Travis Beavers was “a trusted, known individual who gained access to the children because of his relationship to the family,” according to a release from Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Jackson County Sheriff Tedd Frazier announcing the sentence Friday.
Beavers, 27, was indicted on May 3, 2019, on charges he abused the children from August 2018 until April 2019, when the victims told a family member about the abuse,
“The young victims showed incredible strength to tell an adult and end the abuse,” Yost said.
“This kind of crime has permanent effects on victims. It’s something they’ll have to deal with the rest of their lives,” Frazier said
Beavers will be eligible for parole after 15 years and, if released, will be required to register as a Tier 3 sex offender.
