He allegedly met the victims through his volunteer work as a bus driver for Target Ministries of Dayton, who provided transportation and assistance in poorer neighborhoods in the Dayton area.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-pr-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden\">\n<div class=\"field__items\">\n<div class=\"field__item even\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Eventually, Leedy allegedly ingratiated himself into the family and began visiting the victims\u2019 home, taking them to church in Cincinnati and on trips to the zoo, Cincinnati Reds games and Kings Island. He began taking the boys on vacations out of state.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Leedy had allegedly provided the family with a fake name. His true identity was discovered during an altercation with the victims\u2019 father in which the police were called. Police advised the parents of Leedy\u2019s true identity and that he was a registered sex offender.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It is alleged that the defendant sexually abused the victims consistently for more than two years and that he threatened the victims that if they told anyone what happened he would not able to take them fun places
