SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) A 63-year-old Springfield man has been sentenced to two
life sentences for sexually abusing young children.

Bruce Cagle pleaded guilty last year to two counts of first-degree statutory
sodomy for abuse involving two 8-year-old girls more than a decade ago.

The Springfield News-Leader reports while that case was ending two additional
people came forward to say he had abused them decades ago.

At a sentencing hearing Tuesday, all four victims addressed Cagle about the
trauma of his abuse before Judge Thomas Mountjoy sentenced him.
