LEE COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) – A former Lee County Scout leader is sentenced to 25 years in prison for sexually assaulting two young boys.

49 year old Donnie Weaver pleaded guilty in Lee County Circuit Court.  He was sentenced to 40 years with 15 of those suspended.

The Okolona resident admitted to having inappropriate relations with the two boys, ages 8 and 9, during a Scout outing last year.

Because of the nature of the crimes, Weaver likely will not earn early release time.
