A Logan County child molester is going away for a very long time.
Jeffery Brooks of Russellville plead guilty Friday to 10 counts involving the sexual abuse of a child and another charge of possession of child pornography in Logan Circuit Court.
Brooks was scheduled to be in court for a suppression hearing, but instead chose to work out a deal with assistant Commonwealth Attorney Joe Ross.
The plea agreement will send Brooks to prison for up to 30 years and he will not be eligible for parole until he has served at least 20 years.
In addition, Brooks will also spend the rest of his life as a registered sex offender and will be strictly monitored for at least five years after his release from prison.
