizona. The Yavapai County Attorney’s Office found him guilty after an undercover officer posed as a child on social media and arranged a meeting with York, who detailed the acts he planned to commit with the children.
While the judge’s hands were tied by a recent precedent set by the Arizona Court of Appeals, the Yavapai County Attorney Dennis McGrane expressed hope for a longer sentence, with the possibility of seeking 30 years if the state Supreme Court overrules the precedent. York’s shocking and despicable conduct has sparked outrage, and authorities are working to ensure that justice is served in this case.
