Piano teacher gets life for molesting young students
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A Southern California piano teacher who molested students as young as 10 years old during lessons has been sentenced to 100 years to life in prison. The Orange County district attorney’s office says 65-year-old John Mordecai Scott was sentenced Friday for molesting eight girls over two decades. Prosecutors said during lessons at his Lake Forest home and two other locations, Scott groped the girls, showed pornography to some victims and photographed one girl in explicit poses. Scott was arrested in 2014 after a 10-year-old student reported that he took “inappropriate” photos of her.
