Former Crystal Lake church deacon supporters call 'very faithful Christian' gets 5 years for sexual abuse of girl

A former church deacon whom supporters described as a “role model” was sentenced Thursday to five years in prison for the sexual assault of an underage church choir member. David Tapley, 54, of Crystal Lake, was found guilty by a jury in September of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. The conviction followed testimony from the girl who, with her service dog nearby in the courtroom, said Tapley began touching her inappropriately in the car on rides home from choir practice at SS. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Cary.
