EXETERâThe two-year -long case against a former local Boy Scout Chaplin came to an end last week in a Washington County Courtroom.Â
James Glawson, 76, of 101 Widow Sweets Rd, Exeter was sentenced last week after pleading nolo contendere to 11 counts of first-degree sexual assault.
According to the Rhode Island Attorney Generalâs Office the Rhode Island State Police first began its investigation of Glawson in January 2019 after they received reports from staff at a Rhode Island group home of inappropriate contact between Glawson and an developmentally disabled 18-year-old resident at the group home. The resident later told investigators that he was victimized by Glawson.
