A Bradford County man will spend over 20 years in state prison for sexually abusing four different juveniles over a six year period.
According to the Bradford County District Attorney’s Office, 57-year-old James Vanderpool was sentenced to 21 years to 50 years in prison for four counts of aggravated indecent assault and five counts of person not to possess a firearm.
